My name is Conrado Moreno-Szypowski
I will be the Special Guest of XII International Tourist Fairs
I am one of the stars of the „Europe could be liked” aired on the Polish Television’s Program 2. I was always portrayed there as a Spaniard, and as such, I am associated by many people. My background is mixed - I was born in Madrid and grew up there, but my mother is Polish. I performed in such pro- grams as “Dancing with the Stars”, “Fort Boyard”, “Dancing on ice”, “Name that tune” and I realized the feuilletons in Spain and Germany for “Questions for breakfast” broad- casted in the Polish Television. Summer of 2008, I co-led the TVP Info tourist program „Window on Poland”. I feel very well on stage - contact with people and the audience is what I enjoy doing most. Since five years I am the announcer and I lead various events I am a volunteer and I participate in meetings with chil- dren in hospitals, orphanages and schools. I co-operate with the Help School Foundation and Children’s Health Center in Warsaw. I write poems and lyrics (in Polish and Spanish), I dream of running my own radio show. In August 2010, a book „My Madrid”, which I wrote, was published. This is a Madrid’s guide and was issued by the Pascal publisher. Accompanying Events

Excellent climatic and natural values of the Opole Region Jurapark Krasiejów make the tourism flourish. Owing to the lay of the land (the Silesian Upland, the Silesian Lowland and a part of the Sudeten Plateau, the Odra River valley), you can rest here in summer and in winter. Large parts of the area are occupied by forests; there are 4 nature landscape parks and numerous areas of protect- ed landscape and natural reserves here. The largest forest areas include the Niemodlin Forests, Stobrawa, Lubliniec and Racibórz Forests. Fans of walking and biking will be interested in tourist trails near St. Anne’s Mountain and near the Opawskie Mountains, located on the border with the Czech Republic. There are many modern resort centres with comprehensive physiotherapy facilities (among oth- Zamek Piastów Śląskich w Brzegu ers, a pool, classical and water massages) in the towns of Moszczanka, Pokrzywna and Jarnołtówek. There is a mod- ern health spa in Kamień Śląski that, was the first in Poland to use thetreatment methods of Dr Kneipp. Furthermore, there is going to be a regional airfield in the town. Fans of swimming and water sports can visit reservoirs in Turawa near Opole and the Nysa and Otmuchów Lakes located at the foot of the Opawskie Mountains. Opole Silesia is a re- gion abundant in heritage buildings, starting from gothic stronghold castles to baroque palaces, to nineteenth-cen- tury small manor houses. Architectural buildings arouse great interest, including the castle in Moszna, the ruins of Pałac w Mosznej the nineteenths-century palace in Kopice, the Silesian Piast Castle in Brzeg, and late baroque palace in Kamień Śląski. When visiting the Opole Region, do not miss Krasiejów, a town in the Ozimek Commune, where one of the largest paleontological excavations in the world have been dis- covered. Discoveries included perfectly preserved remains of Triassic reptiles from 225 million years ago. There was a paleontological hall constructed at the site where excava- tions can be seen in the place where they have been dis- covered. In the future, there will be a museum and tourist complex which will become one of the most interesting

Opole is one of the oldest cities in Poland. On the Pasieka Island in Opole, archaeologists have discovered “Ostrówek,” an early medieval stronghold of the Opolans (A Slavic tribe), partly displayed in the Opole Silesia Museum. The medieval chequered urban arrangement survived in the city centre. The network of perpendicularly intersecting streets runs to the centrally located Market Square with the City Hall in the middle. It is surrounded by mostly reconstructed beautiful baroque tenement houses. There is the Franciscan Church near the Zamkowa Street. The remains of Opole Piasts (royal dynasty) are buried in the crypt in the presbytery. Szpitalna Street, the oldest street of Opole, leads to St. Cross Cathedral where the miraculous picture of Our Lady of Opoleis located. Many valuable monuments situated there include the stone gothic baptismal font. There is also a chapel with the tomb of the last prince of Opole, John the Good. There is the church at the hill nearby commemorating the possible visit of St. Adalbert in Opole. It is connected to buildings of the former Dominican cloister, today Collegium Maius of the Opole University. It is surrounded by numer- ous sculptures, including the allegory of Hartmann’s “Four Seasons.” There is also St. Christopher’s monument by Carn Kern located at the bottom of the former castle moat. The characteristic Piast Tower and the image of the Opole amphitheatre are known throughout Poland owing to the National Polish Song Festival. You can marvel at the Avenue of Polish Music Stars in the Opole Market Square: there are several stars dedicated to Polish artists built into it. Opole is a green city. Boulevards around the Młynówka Canal sur- rounded by large old trees are the most popular places for walks. The “Opole Venice” is another delightful place: facades of tenement houses, perfectly lit at night, built on foundations of medieval city walls mirror in water. The zoo, a walk on the Bolko Island and the panorama of the Piast Tower also cannot be missed. You can learn about the life of the Opolans that used to live here in the Bierkowice heritage park. The Opole Village Museum transports visitors to the age of wooden cottages with threshing floor, a blacksmith’s shop with bellows, apiar- ies, mills, the age of baking home bread and eating off clay pots. Feel invited to Opole which today is a beautiful city full of heritage objects and charming places. This is a city worth visiting and staying at least for a while.
