Being in the Sierra Nevada does good to your soul. I actually enjoyed visiting the mountains almost as much as I enjoy being close to the ocean and that is a lot to say. 🙂 Although I love nature I always preferred to be closer to the sea. Growing up, there was no summer in […]
We rented a car in Granada for a week and planned to spend the first couple of days in the Alpujarras. We are currently in a lovely rural house very close to Órgiva. I have a perfect view of orange and olive trees by the house and Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance. Only a […]
I have spent three marvellous days in Granada. Although the temperatures have dropped (normal for the month of March, I suppose) the sun has been out shinning. Our hostel was located in a very tranquil but centric street, two minutes away from Bib -Rambla Plaza and the Cathedral. The city of Granada is small and […]
I will be coming back to Cordoba city. I know that very well. Another city to come back to with a group of friends or family. I woke up early to pack my few belongings and to walk to the bus station but I did not leave the hostel without having my breakfast at the […]
We finally found a place with free tapas with our drink! I slowly started losing my hope but this morning we had to go to the bus station, which is outside the old part of town, to buy our ticket to Granada and on our way back we found El Huevo Restaurant Bar, with a […]
The receptionist at the hostel advised us to go to the mosque in the morning and before 10 am, while the mass is going on, to have a free entrance and a quiet time seeing the whole construction and the central plaza. The advice was definitely a good one. First thing in the morning we […]
It’s been one of my dreams to come to the south of Spain since I was a teenager. It all started with the music, the history and later the fact that I have always heard how Spanish from the south are very warm and closer to Cubans in accent and craziness. People used to tell […]
I always have a hard time leaving Barcelona and I believe it is due to the length of the stay in the city. The visits are always short and kind of rushed, besides in a town full of tourists it is difficult to find a special place and make it your own personal experience. This […]
The Caixa Forum in Barcelona is showing a large collection of Eugene Delacroix paintings until May,20th, 2012.  I am amazed at the free art exhibitions you are able to see at the Caixa. This one, coming from the Louvre Museum and some private collections has over a hundred paintings and a wide variety of subjects. […]
This is my third time in Barcelona and although I recognize many places and streets I feel like a complete tourist in the city. First time I visited in 2009 I met a very dear Cuban friend from Havana, who was working here for two months and he picked us up, took us to his […]
Two Calçotadas in less than two weeks! We have been partying it up the Catalan way! 🙂 This time our friends invited some people over to have a barbecue/calcotada and then to walk to the beach to end the afternoon. It was just another reason to get together for a couple of beers, glasses of wine […]
