Hello Andrea and welcome to the forum.
1) Exclude your images, remove (or better yet, fix) your errors, then click on the Sitemap Tab, then the Export Tab, then select Sitemap XML.
2) Upload the saved file, say something like travelmondo-sm.xml to your root directory (your main directory of your website, where you main pages are). You don’t need to link to it except for in your robots.txt file.
3) In your robots.txt file, add this line (provided you saved the sitemap out as the name I suggested above).
Sitemap: travelmondo.biz/travelmondo-sm.xml
That will do it – enjoy!
Lot of thanks
at last the site map works, and its O.K in google webmaster
