Ok, we all know how much I love Mallorca, however, just like anywhere else in the world, there are places that are not my cup of tea. <b>Cala Ferrera</b> didn't impress me at all. While we were approaching this beach, my gut was telling me to turn away and go somewhere else, as if it knew that it was too crowded, too touristic, it had too much of everything that I'd rather avoid. You won't see that on the photos because I always want to focus on the good side such as few nice spots: beautiful path to the beach with lots of oleander flowers and parts of the beach surrounded with rocks that still remain unspoiled, but you almost have to step on the people to get to those particular spots that represent the true beauty of the island, the beauty that I rave about all the time. </div>

<b>Caló des Moro</b> is one of those names that you'll see on the top of any list of the best beaches in Mallorca. Well, yes, it's spectacular but we know that magic comes with a price. It's pretty much small and gets overcrowded. Besides, unless you're a resident of the island, the access is not very easy, especially on a very hot summer day. Is it worth it? Yes! In the worst case you can get to the viewpoint and enjoy some jaw-dropping views. You'll thank me later ;)</div>

Beaches like <b>Cala Mondragó</b> are the best proof that here in Europe we also have paradise spots. They are the reason why I insist so much on Mallorca. Beaches like this will satisfy both lazy and active tourists. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I definitely belong to the second group and if you're like me, you can swim, dive, go on a boat tour, walk to nearby beach of <b>S'Aramador</b> or even choose different hike routs. </div>

Highlight of the day - my little yoga session surrounded by pines, above small white boats floating in this turquoise paradise. Vitamin Sea and Vitamin D - 100% guaranteed!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>My tips:</u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Be careful with the GPS. It'll try to take you to the restricted area. We didn't have that problem 2 years ago, but this time, that wasn't the case.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. The beach belongs to the national park so the parking is not free and it's usually full. However, if you park 100 m before the parking area, you'll get plenty of free spots and you'll save both money and time. </div>

These photos were taken in a quote zone of Portocolom, one of the oldest natural harbors in Mallorca, which was allegedly the birthplace of Cristopher Columbus (?) - hence the name of the town. The rocks above the sea and lighthouse in front made everything look like a scene from a movie...</div>

Since I live in Spain, I keep going back to one island, the one that more and more feels like home away from home. I'm talking about <b>Mallorca</b> and as much as I love her little sisters, Menorca and Ibiza, a barely 30 minutes flight keeps taking us there. Mallorca feels like <i><span class="vmod">déjà</span> vu</i>, yet its energy always brings me something different and unexpected. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I'll show you a glimpse of two beaches that have nothing in common. The first one is small, narrow, hidden and surrounded with pines. These pines are the reason why its called <b>Cala Pi</b> (small coves are called <i>calas</i> and <i>pi</i> means "pine" in Catalan). We discovered it back in 2012 and since then a visit to Mallorca is never complete without it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second one is wide, long, it has a Carribean feel and it's surrounded with sand dunes. That's <b>Es Trenc</b> and it's one of the most popular beaches on the island. Despite its popularity, it remains intact, authentic and somehow wild, due to the fact that it belongs to a national park. These two beaches are relatively near by car and also the first recommendation from these Mallorca series. </div>

Today on the menu - Tossa de Mar, my favorite little town near Barcelona. Some of you already know that I'm a huge fan of local tourism and visiting this little gem of the Mediterranean is our yearly tradition. This is also my warmest recommendation if you visit this part of Spain. I wrote many times about Tossa, so this time I'll leave you with the photos. There are a lot of them! If you haven't forgotten me, thank you for being here. I'll try to recover my blogging schedule very soon.</div>

