In this idyllic house Dylan Thomas was inspired
The first of them is the septuagenarian but fireproof singer Tom Jones , born in Theforest a small town a few kilometers from Cardiff. this rascal, pint lover and declared womanizer where they exist , he has sung some of the songs that have become transgenerational anthems (who does not remember Carlton Banks singing and dancing like a madman to 'It's not unusual' that immortalized the welsh tiger ) .
Cardiff's pubs recall the beginnings of this singer, a former Sexbomb, who came to boast that, in his glory years, he slept with about 250 fans a year. The Walles Millennium Center in the Welsh capital will host in March 2016 the first performances of the music _ Tom _ , dedicated to the manly interpreter of 'Delilah', who will later reach other cities in the United Kingdom.
The second home of the Welsh Tiger
The second universal Welshman that his compatriots are proud of is the poet Dylan Thomas . Born in swansea , this alcoholic and rebellious writer found in the placid town of Laugharne , known for its castle, its particular refuge. In this small town you can visit some of the places that the writer frequented, such as the Browns Hotel, the pub where Dylan Thomas drowned his sorrows in alcohol and today a very interesting boutique Bed & Breakfast.
A bed & breakfast where Dylan Thomas enjoyed good drinks
You can also see the jetty-house where he lived with his wife and his three children and which today is a cute tea room from whose terrace you can see splendid views of the estuary of the Taff river. Very close to the house, the shed-desk where the Welsh author locked himself up tight to write is preserved in perfect condition. Dylan Thomas is buried in Laugharne Church Cemetery.
Pure inspiration
The third Welshman in discord, scoundrel where they exist, was the actor Richard Burton born in the unpronounceable Pontrhydyfen , in the Neath-Port Talbot region. Perhaps for this reason Burton's diction was perfect and his voice a true balm when he recited the verses of the great poet Dylan Thomas whose centenary of his birth was celebrated in 2014.
The troubled Reverend T. Lawrence Shannon of the night of the iguana belonged to the absolute elite of British acting, sharing honors with Laurence Olivier or John Gielgud. In the land of Burton, it is highly recommended to make an excursion both on foot and by bicycle through the Afan Forest Park, previously known as Afan Argoed, and for him Marga Rural Park.
