Palma, small and divine.
One of my first ever posts when I created my blog was about the city where I was born, in fact, I published it on April 2nd, my birthday. I have been updating it. I did not want to leave anything nice untold, but it was becoming a bit long, so I created this other […]
Pollensa and its Port.
It’s been a long time since I told you wonders about the corners of this beautiful island that I call home, today the map takes us north, to Pollensa. The town shelters much of Mallorcan history. I will start walking along Cecili Metel street, where there are two medieval wells, the Verger and dels Tiradors, […]
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” […]
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, […]
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 […]
Buda and Pest
When I was a little girl, I read a book where Sissy loses her memory and recovers it thanks to the waltz “The Blue Danube” yes, that tribute of the grand river that crosses Europe and the city of Budapest. In 1873 the hilly side, Buda, and the flat one, Pest, united resulting in a […]
