Hidden in a small street behind the Mercat de la Boqueria there is this venetian tavern worth visiting. The door is discreet. It does not attract too much attention; in fact, if they hadn’t taken me there, I wouldn’t have gone in. After the green door, a curious-looking place makes you feel comfortable from the first moment. It is informal in appearance...
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 did not expected to enjoy so much! It is true that they had spoken to me well and it is also true that the photos and comments that I saw on the networks excited me a lot; but I always think “we’ll see“. The restaurant is located in the center of Sant Cugat; specifically, it is between two locations that I frequent a lot and it made me not...
I have been twice in Porto, specifically, two weekends. Everyone spoke very well to me; but I went without much expectations. I liked Lisbon too much and thought that Porto would be behind. This is a clear example of the error of prejudging before knowing. Porto is amazing. Small, beautiful, with history, very nice shops and a good gastronomic offer. For me, it is...
I took the plane to Lanzarote on December 27 at mid-morning. I arrived at the “H10 Rubicón Palace” hotel in Playa Blanca at around 3pm. I ate something quick and was already in the car. I wanted to benefit of the afternoon. The LZ-2 highway is one of the main ones. It connects Playa Blanca with Arrecife (and Airport). From Playa Blanca, in just 10...
I had read that there is a wind tunnel in Empuriabrava, I had seen some photos and any video; and the truth is that I was aroused a certain curiosity, but I had not delved into the subject. When I was invited to the inauguration of the Barcelona one, I didn’t really know what it was about. Windoor opened the first wind tunnel in the Catalan capital in...
If you have the opportunity to go to the Congost de Mont-rebei, which is one of the most wonderful destinations in Catalonia, I recommend you to stay at the “Hotel Terradets” in Cellers. Its location is perfect: it is close to the Congost and the rooms have an amazing views. The restaurant “Del Llac” is placed in one of the hotel buildings...
Few hotels have surprised me as much as this one. The history of the hotel dates back to 1935, when Maria Gratacós (“la Blanca”) founded a restaurant with rooms in the bay of Llafranc. It was originally called “Fonda Levante” and did not change its name until democracy arrived. Since then, it has not stopped serving. It is a reference in the...
I will always say that the “Llevant” hotel left me out of play. It is not easy to risk to offer an extremely modern space in the middle of the promenade of Llafranc. The one that most fell in love with me is the contrast between its modernity (more typical of the coldness of a big city) and the kindness of the staff (so close that they managed to...
The Amalfi Coast is a destination I wanted to visit since I saw the movie “Under the Tuscan sun”. I fell in love with the images of Positano and I promised myself that one day I would go there. With almost a week (in spring) ahead, I had to meet three challenges: make peace with Naples, overcome the “Casa dello Scheletro” of Ercolano and...
I am in love with the Congost de Mont-rebei. I have seen it, by land, doing a hiking trail; but now I wanted to live and see it from the same river. I needed another perspective on the majesty of the place and so I organized a getaway. When I was young, I often used to go to Lake Terradets to see water skiing competition (a sport I practice in Ventalló and in...
