Salgótarján

Salgótarján is the county seat and largest city in Nógrád county, Hungary. Once a small mining town, the city was built in a very modern communist style, leaving much to be desired in terms of classical architecture. Nevertheless, the city boasts two excellent castle ruins and several hiking opportunities through the forested Cserhát hills.

By train
The city is only accessible by train from Hatvan. Trains leave typically every other hour and take roughly an hour and fifteen minutes. Nearly all the trains are személy, or slow trains, and they will stop at every small town. Fortunately, the scenery and hills are quite lovely and the trip goes by quickly.

By car
From Budapest take the M3 to Hatvan. From there Salgótarján is most easily reached by route #21. From Szécsény take route #22. From Slovakia take route #71 from Fil'akovo.

Get around
Counting the suburbs there are three train stations: Zagyvapálfalva, Salgótarján külső and Salgótarján (the main station). For most tourist purposes the main station is the only one that stops downtown and the only one that matters. The Somoskőújfalu station can be used to reach the castle ruins, but even then it's simply easier to take a bus from downtown.

The intercity bus station is also downtown, opposite the main train station. Nográd Volán provides local bus services throughout the town. Unless you have a whole day of hiking planned, this is the only way to get to the castle ruins. Bus #11A goes to the castle in Somoskő and bus #11B to the ruins to in Salgóbánya. Both of these buses only run once an hour. If you want to visit both castles it gets tricky as you'll have to visit one, then backtrack to Ifjúság u. where you can catch the other bus.

Taxis are another option and you have to call in advance.

The downtown is incredibly compact and easy enough to get around by foot.

Museums

Architecture

 * Plébániatemplom (Cathedral) located opposite the County History Museum is the main church in the town.

Castle ruins

 * Somoskő (Šomoška) Castle (take bus #11A from downtown) in the suburb of Somoskő is the more restored of the two castles and has an awesome presence atop a 526-metre-tall hill. One of the three original towers is restored. The castle lies on the Slovak side, but it´s easily accessible from the Hungarian village of Somoskő without need of passport control as both countries are part of EU-Schengen border system.
 * Salgói Castle Ruins (take bus #11B from downtown) is in the suburb of Salgóbánya. Though not as restored as the other castle, it provides excellent views of the region from its 625-metre perch.

Hiking
From casual walks to more serious treks, from anywhere in the city you're never far from the hills.
 * Pipis hegy is the hill directly west of downtown. This quick and easy hike also features a Kálvária (Calvary) monument.
 * Study Trail is a 2-km-long trail that leads to the Salgó castle ruins. Along the way signs explain the local flora, fauna, and geology.

Salida (Colorado)

Salida is a town in South Central Colorado. The nearby, smaller town of Poncha Springs is also treated in this article.

Get in
The Salida airport is for civil aviation and charter flights, and has no commercial service. The nearest airports with commercial service are in Pueblo and Colorado Springs some 100 miles to the east; Denver, slightly more distant, is a major air hub. Salida is on US 50, while Poncha Springs is on US 285. Both of these roads go over fairly high passes near town, to the west and south respectively; Poncha Pass on 285 is usually open through the winter except immediately after snowstorms, while higher Monarch Pass on 50 can take longer to re-open after it snows. Chains or 4WD are useful when driving in this area in the winter. Travel time from western metro Denver to Salida is approximately 2½ hours. To get the latest travel information visit the official website for Salida.

Do

 * River running: The nearby Arkansas River has famous whitewater, and the Brown's Canyon section is a classic. If you're not equipped for a float or paddle, try one of the several outfitters in the region.  (Advance reservations are a very good idea.)  Four Corners/Buffalo Joe's Rafting, +1 866-283-3563 is a well-regarded outfitter; try also Arkansas Valley Expeditions, +1-800-833-7238.  Several others are along US 24 on the way to  Buena Vista and are listed in the Buena Vista article.
 * Hot springs: There is a public bathhouse and hot-spring-fed pool on Rainbow Boulevard (main drag through town) that draws water from Poncha Spring near the town of the same name. The main pool is rather cool by hot-spring standards and is "family oriented," but there is also a smaller "therapeutic" pool with temperatures over, and private hot tubs are available for rental.

