Last few days in Spain were intense and passed by like a flash. There was a lot we wanted to do and tons of places we wanted to visit but we had to decide how to end  our trip for now. We left Sevilla on Saturday with the intention of stopping by a couple of […]

I am sitting on my bed hearing the sound of the rain falling, the same rain that made me come back to the hostel and  finally find the time to write about our days in this lovely Andalusian city. We arrived last Monday fresh and rested from the Alpujarra. The first impression of the city […]

In the last few days I have been following the visit of the Pope Benedict XVI to Cuba. The island is in the news again so that keeps almost every Cuban abroad busy with any updates. I even know a couple of Cubans who are visiting their families in Havana during this time and were […]

Being in the Sierra Nevada does good to your soul. I actually enjoyed visiting the mountains almost as much as I enjoy being close to the ocean and that is a lot to say. 🙂 Although I love nature I always preferred to be closer to the sea. Growing up, there was no summer in […]

We rented a car in Granada for a week and planned to spend the first couple of days in the Alpujarras. We are currently in a lovely rural house very close to Órgiva. I have a perfect view of orange and olive trees by the house and Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance. Only a […]

I have spent three marvellous days in Granada. Although the temperatures have dropped (normal for the month of March, I suppose) the sun has been out shinning. Our hostel was located in a very tranquil but centric street, two minutes away from Bib -Rambla Plaza and the Cathedral. The city of Granada is small and […]

De negras sombras pavoroso manto lúgubre envuelto el ancho firmamento: cruje la ceiba al sacudirla el viento, rimbomba el trueno con horrendo espanto. Gime la humanidad y todo cuanto respira ¡ay triste! en tan fatal momento. Romperse quiere con fragor violento el Orbe todo, ante fracaso tanto. Yo entonces solo, con incierta huella, busco la […]

I will be coming back to Cordoba city. I know that very well. Another city to come back to with a group of friends or family. I woke up early to pack my few belongings and to walk to the bus station but I did not leave the hostel without having my breakfast at the […]

We finally found a place with free tapas with our drink! I slowly started losing my hope but this morning we had to go to the bus station, which is outside the old part of town, to buy our ticket to Granada and on our way back we found El Huevo Restaurant Bar, with a […]

The receptionist at the hostel advised us to go to the mosque in the morning and before 10 am, while the mass is going on, to have a free entrance and a quiet time seeing the whole construction and the central plaza. The advice was definitely a good one. First thing in the morning we […]
