Madrid and Barcelona have the enchantment of old cities.
Every corner your turn there’s a hidden gem. I can only compare this feeling to
my visits to my grandma’s house where I used to go through every corner of her
closet looking for nice dresses and jewelry. In a way, these old cities make me
feel like home. If you’ve never been to either one of these cities I strongly
recommend that you put more money into that piggy bank, your brain will greatly
appreciate being filled with great memories.
Ibiza, Ibiza, Ibiza……even after being there and realizing
that the whole island is not a giant club with a speaker on each corner and
loud music playing 24/7 I still feel like partying after typing her name. I
made some research before traveling, but nothing prepared me to the beauty of
this place. Yes, there are the world famous clubs and bars, but those only
correspond to maybe 2% of the area of the island, so you still have a good 98%
of gorgeous nature to explore. I didn’t go to any crazy club (forgive me, I
tried, I swear I did! I intended to even take some cool pictures with the nice
lights, but the idea of going out at 2am and partying until midday while on a
paradisiacal island doesn’t thrill me anymore) but I went to an outdoor bar
called Las Dalias where I danced to live drums while letting my inner hippie enjoy
herself. There’s a video of me dancing and jumping….I’ll share it with you
soon, it’s embarrassing of course.
The cherry on the pie was Formentera. This little island is
25 minutes away from Ibiza by ferry. By little I mean that you can drive from
the farthest end to the island to the opposite end in 45 minutes max. It has
remained a truly unexplored paradise with the right amount of small hotels and
restaurants. The beaches are beyond beautiful and exotic. There are plenty to
choose from. Say you like the busy beach with crying babies, volleyball
playing, and loud music playing in the nearby hotel, Formentera has very few
like that. Or are you the type of person that likes to take some rays au
naturel while scaring seagulls and the like? Then this is the place for you.
I will divide these pictures in Parte I (cities) and Parte II (beaches) so you don't fall asleep in front of your computer. I hope you like them and that you haven't forgotten me. I came back with great ideas so don't abandon me, just not yet.
Hasta Pronto!
