Get ready to go back to work with Elba Hotels
Going back to work after your holidays often comes with the post-holiday blues. Here are the best tips to get passed it.
Your schedule is transformed, sport is no longer a priority and you completely forget the burden of daily occurrences. This describes the holidays of many who are going back to work this week. And lots of people suffer!
Not returning the day right before going back, keeping active during your holidays and having healthy eating habits is some advice from specialists to avoid the post-holiday blues. Definitively, it’s about preparing your return to work after holidays.
What are the post-holiday blues?
This is an adaptive disorder that can be conditioned by a multitude of factors, beyond the obvious return to work and the "sadness" brought on due to your days of leisure coming to an end. Those who suffer have usually had a longer holiday than usual, may not like their job that much, don’t feel valued or work in an unpleasant environment.
Happy International Human Solidarity Day!
31 August is International Human Solidarity Day. Learn about the best phrases, images and the origin of this holiday, celebrating cooperation for world peace.
“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another”. Charles Dickens.
The concept of solidarity has no other meaning than giving something to others without expecting anything in return, usually to those who have less and/or who suffer more. This is the main objective of International Human Solidarity Day, to think less about ourselves and more about those who nobody else thinks about.
Let Elba Hotels tell you why we celebrate on 31 August and some ways to celebrate this day.
Origins of the holiday
At the end of the year 2000, the UN proclaimed 31 August as International Human Solidarity Day, coinciding with the anniversary of the beginning of the Solidarnosc movement, a Polish union that had great influence on the end of communism and the beginning of a democratic system in Poland. Its leader, Lech Walesa, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983.
Learn all about the good cuisine from the Cadiz province
Cadiz is rich in its culture and traditions, with a cuisine full of delicious typical dishes and desserts. We’ll show you those you can’t miss.
Appreciated throughout the world, Spain’s cuisine is one of its main cultural ambassadors, thanks to the quality of its products, the healthy Mediterranean diet, and the tradition and variety found from north to south.
The food in Cadiz is a result of the continuous union of various cultures. From the Phoenicians and Romans they learned new ways to preserve fish and prepare ancient sauces. With the Arabs came stoves, and the Jews and Christians brought a great variety of recipes, which, with the discovery of the Americas, included newly imported products.
We are talking about a gastronomy that tells the story of our country, which can be enjoyed with Elba Hotels in Cadiz, at the Costa Ballena Hotel.
Typical Cadiz recipes
Cadiz has a rich and varied cuisine, coming from three different areas: the sea, the fields and the mountains.
