Woven into History
𝐔-𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 🧠

As the FIFA World Cup captivates fans across the globe, the streets of Zapopan, near Guadalajara, are celebrating the tournament in a uniquely Mexican way. Suspended above the Andador 20 de Noviembre, a monumental, crocheted canopy honours the nations competing in the region while showcasing the rich artistic heritage of Jalisco.

Created by more than 200 artisans from Etzatlán, the installation stretches 200 metres in length and 8 metres in width. Comprising over 5,600 handwoven pieces and more than 1.4 million metres of yarn, it ranks among the largest crochet artworks ever created. Its vibrant design incorporates the colours and flags of the countries playing at the nearby Estadio Guadalajara, including Mexico, Spain, Uruguay, Colombia, the Czech Republic, South Korea, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Inspired by an Aztec serpent, the canopy offers visitors an ever-changing visual experience. As people walk beneath it, the colours and patterns appear to shift and transform, evoking the image of a serpent shedding its skin. Blending indigenous symbolism with contemporary craftsmanship, the installation transforms a World Cup celebration into a work of cultural storytelling.

The project was brought to life by the artisans of Etzatlán and the team behind Cielo Tejido, whose record-breaking woven canopies have earned international recognition and a Guinness World Record. By bringing their craft to Zapopan, they have elevated a local tradition onto the world stage.

More than a striking piece of public art, the installation demonstrates how cultural heritage can unite communities and visitors alike. As fans gather to celebrate the beautiful game, this colourful canopy stands as a reminder that the World Cup's greatest legacy often extends far beyond the stadium.

On the Right Track
𝐔-𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 🧠

Most train journeys take passengers through bustling cities, across rolling countryside or over dramatic mountain passes. In Slovenia, however, one of the country’s most remarkable railway experiences travels in an entirely different direction, underground.

The famous Postojna Cave is one of Europe’s most extensive cave systems, stretching for more than 24 kilometres beneath the Karst landscape. Visitors begin their journey aboard a small train that carries them deep into a world of vast chambers, limestone formations and winding passages shaped by nature over millions of years.

As the train moves into darkness, stalactites and stalagmites emerge from the shadows, revealing a landscape that feels almost otherworldly. The experience is less like a sightseeing trip and more like stepping into a hidden planet beneath the earth.

The cave is also home to one of its most unusual residents: the olm, a rare aquatic creature sometimes called the “human fish” due to its pale skin and adaptation to life in total darkness.

Slovenia’s underground world extends far beyond Postojna. More than 13,000 caves have been discovered across the country, most within the vast karst system, with others located in different regions. Among them are remarkable distinctions: Slovenia is home to the most visited tourist cave in Europe, as well as the deepest underground canyon on the continent. These cave systems were also among the first in Slovenia to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, highlighting their global importance.

What makes the experience even more extraordinary is that Postojna Cave operates one of the world’s only underground railways designed specifically for visitors, a journey quite literally beneath the surface.

When in Braga, Do as the Romans Do
𝐔-𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 🧠

Long before Braga emerged as one of the oldest and most thriving cities in Portugal, it was known as Bracara Augusta. Founded by Emperor Augustus between 16 and 15 BC, Bracara Augusta became an important Roman settlement. Strategically located in Roman Hispania, the city prospered and eventually became the capital of the Roman province of Gallaecia. Even today, nearly two thousand years later, Braga still vividly reflects the enduring legacy of that empire.

This remarkable past is celebrated every May during the Braga Romana festival, when for five days Braga once again transforms into the ancient Roman city of Bracara Augusta.

The streets fill with Roman legionaries marching in armour, traders operating in lively Roman markets, and characters such as senators, priests, gladiators, and mythological figures wandering through the city. Visitors can explore Roman encampments, watch simulated gladiator battles, attend theatrical performances and circus arts shows, or join the crowds lining the streets for triumphant Roman parades.

As the sun sets, torchlight illuminates the city, accompanied by music, dancing, and ancient rituals. Food stalls serve Roman-inspired dishes, while artisans demonstrate traditional crafts once practised by their predecessors centuries ago on the frontiers of the Western Roman Empire.

The magic of Braga Romana lies in its immersive atmosphere. It is not simply a festival to observe, but one to experience fully. For a few extraordinary days, modern Braga fades away, and Bracara Augusta lives once more.
