When I decided to go to Greece, my dream was focused on the islands. I really wanted to enjoy the beaches, the good fish, go quad biking and see a thousand small churches on the cliffs. Come on... what everyone explains. I knew that I "had an obligation" to go to the Parthenon for an obvious matter of history; but Athens itself made me lazy. I imagined a dirty and...
Once Edinburgh has been seen and having spent a few hours in charming North Berwick, it was time to start the route through Scotland. I planned a circular route with the aim of minimizing travel times. Due to its proximity to North Berwick, the first castle to visit is Dirleton Castle. Dirleton is a quiet little town. The houses are very well maintained. They have no...
It seems strange to me to name Casa Batlló as a Getaway. It is so close from home; but it is true that the visit itself is a real journey. In fact, as they themselves say, it is a unique immersive experience. And it is for many things. It is located in the middle of one of the most emblematic streets of Barcelona: Passeig de Gràcia. It was the street that linked...
Santa Eulàlia des Riu is to the east of Ibiza. As it is relatively close to the center (the port and the airport) and that it has many services, makes the area crowded. Despite that, you can still find amazing nooks. There are awesome BEACHES in this area: Es Pou des Lleó - It is a small and closed beach with a row of very cute boat houses. There are two restaurants...
When we think of Ibiza, clubbing, crazy partying and crowded beaches often come to mind. This is so because the reality is this; but there is also another Ibiza. The great unknown. The one that few seek and fewer find. There are still nooks where you can enjoy the most authentic island. There are many BEACHES; but four stole my heart. They have own soul and they are...
My "wish list" of destinations to visit is huge and Knoxville just isn't there. Neither had it located on the map, nor was there anything in the area that caught my attention. But I had a personal event and I decided to spend three days there. I flew, with a small American company, from Newark International Airport (New Jersey) to McGhee Tyson Airport, located in the...
I arrived in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, with a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt. I was picked up from Hosea Kutako airport and drove to "Zebra Kalahari Lodge". The road is wonderful. It is a relatively comfortable and very wide unpaved track. The environment is flat and dry. One of the first things that caught my attention was the nests of giant birds...
After spending a few days in Ciudad de Guatemala and in wonderful Antigua, I caught a local flight at La Aurora International Airport (in Ciudad de Guatemala) to Mundo Maya International Airport (in Isla de Flores). The flight is very short. I left at 6:30 in the morning and arrived at my destination at 07:30. I hired everything (flight, guide and hotel) at Tag...
I had gone as a child. A long time ago. I had good memories of both the bridge and the cookies (hahaha) and I really wanted to go back. I liked it so much that I have gone two weekends! It is a dynamic town, open to mountain sports and with a wide range of historical-cultural visits to the area. If you make a link on the map you will see the exact location of the...
It is one of the most important tourist attractions in Italy. Everyone says that the Pompei ruins are unique and they probably are. Much of its value is due to the fact that it was not destroyed by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius, but was buried under a layer of ash. This is just why the city is so well preserved. The eruption was terrible, but the death toll...
I leave Dakar, after breakfast, towards Lac Rose. Slowly, I go with the van on the A1 until a detour that leads, first to Niaga and then to one of the most important tourist attractions in the country: Lac Rose. It takes me 1:15h to travel more than 40 km and finally I arrive at Chez Salim Lac Rose. It is a hotel that is next to the lake and is a departure point for...
If I'm honest, I shouldn't name this post "New Jersey." New Jersey is a huge US state and I was only in Newark, Bayonne and Weehawken; the eastern part, which is the area closest to New York. Newark: The star visit of Newark is, without a doubt, the New Hope Baptist Church. It is the church where Whitney Houston began to sing and where her funeral was held. At the...
