English to Spanish: UK tourist attractions in winter General field: Other Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - English Stay warm at the cosiest British attractions this winter
Winter’s lovely but it can really put a chill in your bones. Luckily, we’ve gathered together some places where you can warm up and restore that rosy-cheeked good cheer.
Warming whisky tastings, a hot soak in a steamy spa or settling down around an open fire in a cosy pub: we’ve plenty of ideas to keep you feeling toasty.
Hot spas
Get out of the cold and into the wonderful warmth of a nice hot spa. Some of Britain’s best known include Thermae Bath Spa —the only natural hot spring in the UK— where you can enjoy a hot soak and look out over Bath’s historic buildings. Alternatively, grab a towel and admire the decorated Turkish-style tiles of Harrogate’s Victorian bath house beneath your bare feet as you make for the sauna.
Winter dance festivals
Get your dancing shoes on and head to a winter festival. If you like the sound of ceilidhs (traditional Scottish dance parties pronounced “kaylees”) and traditional music, head to Glasgow’s Celtic Connections festival in early January for some lively dancing, duelling fiddles and the thump of hands on drums.
Cosy pubs
Provided it hasn’t been taken by a resident dog or cat, you should be able to find some premium space by the fireside in one of Britain’s traditional pubs. The Kirkstile Inn up in The Lake District is a classic country pub with log fires, old oak beams, hearty food and tasty beers, with plenty of rooms if you want to make a weekend of it. Down in Rye, the 12th-century Mermaid Inn —once popular among smugglers— has two huge lounges warmed by roaring fires, centuries of history and plenty of delicious food and drink.
Food market
While winter food markets do tend to be outside, they also tend to sell plenty of hot mulled wine, warmed country cider and lots of delicious hot snacks to keep you warm. Borough Market in London in one of the best known, while Christkindelmarkt up in Leeds is an authentic German Christmas market —be sure to try some stollen.
Fire festivals
While we don’t recommend getting too close to anything that’s actually on fire, for obvious reasons, there are a number of fire-based winter events across Britain that might throw some stray warmth your way. Up in the Shetland Isles in January, Up Helly Aa is a great fiery Viking celebration with torch-lit processions that culminates in the burning of a Viking longship. Or, down in Northumberland, stand back as brave townsfolk run past carrying burning barrels of tar on their backs to see in the New Year.
Curry restaurants
If you ever needed an excuse to go for curry, keeping warm could be it. Britain has some of the best South Asian food in the world. Tuck into delicious spicy food at some of the UK’s premier curry hotspots, from Brick Lane and Tayyabs in London to the neon-lit eateries of Manchester’s Curry Mile.
Whisky tastings
A dram of whisky can’t fail to restore some much needed warmth on a chilly evening. If you’d like to discover the many different types available —to research which is the most warming, naturally— you’ll find plenty of distilleries in Scotland. Try the Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh to get a range of tastes, or head for your favourite single malt’s headquarters. Glen Moray and Glen Morangie are two of our favourites.
Translation - Spanish Este invierno entra en calor en las atracciones británicas más acogedoras
El invierno es maravilloso, pero puede helarte hasta los huesos. Por suerte, hemos reunido algunos lugares donde recuperar el ánimo y el buen humor mientras entras en calor.
Una cata de güisqui, un cálido baño en un balneario o sentarse alrededor de una chimenea en un acogedor pub: tenemos un montón de ideas para que te sientas bien calentito.
Balnearios calientes
Escapa del frío y sumérgete en el maravilloso calor de un agradable balneario. Entre los más conocidos de Gran Bretaña se encuentra Thermae Bath Spa (la única fuente termal natural del Reino Unido), donde podrás disfrutar de un baño caliente y contemplar los edificios históricos de Bath. También puedes coger una toalla y, mientras te diriges a la sauna, admirar bajo tus pies descalzos los azulejos decorados de estilo turco de la casa de baños victoriana de Harrogate.
Festivales invernales de danza
Ponte los zapatos de baile y acude a un festival de invierno. Si te gusta el sonido de los ceilidhs (pronunciado «queilis», son fiestas de baile tradicionales escocesas) y la música tradicional, visita el festival Celtic Connections de Glasgow a principios de enero para disfrutar de bailes animados, duelos de violines y el sonar de las manos sobre los tambores.
Pubs acogedores
Siempre que no esté ocupado por el perro o el gato del lugar, podrás encontrar un hueco junto a la chimenea en uno de los pubs tradicionales de Gran Bretaña. La posada Kirkstile Inn, en el Lake District, es un clásico pub rural con chimeneas de leña, viejas vigas de roble, comida contundente y sabrosas cervezas, con muchas habitaciones por si quieres pasar el fin de semana. En Rye, la posada Mermaid Inn, del siglo XII y antaño muy frecuentada por contrabandistas, cuenta con dos enormes salones caldeados por humeantes chimeneas, siglos de historia y un montón de deliciosa comida y bebida.
Mercados de comida
Aunque los mercados de invierno suelen estar al aire libre, también es común en ellos la venta de vino especiado y sidra calientes, así como deliciosos tentempiés para entrar en calor. El Borough Market de Londres es uno de los más conocidos, mientras que el Christkindelmarkt de Leeds es un auténtico mercado navideño alemán (no dejes de probar el stollen o pan de Navidad).
Festivales del fuego
Aunque por razones obvias no recomendamos acercarse demasiado a nada que esté ardiendo, en Gran Bretaña hay una serie de eventos invernales basados en el fuego que pueden darte un poco de calor. Al norte, en las islas Shetland, durante el mes de enero podrás disfrutar de Up Helly Aa, una ardiente celebración vikinga con procesiones de antorchas que culmina con la quema de un barco vikingo. Más al sur, en Northumberland, serás capaz de contemplar cómo los valientes habitantes de la ciudad pasan corriendo con barriles de alquitrán ardiendo a la espalda para recibir el Año Nuevo.
Restaurantes de curri
Mantenerte calentito puede ser la excusa perfecta para probar el curri. Gran Bretaña tiene una de las mejores gastronomías sudasiáticas del mundo. Saborea deliciosos platos picantes en algunos de los principales locales de curri del Reino Unido, desde Brick Lane y Tayyabs en Londres hasta los restaurantes con luces de neón de la Curry Mile en Manchester.
Catas de güisqui
En una noche fría no puede faltar un trago de güisqui para recuperar el calor. Si deseas descubrir los distintos tipos disponibles (para investigar cuál es el que calienta mejor, naturalmente), encontrarás un montón de destilerías en Escocia. Prueba la Scotch Whisky Experience de Edimburgo para conocer las distintas variedades, o dirígete a la destilería de tu single malt (güisqui de una sola malta destilado por un único productor) preferido. Glen Moray y Glen Morangie son dos de nuestros favoritos.

Bio
I started in the world of translation almost by chance, helping a friend of mine with the subtitles of several YouTube interviews with indie bands. I would never have imagined that this experience would change my life to the point that I left my job of 25 years as a developer and analyst in IBM environments to specialise as a translator. I already had the languages (Spanish - my native language - English and Italian, I'm still studying Korean), so I took a 275-hour course to become a specialist in translation. I researched translation software such as Trados, Wordfast, etc. and while I was doing all this I started working for Gengo as a PRO translator from English to Spanish. Since then almost 2 years have passed in which I have enjoyed and learned about a lot of subjects. Although my strong point in translation is software localisation (due to my previous work), this has not prevented me from specialising in other subjects related to tourism, literature or videogames.
