Exploring the hidden gem of modernism, the origin of Gaudí in the North of Spain 🌻

El Capricho de Gaudí in Comillas, is a true masterpiece and one of Gaudí’s few works outside of Catalonia! This whimsical house, with its colorful ceramic tiles, sunflower motifs, and signature organic forms, feels like stepping into a movie.

Built in 1885 as a summer house, it’s a stunning example of Gaudí’s imagination, blending nature with architecture in a way only he could envision. It is a building full of personality and distinguished style. It mixes an oriental style inspired on the buildings that can be found in countries such as India, Persia and Japan, with an Islamic- Hispanic style, especially Mudejar. It even has a medieval touch. All those styles are perfectly combined, showing the progressive maturity Gaudi experienced.

Every detail tells a story, and each room brings you deeper into his genius. Comillas, you’re full of surprises!

This enchanting city, with its rich history and stunning architecture, feels like stepping into a fairytale! 🌸

From the breathtaking views of the Mezquita to charming plazas in the heart of the old town, Inma experienced Córdoba’s lifestyle. With our expert guides, she wandered through the labyrinthine streets of the historic Jewish Quarter, enjoyed delicious tapas in vibrant local markets, and soaked in the beauty of the famous patios.

Every corner of Córdoba revealed something special—whether it was the mesmerizing sounds of flamenco in the squares or the serene beauty of the Roman Bridge at sunset 🌅

Experiencing flamenco in Spain is like stepping into the soul of the country itself! 💃✨

Every movement, guitar strum, and clap carries centuries of history, emotion, and passion. Born in the heart of Andalusia, flamenco is more than just a dance—it’s an expression of life’s joys, sorrows, and fiery spirit.

Watching a performance live, with the dancer’s intense footwork, the singer’s deep, soulful voice, and the guitar’s haunting melodies, transports you to another world.

Available from Madrid to Sevilla, you can add dining to the experience, from local food to a Michelin star menu.

It’s a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage and pride of Spain. Ole to the art of flamenco!🔥

Dining at Esperit Roca in Girona is an unforgettable journey through the culinary world of the Roca brothers, the world-renowned chefs! 🍽️✨

Not only have they won three Michelin stars with El Celler de Can Roca, they’ve found the time to open a bunch of other projects over the years. This summer was the launch of their biggest project yet; a new countryside hotel and restaurant located just north of Girona on the site of an old 19th century fortress on top of Sant Julià de Ramis Castle.

Here there’s a 15 bedroom hotel, an exhibition space, a distillery, and a brand new restaurant, which beautifully combines the art of gastronomy with a deep respect for local ingredients and Catalan traditions. Each dish is a masterpiece, showcasing innovative techniques and vibrant flavors that celebrate the essence of the region.

From exquisite tasting menus to thoughtfully crafted wine pairings, every experience here invites you to savor each moment. The ambiance is equally stunning, with a design that reflects the passion and creativity of the Roca family. This culinary gem is an absolute must-visit and its only one hour and a half away from Barcelona.

Cheers to good food and the magic of Esperit Roca! 🍷💛

A week after the tragedy in Valencia, we wanted to look at it’s beauty and mention a few of the many many reasons to go, and to come back.

From the wold-renowned architecture of the City of Arts and Sciences to the vibrant colors of the Central Market, every corner tells a story. The golden sands of Malvarrosa Beach, the peaceful Turia Gardens, and the breathtaking frescoes of the Church of San Nicolás are some of its unforgettable highlights. And of course, tasting authentic paella is a must!
