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...
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, but lovely...
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 understand why I had 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 minutes, you...
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 December...
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. There you can enjoy the...
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 Costa Brava. I had...