If you've been following me for a while, you probably remember <b>Mérida</b>, a Spanish city near Portugal which is dear to my heart since it's my hubby's hometown. That's where we ended our family trip that began in Lisbon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mérida was one of the most important cities of the <b>Roman Empire</b> (<b>Emerita Augusta</b> founded by <b>Augustus</b> in <b>25 BC</b>) and nowadays is the capital of autonomous community of <b>Extremadura</b>. Plenty of monuments from the Roman period are a very good reason to visit this city and southwestern Spain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The majority of the photos were taken at the <b>Roman Theatre</b>, probably the most spectacular place in the city, also know for <i>The International Festival of the Classical Theatre of Merida</i>, which I was able to enjoy a couple of summers ago. You can also see a bit of the <b>Amphitheatre, Aqueduct of Miracles</b>, fortification <b>Alcazaba</b>, <b>Roman bridge</b> over the <b>Guadiana</b> river, the <b>Temple of Diana</b> and more. Hope you like it! :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
1.<b> Lisbon</b> is the largest Portuguese city and<b> the oldest </b>European capital after Athens. It's often considered as one of the most livable cities. It's home of 2,7 millions of people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Its previous name <b>Olissipo</b> means "<i>safe harbor</i>" in Phoenician. The city was founded by the Phoenicians although a legend says that it was founded by <b>Ulysses</b> on his journey home from Troy. The <b>raven</b> is the symbol of the city.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Today is called "t<i>he city of light, the city of seven hills</i>". The top of the hills offer the <b>best views</b> of the city and the area with Santa Justa Elevator which is right in the city center. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. The typical <b>yellow trams</b> that you can see all over the city's center are originally American and they were even called "<i>americanos</i>" back in 1873. This public transport is one of the main turistic attractions in the city, especially the famous line number 28. These trams are often crowded so beware of the pickpockets, but if you're careful enough, the ride is a perfect way to experience the city's vibes that are at the same time <b>chaotic yet relaxed</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. The Vasco da Gama Bridge over the Tagus River is 17, 2 km long and it's <b>the longest bridge</b> in Europe.<br>
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. The <b>Belem</b> district (which you can see on many photos below) is home of two Seven Wonders of Portugal (remember the one from my previous post?) The first is Belem tower built in 1514 in the name of Portuguese glorious Age of Discovery. It even served as a lighthouse, a jail and telegraph post. The second one is the Jerónimos Monastery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. From 14th to 18th century Lisbon had several big earthquakes and in 1755 the most severe <b>earthquake</b> of all (9 on Richter scale) destroyed about 85% of the city and it triggered a tsunami.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. Looking for an authentic Portuguese experience? Check out the <b>Alfama</b> district (the only city's district that survived the big earthquake) and cozy restaurants. You can have a dinner and listen to the <b>fado</b>, authentic Portuguese music. It's something that I highly, highly recommend!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. If you have a sweet tooth, don't forget to try <b>pastel de nata</b>, a typical Portuguese egg tart pastry, originally created by monks of Jerónimos Monastery in 18th century. It can be easily found in bakeries and pastry shops.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10. If you're a bookworm like me, in Lisbon you can find <b>the oldest bookstore</b> in the world (1732).<br>

If I had to describe <b>Sintra</b> in one word it would be a <i>fairy tale</i>. Yes, as <i>cliché</i> as it sounds. This resort town near Lisbon made of palaces, exotic gardens, all kinds of architectural styles, surrounded by calming, kind of mystical forests is something that words cannot describe. Lord Bayron called it a "glorious garden" and Hans Christian Andersen called it "the most beautiful place in Portugal". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sintra has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember and it impressed me far more than I could imagine. This Portuguese gem must be my warmest recommendation if you find yourself in Lisbon (about 40 minutes by train). The senses get so overwhelmed only after few moments and the mind and soul can hardly process the concentrated beauty. I read somewhere that it's like a torn page from a fairy tale book and I couldn't agree more. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We spent a whole day in Sintra and managed to see 2 of the most famous places. The first stop was <b>The Pena Palace</b> - the most colorful and original palace I've ever seen, like a real life Lego structure mixed with a castle from 1001 nights. It's one of the <i>Seven Wonders of Portugal</i> (you'll see 2 more in my next post). The palace dates back to the Middle Age when it served as a chapel and later it was a royal Portuguese residence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The afternoon was reserved for <b>Quinta da Regaleira</b>, a decorative residence surrounded by mystical gardens where every detail represents ancient secret orders and mix of symbols. The hidden tunnels take you to probably the most amazing spot, to The Initiation Well which is 27 m long. It resembles an inverted tower and it has symbols of alchemy, Masonry, Dante's Divine Comedy and more. If you're a mystery/legends/history lover like me, you will adore that one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before we drove back to Lisbon, we went to nearby town of <b>Cascais</b>, a perfect place for watching the sunset at famous <b>Boca do Inferno</b> (Hell Mouth) spot. Seeing the ocean, rocks and seagulls flying into the sunset was a perfect ending for this already perfect day with our families. No material thing could ever replace that feeling and richness of the soul.</div>

