I have said in different occasions that I love the province of Teruel. I do not know it so much, but every day I like it more. Honestly, I have not heard of La Fresneda. Neither knew it existed nor placed it on the map. I got here thanks to the hotel “El Convent“. Once there, it was Sandra who, with her pro-activity, did not hesitate for a minute to list...
In my opinion, Ercolano has been unfairly eclipsed by Pompei. I am aware that these ruins are one of the most important in the world. However, Ercolano deserves to be more known across the globe than it currently is. Its size, its location, its hard history and some images that I will never erase from my head, made this small city get to my heart. Studies show...
Those of you who know me have always heard me say that I never go back to a place that I have already visited. Leaving aside the European cities (which I have been there several times like Naples, Lisbon or Porto); when I talk about far away and expensive destination, even though I loved them, I always say that I will not go back. There are too many beautiful places...
I love Besalú. It seems to me a fascinating town. I always find an excuse to let myself enjoy the magnificent cuisine of “Pont Vell“. The only problem that fascinates me so much is that I do not venture to discover its surroundings. I feel comfortable in Besalú and I live more intensely as I grow older and older. One day browsing the Internet I discovered...
I know it’s ugly to compare; but I also know that, sometimes, it’s hard not to do it. In this case, it is inevitable to compare Ho Chi Minh with Hanoi. They are the two greatest cities of Vietnam. One is located in the south and the other in the north. The first one has the tourist reclam of the Mekong Delta and the second one has the amazing Halong Bay...
I was staying at the wonderful hotel “Les Capçades” and wanted to do some excursion. I needed to have contact with the earth, live it closely but without complicating myself too much. I was recommended to visit the Convent of Sant Salvador and walk to the top of the Santa Barbara mountain. I arrived at the convent with the car. The same road already gives...
I am happy to start Senegal‘s publications with the Ile de Gorée. I am aware that it is not what I liked most about the country and I also know that it is one of the most tourist spots; but this little island made me feel many things. Ile de Gorée was my first contact with what they call “black Africa”. Before, I had only been to Morocco and a town...
Who has not taken advantage of the visit to the wonderful Naples to make a quick getaway to the romantic Capri? I have done it and it is really worth it. But, as always, we have a certain tendency to do what people do and it is often difficult for us to venture to discover places that are not so famous and that are awesome also. This is the case of the unknown...
I cannot excuse myself for not having known the history of the area or the Bages Terra de Vins project before. I write it with my head down and with guilt. I am often interested in places that are far away when the ones we have at home are amazing. My relationship with them has passed through three phases: First one, the discovery, was through social networks...
No one had ever told me about Horseshoe. In fact, I discovered it by chance while looking at Google Maps while planning a visit to Antelope Canyon and this area of the United States. And luckily, because I wouldn’t have excuse me for leaving Arizona without seeing it! Antelope and Horseshoe are very close. It can be used to visit both things in the same getaway...
I needed to reconcile with Naples. The first time I went we didn’t really fit together. I was not able to find the charm. I saw it dirty and I was even scared. But too many people around me spoke wonders about this city and that always made me believe that reconciliation would come sooner or later. Two whole days were enough to return fascinated. The historic...
I have always defended the search for charming nooks even in destinations as touristic as the Isla Margarita in Venezuela and these are two clear examples. La Asunción is less than 15 minutes by car from Porlamar (the main urban and economic center of the island). La Asunción is a small city that seems asleep. Despite its tiny size and the few activity that seems to...
