Learning italian in Rome.
February 2024, I have put a plan in motion, in September I am going to Rome for three months to learn as much Italian as I can. I book the apartment, that I already know, in Baldo degli Ubaldi, and now I just have to start preparing for the arrival of a new language in […]
New York corners.
How long has it been since I wrote to you about my New York strolls? A while, hasn’t it?. I don’t go as often as I used to, but I still find new corners. Shall l show them to you? I get up early, jetlag helps. I have to meet Juana at Bryant Park at […]
Winter Sydney.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a long time you’ll know that I’m in love with Australia and Sydney is one of my places in the world that I used to visit in summer. This time I’ll take you for a walk through a more wintry Sydney, do you think? I’ll start with one […]
St. Albans. England.
The sun came out and Alfredo, my Argentinian friend, and I are going to see a little town that we know nothing about and it’s going to give us a very satisfactory surprise. Saint Alban was the first English saint, and this small town that bears his name is north of London. We arrive by […]
Viña del Mar. Chile.
It’s winter in Santiago de Chile, I’m going for a walk to clear my head from the flight. I head to the river and walk through the beautiful neighbourhood that takes me to the Cerro de San Cristóbal cable car and I decide to take it to Cumbre. I am still impressed by the setting […]
Kensington, Notting Hill, London.
South Kensington is a rather exclusive neighborhood of London, I’m not going to talk to you about any mansions, but the thinnest house in the city, they call it Thin House. Next to the Kesington tube station there are several cute places to have tea such as Molly Rose Bakery, the Hummingbird pastry shop, or […]
Westminster, Chelsea, South Kensington. London.
Today I start my getaway to London by going to have tea at The English Rose Café and Tea shop, beautiful, tasty and affordable. It is very close to Buckingham Palace, the king’s residence. St James Park is beautiful in autumn, painted in gold, and so green in summer, I cross it to Whitehall where […]
Bloomsbury, Camden Town, Highgate. London.
London oozes literature and Bloomsbury is the literary district par excellence, our admired Virginia Woolf lived here in what is now the Tavistock Hotel. The Bloomsbury literary group was born here at the beginning of the twentieth century, made up of writers and philosophers. In front of it I find the Tavistock park with her […]
Mayfair, Marylebone, Fitzrovia. London.
Today I start in Mayfair, the neighborhood where the Bridgertons live, again with a pub, Mr Frogg, it seems decorated for the series as it looks so beautiful, colorful and full of flowers. Next to it is the cute Avery Row, with lovely shops and cafes. It was in Richard Green’s building where Lord Nelson […]
From Soho to Covent Garden. London
Near SOHO, the Chaclan pub has been serving drinks since 1898, the Argyll Arms has beautiful ceilings and interior. It is not unusual to start a post about London talking about pubs. I don’t drink beer, but I can’t resist entering all the ones I find in my walks, which are many. I also don’t […]