If there's <span style="font-size: small;">one</span> benefit of having international families living in different cities and countries, that must be the moment when you finally manage to see each other. It's the best time ever, one of those memories that you'll cherish for a lifetime. Ulises and I already have this family tradition and that means that April is reserved for joining our familes together. This time the two of us and my parents visited my mom-in-law in Mérida, Spain and also spent few days in nearby Lisbon and the area. Today I'll show you the first day in Lisbon, a city that I've visited three times so far and one of my favorite places in the world. I love Portugal in general and having it so close to Spain, makes it a perfect excuse for visiting it every now and then. Welcome to the capital of Portugal, the city of yellow trams, 7 hills, fado music, city of contrasts and much more that I'll show you very soon. Welcome to the city of light, to the one and only - Lisbon! :) <br>

The other day I saw a documentary about pandas and there was this baby panda tumbling and playing over and over again. It was one those moments when I wondered why us adults often forget to have fun and take things less seriously? I'm wearing <a href="https://goo.gl/ldb21G" target="_blank">this panda sweatshirt</a> to remind me of that playful spirit. We should all keep it and cherish it because life doesn't have to be so serious and terrifying all the time...</div>

1. <b>Fuerteventura</b> is the second largest island of Canary Islands. Although it formally belongs to Spain, it's <b>very close to Morocco</b> and Sahara Desert. That's the main reason why most of the island is covered with sand.<br>
<br>
2. This wild beauty was formed <b>20 millions years ago</b> with volcanic eruptions that joined two islands (in the part of <b>La Pared</b> - The Wall - the big rock in the ocean that you can see on one of the photos).<br>
<br>
3. The name Fuerteventura has different meanings such as: "<b>strong winds</b>", "<b>strong fortune</b>" and "<b>great adventure</b>".<br>
<br>
4. With <b>3000 hours of sunshine</b> per year and over <b>150 beaches</b> is one of the most popular turistic destinations. You can enjoy great weather all year around. These beaches are considered <b>"European Carribean"</b>.<br>
<br>
5. Fuerteventura is a surfing and water sports paradise. It's the second most important world destination when it comes to <b>windsurf</b>. The first one is Hawaii.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
6. The first settler came from North of Africa and were called <b>Maho</b>, like a type of goatskin shoe. Speaking about the goats, there are <b>more goats than people</b> on the island and if you ask me, there are <b>even more squirrels</b> which are easily spotted even on the beach and all the places where you least expect them.<br>
<br>
7. Fuerteventura has the largest <i><b>Aloe Vera Barbadensis</b></i> plantation in Europe.<br>
<br>
8. Due to its spectacular nature and wild landscapes, Canary Islands are one of the most popular movie shooting destinations. Fuerteventura "played" the role in movies such as <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063442/" target="_blank">Planet of the Apes (1968)</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1528100/" target="_blank">Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014).</a><br>
<br>
9. <b>Travel tip:</b> there are plenty of cheap flights from major low cost
companies, especially if you come from other parts of Spain, but also
from many European cities. If you want to save some cash, avoid the high
season, such as summer and winter. If you're only interested in beach, you won't regret it, but if you're like me and always infected
by a travel bug, do rent a car and explore the island. There is so much
to see and experience.<br>
<br>
10. Shall we go to the <b>desert</b>? Join me below on this virtual trip to <b>National Park of Dunas de Corralejo</b>, one of the "must-see" places if you decide to visit the island. It's in the northern part of the island and close to the airport and the capital of Puerto del Rosario.</div>
<br>

