New 7 wonders of the World

The Seven Wonders of the World is a list of seven remarkable manmade constructions of great beauty that were known in the classic world for being worth visiting, at least once in a live time. Of the old seven wonders, only the Pyramid of Giza still exist. And in a world dominated by internet, not too long could pass without a big competition being organised to elect the new seven wonders of the world that will replace the now disappeared ones. And it was in Cuzco where we discovered the existence of this competition, as all Cuzco was on the streets, and the streets were full of posters with the motto “vote for Machu Picchu”, and full of centres where you could vote for free, and there were street demonstrations and people making us feel guilty for not having voted yet…..
And having the weather cleared up, and having been able to enjoy Machu Picchu, we are going to vote for it as one of the new seven wonders of the world…. And there are still six more to chose, and we will also vote for Angkor Wat, in Cambodia, and for the only survivor of the old seven. And there are still four more to chose, and among them, a candidate from home, la Alhambra de Granada, can get one of the votes, to plug my side… and there are many other candidates, which we have seen, and many others still to be seen. And the competition finishes the 7th of July, when the new seven wonders will be named. If you have something to say, you can vote in
www.new7wonders.com Will La Zarza be among the chosen ones?
