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. 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 confirm if...
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 have practiced until older)...
I had a personal commitment in Lerma one Sunday; That’s why I decided to leave Barcelona, by car, the day before and take the opportunity to see Burgos on the Saturday’s afternoon. I didn’t have much time, but since they had told me so well about this city, I wanted to visit it. I arrived around 3pm and left around 8:30pm. I had five and a half...
I knew this restaurant thanks to social networks. A simple photo woke up my curiosity and from this moment, you can already imagine what were the next steps: look for photos of the dishes on the internet and read reviews. Everyone spoke well and the dishes promised. It is in the center of Bonmatí, a small town (which I had not even heard of) that is located just 20...
Axol is one of those places that does not leave indifferent. It is located in a house in a residential neighborhood in Cabrils. It is not placed in a busy street; it means that if you do not go on purpose, you will never pass in front. I loved outside. It is a construction of straight lines, rather modern and with contrasts of whites and blacks. The garden is well...
