I MOVED TO PORTO
i moved to porto back in june. now, all our stuff is here. and i’m looking forward to discovering the city and the country. eat the sardinhas grelhadas and drink their wine. i’ll also try to better my portuguese. which is rather basic right about now. i’ll get a local library card asap and start...
LAST DAY IN BARCELONA
last day in barcelona was spent mostly in my head while walking around. i started the day by having breakfast on the roof of caixa forum. and then i went up the montjuic. i went to visited the jardi botanic historic. just so you know, expect less exquisite flowers and more forest-like scenery. also, it’s...
BACK IN BARCELONA
back in barcelona is a set of pictures from the first two days of my short stay in town. i went to bcn for a few days to see friends and reconnect with one of my favourite cities. my to-do list included what are generally considered secondary attractions. but i was there a few time before, so i...
ONE DAY IN TARRAGONA
one day in tarragona was a great last minute idea! in theory, i was going to barcelona for 4 days. in practice, my bf was nice and helped me change my ticket so that i could spend some time in tarragona. i woke up in the morning and hopped in the train. i knew the tracks...
BACK IN BILBAO
back in bilbao is the bits and pieces we managed to steal of the city during this extended weekend. we were in town 5 years ago so this time it was more about walking around and discovering all the nooks and crannies and less about the guggenheim – which incidentally celebrates 20 years of existence...
BASQUE COUNTRY THE INLAND
basque country the inland is the second day we spent pin-balling around the basque country in a rented car. and yes, the title is a bit misleading, since we finally made it to the coast this time as well. our first stop was in durango. it was a saturday so you have a few pics...
BASQUE COUNTRY THE COAST
basque country the coast was another great surprise. we had decided upon a chilled city break in bilbao. but my boyfriend made a midnight spur-of-the-moment decision to rent a car. so he drove 400 kilometers in the following 2 days. but we were so not sorry: the basque country is un-fucking-believably beautiful! san juan de gaztelugatxe was...
ONE DAY IN SANTANDER
one day in santander was the result of a lucky booking accident. santander was the only available flight destination in the area on the day we needed so we booked it. afterwards, we decided to check it out since we were going to have a couple of days in bilbao, which we had seen anyway....
WEEKEND IN MADRID PART 2
weekend in madrid part 2 is the rest of my pics from our madrileno city break. we were still in malasana, walking around and enjoying the chilled saturday early evening. did i mention that nobody was left indoors? i lolled. back on gran via on our very winding way home. it was winding because we were...
WEEKEND IN MADRID PART 1
weekend in madrid part 1 is the first half of the selection of pics i’ve taken recently. it was my third time in the city so i thought it was time to try and keep away from the tourist hot spots. but well, since our airbnb was very central, avoiding the very crowded areas was...
VALENCIA PART 3
valencia part 3 is the last set of pictures from my winter holiday stay. i noticed i took a lot of pictures of the sky, which is unusual for me. but i just liked how all the buildings looked on the blue background. can you spot the conservatory? yes, it’s the narrow building in the corner....
VALENCIA PART 2
valencia part 2 is what happened next under the valencia sun during my stay. this was the first time i attempted to take some real pictures of the ciudad de las artes y de las ciencias. bluebell coffee roasters is a very cute hipster place. it’s on the way to the harbour, so a bit off the...
