Icelandic customs
 
 
 
Now the weather, in Reykjavik, it is very cold for me, like our winter.I am wearing hat, gloves, coat , scarf, good boots, socks and coat. And it is two hours less than in Spain.I can' t see people smoking anywhere.......... and you can pay almost everything with credit cards.
The typical animals are the small Nordic horses, who brought the Vikings when they arrived in Iceland and the birds, one of the most famous is the Puffin.It is a very beautiful country for his amazing landscapes (geysers, lava fields and waterfalls).





The local beer is called Güll with golden colour the Icelanders are very proud of it.
According to Icelandic music, I can tell you that "Sigur Rós" is one of the most popular bands.Each year,in October, it is held "The Iceland Airwaves Festival" and during that time Reykjavik is bustling with music.

Information about Iceland
Icelanders have the fortune of having access to an almost limitles and inexpensive supply of natural hot and cold water.In addition, Icelanders can be proud of the quality of drinking water, which is one of the purest in the world.
The aurora borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights, is one of the finest sights in nature. It is caused by electrically charged particles emitted by the sun and interacting with earth's magnetic field. Some particles are accelerated towards the earth and guided towards two zones, one near the north pole, the other near the south pole.Colliding  with the upper atmosphere at  very great speeds, the particles cause the air to glow in the beautiful colours of the aurora.
Tomorrow I will tell you more things ...

Iceland
No man should call
himself clever
but manage his mind.

A sage visitor
is a silent guest.

The cautious evades evil.

Never a friend
more faithful,
no greater wealth, than wisdom.
