Christmas in Brisbane, Australia.
A few years ago I enjoyed Christmas in the tropical state of Queensland, specifically in the city of Brisbane, where my good friends Andrew and James live, the parents of the three beauties of which I am their mommy number one, Odi, Otto and Red. I already told you about them in my post about […]
Cologne, Germany.
Today is my first visit to Cologne. I take the train from Bad Honnef. I love to travel by rail, I find it very romantic, I can read while I arrive at my destination. Cologne’s central station “Hauptbahnhof” is next to the Cathedral, not ideal, but convenient. There she is, the iconic Cathedral “Köln Dom”, […]
Bonn, Germany.
I have visited this small German city on several occasions, the first time when the Christmas markets filled its squares, I had never been to any German Christmas market before and I was dazzled like a child on Twelfth Night. On the Münsterplatz (Cathedral Square) stands the imposing statue of Beethoven, in front of the […]
Madrid, Spain
Here I am, in the capital, I’m going to be a tourist. I stay in a very central hostel where they treat me wonderfully. I just passed the covid, I know that it is not fashionable (says my friend Marco) but it has left my immune system very weak, and the saying “Madrid kills me” […]
I am back in New York
A pandemic, something I would never have imagined, and yes, we have spent a long time anchored at home, in my case, on an island. My last destination outside the continent was New York and today November 8, 2021 the US opens its borders again, and here I am, I have landed in one of […]
Valldemossa, Foradada lookout. Majorca.
When they ask me what´s in Mallorca, or what I must see, my answer always is: you cannot miss these three villages: Valldemossa, Deià and Sóller (which I already told you about) Of course Palma is a pleasure and divine, but there are also some magical places, so I recommend you to rent a car, […]
The Buda Castle and a Danube river cruise. Budapest.
Today I am going to take you to the most typical places of this beautiful city, so I start by going up to the Bcastle of Buda (or Sissi) by funicular, it is like a return to the past. I only buy the one-way ticket, my intention is to walk all over the citadel and […]
Train to Szentendre. Hungary.
What a wonderful day we have this morning, we are going to Szentendre! or St. Andrew’s, a small and charming coastal village 20 km from Budapest, on the shore of Pest. There are two ways to get there if you don’t have a car, by train and by boat. We, my “lovely Hungarian family” and […]
The statues of Budapest
I walk and find them here and there, in the middle of the sidewalk, in a park, by the river. Budapest is a city full of curious statues. I encounter them, some are very pretty, I even have a favourite one. If you are thinking about the typical statue of a war hero, even though […]
My favourite unknown corners of Budapest.
I adore the city, the whole of it, but there are some places, maybe not that popular, that I fell in love with. The first one is very close to my home, the New York Cafe, a literary cafe frequently visited in the past by well known writers such as Sándor Márai. Since 1894 has […]