Go next

 * Monarch Mountain downhill ski area is a short distance west of town.
 * You can continue up-valley to Buena Vista for more outdoors activities. Many of the state's highest mountains are in the Sawatch Range west of US 24 between Salida and Buena Vista and are reachable by trails.  (Pay attention to the possibility of altitude sickness before venturing into them, however, and have good maps and equipment; although most of the Sawatch are gentle, people still die there.)

Salisbury (England)

Salisbury is a cathedral city in the English county of Wiltshire, in the West Country at the confluence of the rivers Avon, Nadder and Bourne. Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is 8 miles (13 km) northwest of Salisbury. Salisbury holds a Charter market on Tuesdays and Saturdays and has held markets regularly since 1227.

Understand
In 2021, Salisbury had a population of 42,000 people.

Salisbury began as a settlement around a cathedral, 'Old Sarum', which was located to the north of the modern city, and which operated between 1092 and 1220. Only its foundations remain. When a new cathedral was built near the meeting of the rivers, settlement grew up around it instead. This town was called 'New Sarum', but eventually renamed 'Salisbury '.

The rivers which flow through the city are landscaped are feed into public gardens, such as the Queen Elizabeth Gardens. The gardens are popular in the summer as the water there is shallow and slow-flowing enough to enter safely.

By plane

 * is about drive from Salisbury via the M25 (anti-clockwise), M3 (southbound), A303, A346 and A30.

By car
Salisbury has been a major regional crossroads for thousands of years, and this is still the case today, with the A30, A36, A338, A345 and A360 main roads crossing here. Traffic is notorious in Salisbury, particularly on a Friday, and generally on the A36 Southampton Road, because there is no motorway connecting the major cities of Southampton and Bristol. Through traffic is kept out of the partially pedestrianised and traffic-calmed city centre by the modern dual-carriageway ring road. If you are driving, you may want to consider using one of the Park and Ride sites dotted around the edge of the city. If you want to park closer, there are a number of large car parks with direct interchange onto the ring road, but beware the high prices charged. The cathedral grounds have limited parking but are a good deal: £6 for all day until 11PM, including a free tea or coffee: perfect if you want to see the cathedral and then have dinner in town. Driving in the city centre is not recommended, as there is a complex one-way system, and a large amount of traffic on the non-pedestrianised roads.

If you are driving: Salisbury is a major routeing point on the road network, and will be signed as a destination at the appropriate exits on the M3, M27, A4 and A303.
 * from London, take the M3, A303, A346 and A30,
 * from Bristol the A4 and A36,
 * from Southampton the A36,
 * from Portsmouth take the M27 and A36,
 * and from the North travel via the A34 (Oxford), A303 and A338.

Salmon Arm

Salmon Arm is a city of almost 18,000 people (2016) in the Shuswap region of British Columbia. It is a popular summer destination with its lakeside setting and beaches.

Understand
It is on the shores of Shuswap Lake, where the Salmon River empties into the Salmon Arm reach of the Lake. It is a tourist town in the summer, with many beaches, camping facilities and house boat rentals. Salmon Arm is home to the longest wooden wharf in North America.

The largest employer in the Salmon Arm area is the forest industry and related businesses; however, due to economic conditions, the former Federated Co-Op sawmill has been out of operation since 2008, although the co-located plywood production facility has generally remained operational. The city benefits from access to the mainline of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which passes through the city.

Many tourists come to Salmon Arm from Vancouver, Calgary and Asia. Most tourists arrive during the summer season, either stopping en route to other holiday destinations, or to visit Shuswap Lake, often via rental houseboats and which has recreation residential communities and campgrounds all around its shores.

History
Little is known about the history of Salmon Arm preceding the laying of the Canadian Pacific Railway in September 1885. While miners and settlers looked for gold in the surrounding areas, the beaches of Salmon Arm lay virtually untouched. By the end of the 1890s, the town had grown to include many new buildings such as two general stores, a school, and a hotel. The population had grown to over 200 people.

