So the only thing to feel sad about is all the dogs and the horses you'll have to out-live

I was there to say ‘hello’ but unfortunately I wasn’t there to say ‘good-bye’…so, even though I am a bit late, I bid you farewell Parouli. You were just amazing!

Girona: a trip within a trip

And what could be considered as the quintessence of a trip? A (trip)^2 squared.

Sintra: Don’t shoot the elves

If you ever find yourself travelling around Lisbon, Sintra is one of the places you’ve just got to visit (why can’t I think of a clever first line?...any way).

Primavera en Barcelona*

*Spring in Barcelona

{I have always been of the opinion that spring is the best season to travel}


A vibrant city with a Bohemian air,



something that you can feel at its squares






and its narrow streets… in Barri Gòtic. I could walk for hours through these lovely closes. It could be a reason -on its own- for me coming back to Barcelona.


Next to the terrace of La Pedrera,


there was one of those houses that make you think of your own everyday stories sitting there on that balcony – living the dream for a while.




Gaudi makes this city feel like fairytale...




When travelling,


there are always some signs that are there for you..


…“See the big picture” in whatever you do,


even if it's the details that count.




I saved this photo for last, as a wish for a joyful summertime!

Cabo Da Roca: The edge of the world

The landscapes along the coastline just outside Lisbon gave me a weird feeling. Was it awe? Was it an awakening of some sort of urge for exploration that is deeply buried in our genes?



These cliffs close to the town of Cascais are simply breathtaking. And what a name…! Boca do Inferno! According to the locals, it’s a very suitable place for a broken hart to end its pain…with just a tiny jump.


For those who are not very fond of the macabre, Azenhas do Mar is a more suitable setting. I wouldn’t say no to a beautiful little house on the top of that huge rock.


Final stop: Cabo da Roca


The thought of standing at the most occidental point of the European Continent is definitely a trip.


I am almost certain that a few centuries back, people who stood there felt like standing on the edge of the world.


To be completely honest, I felt like standing on the edge of the world, even though I know there is something at the other side of the vast river. Actually, on a clear day and if you look reeeeeally hard, you can see a McDonald’s restaurant!