When bright sunshine mixes with beige sand, its reflection makes the ocean looking almost like a mirage that you can see at specific points in nearby Sahara Desert. African wind makes everything wilder and dreamier and perfectly shaped waves makes you wanna be that surfer that's just put on his neoprene suit, he's grabbing the surfboard and is about to dive into the ocean. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then the day comes to its end and golden foggy light makes the volcano ground even more black. Is it the mix of black rocks of La Pared and white sand of Lagoon beach, or the salty air sprinkled with desert dust? Is it the ocean, the vast space around you, the seratonin overdose naturally running through your bloodstream? Is that feeling a mirage? It must be. It must be a mirage...</div>

During our second day in Fuerteventura, we explored different part of the island and ended up in two villages and some spectacular viewpoints. First stop was <b>Betancuria</b>, the smallest municipality of Fuerteventura and Canary islands. What used to be former capital of Fuerteventura, now is a picturesque village in the mountain area, a surprisingly green part of the island, due to the fact that the majority of landscapes is either black and volcanic or beige and sandy. It was a perfect spot for the launch break surrounded with all kinds of exotic vegetation, green hills in the horizon and the sound of the carnival that took place in the center of the village.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our day ended in <b>Ajuy</b>, a small fishermen village with black sand beach, big waves and sea caves formed by lava which we unfortunately couldn't see because of extremely strong wind. Speaking about the wind, well, it was probably the windiest day of my life and I don't like it at all haha, but it was totally worth the experience and it made the whole day a bit more adventurous :)</div>

I'm sitting on one of the volcanic rocks which number begins where the infinity ends and I'm looking this, too-good-to-be-true, turquoise shade that's disappearing in the Atlantic ocean. The calendar says winter, the temperature says summer. I'm still in my country, Spain, but much closer to Morocco and Sahara Desert. The wind is blowing in hundreds of different directions, there's just me, just us and the world. Freedom, wilderness, views and feelings that are making me so calm, like the most rewarding night sleep, yet my heart is jumping faster and faster. I don't know what's faster, my heartbeat or the wind, I just know that Picasso was right when he said - "<i>Everything you can imagine is real</i>". That's how it made me feel. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Welcome to the island which name means "<i>strong fortune</i>", "<i>strong winds</i>" and "<i>great adventure</i>". Welcome to the place where reality becomes something else, where you become someone else...</div>

Simple, sleek design and golden hardware of my <b><a href="https://www.lordtimepieces.com/products/classic-gold-ladies?variant=24205211713" target="_blank">new watch</a></b> that's matching the chain of my vintage navy bag is my go-to combo that I've been wearing on repeat. Classic gold ladies is the name of the watch, a simple name that's behind <b><a href="https://www.lordtimepieces.com/" target="_blank">Lord Timepieces</a></b> brand from London that offers the finest luxury pieces at an affordable price, including both <b><a href="https://www.lordtimepieces.com/collections/lord-for-her" target="_blank">women's watches</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.lordtimepieces.com/collections/all" target="_blank">men's watches</a></b>. They're designed for people who aspire to be great, for winners and achievers. And we all want to be that person, don't we? ;)<br>
Everytime I look at my watch, it reminds me of a simple, yet powerful mantra that's behind the brand - "<i>Master your time, master your destiny</i>". A motivating quote that makes my balancing between what must be done and what I want to do, a little bit easier.<br>
If you're interested in buying some of the watches, you can get <b>10% off</b> if you use discount code <b>TIJANA</b>.<br>

