I have put together a new list to show all the favourites I have found in Belgrade City. Yum yum Njam Njam. 🙂 1-) Iced Coffee This summer drink took over Belgrade and I am now addicted to it. The ingredients in this area are coffee (Nescafe or espresso), milk, ice cream, whipped cream and […]

One of my favourite Spanish dishes are Huevos Rotos (Broken Eggs). The preparation is very simple and the result is pretty rewarding. All the ingredients that you need are olive oil, potatoes, eggs and any cured meat of your choice. Ham and chorizo are my top options. Something salty or spicy puts a lot of […]

Yesterday I went to visit some friends who were celebrating their Slava (a Serbian orthodox tradition in which families celebrate their patron saint’s day).

  Kalemegdan is the oldest place in Belgrade, inhabited first by celts and baptized as Singidunum by Romans, its walls have seen the development of The White City throughout time. Looking at Sava and Danube River many generations of Serbians have found this spot to be their favourite in the city. Besides the amazing view […]
