Happy Women’s Day everyone! I have a friend who likes to repeat that there should be an international day for men too. I just think it should be everybody’s day everyday and that’s it to make it fair. Today I spent the day with a friend and her baby in beautiful and old Girona. The […]
If you travel to a Spanish speaking country please be advised before entering a public washroom that M is for Mujeres (Women) and not Men. 🙂 You might not always find the classic boy and girl picture. You could also encounter D for Damas (Women) and C for Caballeros (Men). It is not that complicated […]
Today we went up to a traditional mountain house for a lunch with our friends and another 20 people. The experience was very unique because of the location, the house itself and what we ate. We drove to a natural park called Sant Llorenç, in the area of Castellar de Valles, the road was narrow and the […]
On one side the high season has not started in Tossa, most of the businesses are closed and the hotels are empty, you can almost hear the sound of summer when you look at all the buildings and the way the city is structured for tourism. Silent discos are waiting to be opened, restaurant terraces […]
I love eating and trying different types of food. I am not very conservative with what I consume so I will normally taste something new at a place following anyone’s recommendations. Many times I tried something I liked and found myself not remembering the name later. Because of my terrible memory regarding new words I […]
Having a BBQ in a small beach, completely empty, surrounded by good friends is a nice state of things… very nice… specially when it is sunny and you have been away from the sea in a couple of months. The beach is very close to our friend’s house and it is a part of the […]

While my boots are wearing out I continue walking Madrid streets with no intention to stop. At some point my feet get tired and my stomach cannot handle anymore tapas and cañas so I am forced to go home and take a break from this city that does not seem to slow down. Today we […]
I am convinced that Spain radiates beauty everywhere you go but the more I see and discover the more I am amazed with the country’s architecture, landscapes and history. Today we drove to Pedraza, the car travelled like a time machine taking us to the 11th century in Spain, a small town in the province […]
We returned from a day with friends in the town of Segovia. The weather was gorgeous today so the clear blue sky added a perfect bonus to the natural beauty of the landscape along the way. The drive was as expected: short and fun. It actually reminded me of driving south in California because of […]
Casa Hortensia Cider house is on the third floor of the Asturian Center building in Malasaña, Madrid. It is the kind of place that you cannot find easily if you do not know about it so we got there following the advice of a friend. The main purpose of the dinner was to celebrate my seventh wedding […]
Today we went south of Madrid, looking for the warmth of Aranjuez. Although it is sunny and not very chilly in the city only a half an hour trip can make a huge difference in temperature and allows you to stay outdoors longer. When we arrived in Aranjuez the city was quiet and the light […]
