Volendam - Dutch Fishing Village

22 April 2003


Also in the same year, we visited Voledam, if my memory recalled correctly it was a groomy day. A famous singer sang the praise of this characteristic Dutch fishing village in the words: "Anyone who wants to see the real beauty of Holland, goes to Volendam". As a result of its completely insulated location, this village preserved its character for six centuries, also because of the tough vitality of the fishermen. The characteristic small houses, which together with the canals and the drawbridges form the most picturesque spots, present an atmosphere of geniality and romance.
