A few places in Barcelona worth visiting

Often friends ask me for food recommendations for places we visited. They assume that because I'm a food blogger, I eat really well, but to be honest the food side of my trips is usually mediocre, because very often I select places based on proximity and price. OK, maybe it's not that bad and I'm exaggerating a little bit, I …

Barcelona – random selection of thoughts and photos

It's hard to sum up a city, any city in a few words. I usually compare cities to people, but Barcelona has so many faces. It's lively, it knows how to chill out, knows how to party, it's friendly, it's beautiful, but also knows how to chat and enjoy itself. A perfect friend. I spent …

Spain – loose ends

That's the last part of photos from Andalusia. And apart from visiting quite stellar tourist places mentioned before like Alhambra, Granada, white villages or Nerja, we managed to squeeze in a few random, more off beaten track trips. One day thanks to our hiking friend, we decided to do a short loop walk around Castril. I …

Competa and Frigiliana – the Spanish white villages

I knew I wanted to visit Frigiliana from the first time I've learnt about it. A small town with narrow, steep streets and white houses. But many of Spanish towns look like this. We visited two - Frigiliana and Cómpeta.  They almost blurred into one, not because they were a like, just because of the whiteness of …

Short walk in Granada

After visiting Alhambra, we only had time to grab some late lunch and have a short walk in Granada before we needed to head back to our cave. As often when I don't plan our lunch was in some mediocre place, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. I don't how people manage to pick good places without a guide …

Alhambra, Granada, Spain

Alhambra was a highlight and centerpiece of our trip to Spain. It is a beautiful Moorish palace with big gardens. Lonely Planet described it as the most brilliant Islamic building in Europe. Our friends planned to visit it during their first trip to Andalusia, but they didn't foresee how busy it is and you need to book tickets ahead. So …

From Baza to Nerja, our first visit in Spain

Our cats' and this blog's birthday fall around the same week, a week we usually spend away. Last year we went to Edinburgh, this year we went to Spain. We don't plan it this way, it just happens. We were traveling with two of our friends and their 10 month baby, so we haven't had too …

Fuerteventura

I can't believe we are going that far. It is crazy that it so simple to travel that far. Yes, I do have Reisefieber (travel nerves). There are so many things that can go wrong. The weather can stop us from going anywhere. We may be delayed and not manage to change for next plane, we can …