By 1904, Salmon Arm had acquired a reputation for having an excellent fruit harvest. The local businessmen grew fruit as a main export, sending it to the larger, more populated towns that surrounded it. The displays for their crops could be found in stores in Kamloops and New Westminster, and the Hudson's Bay Company in Vancouver often featured an entire local Salmon Arm display.

Salsa dancing in Latin America

This page is intended for salsa dance lovers who are travelling around Latin America. Surprisingly, it is quite difficult to find good salsa clubs while travelling in Latin America.

Understand
Salsa is a popular form of social dance that originated in the Caribbean. The movements of salsa have origins in Puerto Rican bomba and plena, Cuban Son, cha-cha-cha, mambo and other dance forms. The dance, along with salsa music, originated in the mid-1970s in New York. Different regions of Latin America and the United States have distinct salsa styles of their own, such as Cuban, Puerto Rican, Cali Colombia, Los Angeles and New York styles. Salsa dance socials are commonly held in night clubs, bars, ballrooms, restaurants, and outside, especially when part of an outdoor festival.

In many styles of salsa dancing, as a dancer shifts their weight by stepping, the upper body remains level and nearly unaffected by the weight changes. Weight shifts cause the hips to move. Arm and shoulder movements are also incorporated. Salsa generally uses music ranging from about 150 bpm (beats per minute) to around 250 bpm, although most dancing is done to music somewhere between 160–220 bpm. The basic salsa dance rhythm consists of taking three steps for every four beats of music. The odd number of steps creates the syncopation inherent to salsa dancing and ensures that it takes 8 beats of music to loop back to a new sequence of steps.

Colombia
Generally you can find lots and lots of salsa music in Colombia. Most of the people would know how to dance and move with the rhythm. However there are two problems for the advanced salsa dancer. First is that they usually don't do any turns, most Colombian girls get confused by Cross-Body lead ("Dile-que-no"). Second, usually people get to the clubs by pairs and sit around tables.

The elements of Cali-style salsa, also known as Colombian salsa and salsa caleña, were strongly influenced by dances to Caribbean rhythms which preceded salsa, such as Pachanga and Boogaloo.

The central feature is the footwork which has quick rapid steps and skipping motions. Colombian style does not execute Cross-body Leads or the "Dile Que No" as seen in other styles, but rather step in place and displace in closed position. Their footwork is intricate and precise.

Cali
Cali is also known as the "Capital de la Salsa" (Capital of Salsa); due to salsa music being the main genre in parties, nightclubs and festivals in the 21st century. Cali has the most salsa schools and salsa teams in the world. Cali hosts many annual salsa events such as the World Salsa Cali Festival and the Encuentro de Melomanos y Coleccionistas.

Medellin
Thete are lots of clubs around Carrera 70 (near Estadio Metro Station), including:

Cuba
In Cuba, a dance known as Casino became popular in the 1970s. Dancing Casino is an expression of popular social culture; Cubans consider casino as part of social and cultural activities centering on their popular music.

Casino traces its origin as a partner dance from Cuban Son, Cha Cha Cha, Danzón and Guaracha. Traditionally, Casino is danced "a contratiempo". This means that, distinct from subsequent forms of salsa, no step is taken on the first and fifth beats in each clave pattern and the fourth and eighth beat are emphasised. In this way, rather than following a beat, the dancers contribute in their movement, to the polyrythmic pattern of the music. At the same time, it is often danced "a tiempo", although both "on3" (originally) and "on1" (nowadays).

What gives the dance its life, however, is not its mechanical technique, but understanding and spontaneous use of the rich Afro-Cuban dance vocabulary within a Casino dance. In the same way that a "sonero" (lead singer in Son and salsa bands) will "quote" other, older songs in their own, a Casino dancer will frequently improvise references to other dances, integrating movements, gestures and extended passages from the folkloric and popular heritage. This is particularly true of African descended Cubans. Such improvisations might include extracts of rumba, dances for African deities, the older popular dances such as Cha Cha Chá and Danzon as well as anything the dancer may feel.

In the 1950s salsa rueda or more accurately rueda de casino was developed in Havana. Pairs of dancers form a circle ("rueda" in Spanish means "wheel"), with dance moves called out by one person. Many of the moves involve rapidly swapping partners. "Rueda de Cuba" consists of about 30 calls.

