Roman pebbled streets & its secrets.
Dear nomads, remember the round castle of my last post? Yes! Castello di Saint’Angelo. Here I am, having some fruit contemplating it, in the promenade along the river, where the breeze gives me a break from the heat of the summer & little souvenir stands keep me company. I am staring at the beautiful building […]
Trastevere & Gianicolo. Rome
On a Sunday morning I had the brilliant idea to go to Trastevere from my place, crossing the park Villa Doria Pamphilij. It’s quite big, the temperature was mild, & I don’t mind walking. I followed its paths & all of a sudden I found a wall or an old aqueduct, statues, […]
An evening in Monti. Roma.
Dear nomads, we are back at the Coliseum as starting point. I’d like to mention that in its beginnings it was known as Flavio anphiteathre, honouring the family who ordered to build it. Its actual name comes from the statue of the Colosus of Nerón that never made it to our days. It is […]
Rome. Gardens, pyramids & keyholes with a surprise.
Dear nomads, I hope you are enjoying my Roman adventures. In this occasion we are crossing the very long Circo Massimo heading to the opposite side where the baths are, there we find the small & plain church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. It is a minor basilica located in the Piazza della Bocca […]
Roman Cathedral, Holy Steps & relics.
Some of you call me the “church girl”, no wonder, I must’ve seen heaps of them in Rome, don’t you think? I flooded my social media, some friends would say, “I see you’re still in Rome, I’ve seen a church on Instagram”, well brace yourselves. I already told you about two of the most important […]
Roman Baths & catacombs in Ancient Rome
Did you like the previous post? I hope you did as this time, going back to the Coliseum as starting point I’ll take you to its left, where there’s the great & magnificent Constantine Arch. The most modern of the triumphant arches, with the peculiarity that it was built with materials of plundered buildings. I […]
One of my favourite Roman spots.
Living a few months in Rome has been one of the best ideas I’ve had in the last few years. I have learnt so much that I’d like to share with you what I’ve seen & felt through my senses & of course, books. I did write a couple of post of another visit with my […]
Cruising the Thames in a sunny day in London
Nothing beats London in a sunny day. It’s fortunate being in London on a day the sun is shining where it´s usually gray, wandering its streets full of history, or in this case, its river. On a Sunday I went to visit Westminster Abbey, place where they crown their kings & queens since 1066, when […]
Naples with Frida & Marco.
I arrived to Napoli Centrale from Roma Termini. The station is opposite Piazza Garibaldi, where a smiley Marco was waiting for me. We took Corso Emmanuelle I, one of the main streets, which was already crazy with cars & scooters. Naples, like Rome, is full of churches, so we stopped at the first one! It […]
The ways to Rome take us to the Vatican.
Rome doesn’t fit in one post, so here it is another one where I start asking you, what state do we find inside this beautiful city? Yes, the Vatican, keeper of so much art which would leave anyone dazzling & fascinated. In our visit, my mom & I decided to take the bus from Termini […]