1. <b>Tarragona</b> is one of the most important cities of Catalan part of Spain and it's situated on the coast of Costa Dorada. It has the population of approximatelly 132 000 of inhabitants.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. The easiest way to access Tarragona is
<b>by train</b> from Barcelona for example (90 km). The train is very frequent, the
ticket is cheap and you need only 1 hour to get there.</div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Tarragona is famous for its <b>ancient Roman</b> heritage and it was one of the most important cities on the Iberian Peninsula. In that period its name was <i>Tarraco</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. The tallest point of the city is the <b>cathedral</b> from 12th cenutry and it was made of stones from the Roman amphitheatre.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. The seaside <b>apmhitheatre</b> is one of the symbols of the city. It's situated below the Balcony of the Mediterranean which you could see in my previous blog post (<a href="http://fashionabejita.blogspot.com.es/2017/03/tarragona-spain-balcony-of-mediterranean.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>) where I told you that if you touch the iron fence, it should bring you <b>luck</b>. The views are breathatking. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Probably the most peculiar Roman monument is the aqueduct also knows as <b>Devil's Bridge</b>. It was built in the era of emperior Augusutus. The legend says that the Devil built it after winning a bet in which a fair lady bet her soul. The aqueduct was 25 km long.<br>
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. If you visit Tarragona in August, you can't miss the festival and famous hundreds of years old tradition od <b><i>Castellers</i></b> - people who build <b>human pyramids</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. My recommendations to visit: all the Roman heritage (amphitheatre, circus, walls, etc.), Miracle Beach, Rambla Nova promenade, medieval old town and its narrow alleys, the cathedral (especially its gardens), Balcony of the Mediterranean, Paseo de las Palmeras.<br>
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. Tarragona is famous for its surroundings and blue flag beaches. It's located near very popular resort of <b>Salou</b>. From there you can easily access <b>Port Aventura</b>, one of the most famous theme parks in Europe. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10. <b>Food for thought:</b> I will remember this weekend in Tarragona not just because of the great time we had while discovering the beauty of the city, but also because of <b><u>very, very strange noise</u></b> that was coming from our hotel room. I don't have a logical explanation but it's an experience that has never happened to before despite the fact that I've stayed at numerous hotels. Did you maybe experience something similar? :D<br>
<br>
Thank you for joining me in this little virtual trip to Tarragona. Soon I'll be taking you to new destinations... :)<br>

While we're impatiently waiting for our upcoming trips for this year, we decided to make the waiting less boring and go for a quick weekend escape and visit Tarragona, only 1 hour by train from Barcelona. I've been in Tarragona a couple of times before and I always get enchanted by this Spanish beauty that feels like mini Rome looking over the Mediterranean. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What used to be <i>Tarraco</i> in ancient Roman times and one of the most important Roman settlements on the Iberian Peninsula, nowadays is a buzzing city that at the same time feels very calming. A perfect mix of ancient Roman monuments and remains, narrow colorful streets and city's position above the sea will enchant even the pickiest traveler. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I'm going to show you my favorite part, a huge open promenade above the sea, known as the <i>Balcony of the Mediterranean</i>. You can see the port of Tarragona, a beach called Miracle and Roman amphitheatre snuggled between Mediterranean greenery and vast blue horizon. An urban legends says that if you touch the iron fence, it will bring you luck. Who knows... ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Wanderer, there is no path, the path is made by walking</i>... - beautiful words of Spanish poet, Antonio Machado whom I discovered once upon a time when I was a student of Hispanistics. I have tatooed those words in my brain, the words that represent hope and freedom. They remind me that nothing is ever lost, that we have so much power in creating the lives we wanna live...</div>

I find this ruffle trend being both cool and annoying. Annoying as all the "must have trends" usually are and cool because I genuinely like it. Since always. Although pretty much the most of the fashion bloggers have a sweater like mine, apparently the streets of Barcelona haven't seen one before :p My sweater <a href="http://goo.gl/Ei8wbc" target="_blank">(HERE</a>) got so much attention, even from an old couple whose reflection I saw in a door of a bus. Attention can be good or bad, who knows? I don't really care anymore. I don't really care if someone else has it or likes it. I wear what I 100% like. Hope you do too! Don't fall for a trend just because it's trendy. It's something obvious but there are still so many people who get trapped...</div>