Cusco
Lots of places around the main plaza. All of this places teach salsa for free every night. Usually after midnight the music is changed for mixed music. Cusco is a great place to start learning salsa. but the experienced dancer would probably satisfy with dancing only with the instructors.

Stock up your water prior to dance. Dancing first time dancing above 3400m will make you thirsty.

Saltburn-by-the-Sea

Saltburn-by-the-Sea is a seaside town in North Yorkshire, England, 12 miles east of Middlesbrough. The coastal strip extends north as far as Redcar.

Until the mid-19th century, it was a tiny, remote fishing village, remote enough to make it attractive to smugglers. Then ironstone was discovered locally, the railway was extended from Middlesbrough to export it, and Saltburn suddenly grew up as a "planned town", both seaside resort and mineworkers' dwellings.

By train

Middlesbrough has a wider range of regional services, with direct trains from Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle upon Tyne, and York.

By car
Follow the A19 towards Middlesbrough, then the A174 east. The coastal route A171 from Scarborough is attractive in all weathers except fog.

Get around

 * Funicular railway. The cliff lift is one of the world's oldest water-powered cliff lifts (the oldest being the Bom Jesus funicular in Braga, Portugal). The Saltburn tramway, as it is known, replaced a vertical lift, which was closed on safety grounds in 1883. The cliff tramway opened a year later and provided transport between the pier and the town. The railway is water-balanced and since 1924 the water pump has been electrically operated. The first major maintenance was carried out in 1998, when the main winding wheel was replaced and a new braking system installed.

See
From Marine Parade you can look out over the pier which points just east of north. The coastline at Saltburn lies practically east west. To the north east of the town is the imposing Hunt Cliff, topped by Warsett Hill at 166m. Skelton Beck runs through the wooded Valley Gardens in Saltburn, then alongside Saltburn Miniature Railway before being joined by Saltburn Gill and entering the North Sea.

Do
Saltburn's attractions include the last surviving seaside pier on the Cleveland coast, restored Victorian buildings and The Valley Gardens with its many attractive features. Saltburn is also on the Cleveland Way and the coastline is popular with surfers and national surfing events are held during the autumn and winter months, attracting competitors from all corners of England, Scotland and Wales.

Annual events include the Saltburn Custom Classic Car Show (a lower prom display of mostly American cars) and the annual Folk festival. There is also a thriving local theatre, The 53 Society, and a public library.

Sports played in Saltburn include cricket, bowls and tennis played at the Club in Marske Mill Lane. The Club has been in existence for over 100 years and is nearly as old as the town. New facilities were provided in 2002 with financial help from the Lottery.

The North Riding Duck Race is held each year on 1 August to celebrate Yorkshire Day. The winner receives the "Colin Holt Cup", named in honour of the late Colin Holt, for many years the Chairman of the Yorkshire Ridings Society. A prize is given also for the duck with the most original name.

Go to the races at Redcar, which has regular flat racing events April-October. The racecourse is at Thrush Rd, Redcar TS10 2AS, just south of Redcar Central railway station.

Drink
As a town founded and dominated by Quakers, Saltburn used to have no public houses. Alcohol was served in the local hotels and the bars attached to them. The Ship Inn was listed in the parish of Brotton and was therefore outside the jurisdiction of the new town of Saltburn by the Sea. Discounting the hotel bars and private members clubs, the first public house to open in Saltburn was The Victoria on 8th December 1982.

Today the following public houses exist in Saltburn: Alexandra Vaults (known locally as The Back Alex),The Marine, Ship Inn, The Victoria, Vista Mar and Windsors (formerly The Queen Hotel). There are also several members' clubs: the Conservative Club, Lune Street CIU, Saltburn Golf Club, Saltburn Cricket Tennis and Bowls Club, and The Swingdoors.

Connect
As of Oct 2022, Saltburn and its approach roads have 4G from all UK carriers but the signal is patchy from Vodafone. 5G has not reached town but is getting close.

Go next

 * Reach the North York Moors via Yarm.
 * South along the coast to Whitby, Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington.
 * North into County Durham, where the highlight is Durham itself.
