Making the most of it in Catalonia

Catalonia has it all. Let me introduce you to its treasures: beautiful coast, beaches, mountains and attractions that are not necessarily in your guide

Daily life of a young family in Spain

The perfect dream of living on the beach might not be that perfect when it comes to the real life. Here is the story of our journey of confronting the dreams with reality

Travelling away from Castellfornia

We, as a family, constantly want to see and experience more. That is why we choose to spend our money not on new car or furniture but traveling. Check it out, perhaps it will inspire you too.

Photo of the Week

Having the luck to live in a wonderful place where not only the beach is the attraction, I am posting photos from my surroundings that always have the story to tell but sometimes it is better to leave it without the comment.

The assets of Cataluna

Apart from the artworks of Gaudi, Miro or Dali the best product of Cataluna for me is ICAT FM The radio I personally love. They have a really bad website http://www.icatfm.cat/...

Magic Sagrada Familia

What is it about this church that makes you pay 12.50 EUR and stare at it, in and out for long hours. During my mother’s visit I was finally able...
