San Sebastian is known as one of the most beautiful and sophisticated cities in Spain. It’s well deserved fame! Just look at these shots 🧡

In the XIX century it became a favorite vacation spot for the royal family, a little later for the Spanish and European aristocracy as well.

Nothing unusual, just a truffle festival in France 🇫🇷

It starts with a hunt... imagine: you are in a forest, surrounded by trees, with an experienced hunter and his faithful friend - a truffle-seeking dog. There are real treasures hidden underground - white truffles and the rarest and most expensive - black truffles.

An unusual fact: it is customary to use females on a pig truffle hunt. This is because the smell of these mushrooms is similar to the pheromones emitted by males.

Do you know why nowadays it is mostly dogs that hunt for truffles, not pigs?

The problem is to get the animal away in time, or there’s nothing left to collect. Dogs are easier to train.

At the festival you will enjoy a variety of truffle dishes, from classic pastas to sumptuous desserts.

Our tour of the und France starts very soon! Get ready for a magical immersion into the world of truffle hunting🧡

Enjoy highlights from our bespoke tour in Scotland!

Autumn is our favorite time to visit Scotland. It is when vibrant colors cover its mountains and hills. Another advantage to visit it during autumn months is fewer tourists, which means you can see the country as it is in everyday life.

We have just come back from our tour to iconic places and mysterious castles of the country. This was a beautiful escape from boring reality into the world of brave highlanders, romantic stories, victories and dramas.

Thanks to our guests for such a sincere tour, courage and love for adventure.

The next tour to Scotland will be next spring. Stay tuned!

The Royal Museum of Fine Arts opens in Antwerp, Belgium after 11 years of renovation!!!

KMSKA is the largest museum in Flanders, with a collection of all the important names for seven centuries of Belgian art, from Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden to Rubens and van Dyck. The museum was completely closed to the public for ten years!

Today's collection has 8,400 items - so many works can't be displayed in the renovated building at the same time. Therefore, after a careful selection only 600 items will be on display in the new gallery. Works that will not be displayed will be shown in a digital catalogue on the website.

The museum has been completely transformed and a grandiose opening celebration will take place on 24th September!

We are ready to organize individual tours to the museums and around the world for our guests!

We are for conscious travel, for unique points in the itinerary, for a special approach and immersion in the history of everyone! Would you like to visit the Museum of Fine Arts with us?

Secret tip: Where to go in Turkey? - Meet the sunrise at Mount Nemrut.

To discover the real Turkey, you need to travel to the east of the country. There you will surely meet the sunrise at Mount Nemrut, near the epic tomb of the king of ancient Commagene.

🟧 What is the tomb?
It is a sanctuary atop Mount Nemrut, over 2,000 metres above sea level. The giant 150-metre high mound of fine stone is surrounded by terraces decorated with statues of ancestors, gods and animals. The ancient architectural monuments are even listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

🟧 When to go to Nemrut?
From May to September, because it rains in autumn, and in winter the peak can be covered with snow.

🟧 What will you see?
Until dawn, you can wander around the mound in peace and take lots of cool photos. When dawn comes, the lighting will change and the statues with their views will look brand new. Everyone gathers on the eastern terrace to watch the sunrise. After the sun has risen, it's time to head for the western terrace, where the epic statue heads are located and the valley is covered in the giant shadow of the mountain.

Save and like 🧡 if you'd like to visit Mount Nemrut with us.

Do you have to pay for love? An affair between Vassilii Kandinsky and Gabrielle Münter that ended in a major scandal:

🟠 To the uninitiated viewer, Vassilii Kandinsky's paintings seem like a chaos of coloured spots and lines placed on the canvas. However, he is a great creator, the founder of abstractionism.

🟠 The meeting between Kandinsky and the German painter Gabriele Münter took place in the art class of the art school in Munich where Wassily was the teacher. A relationship of trust developed between them which grew into a love affair.

🟠 It reached a pint of an alliance of like-minded people supporting and helping each other. For Kandinsky it was a period of flourishing, for Gabrielle it was a period of becoming. He always acknowledged her great talent and contributed wholeheartedly to its development.

🟠 As a result of the First World War, the artists were forced to part ways and then even to take the dispute for their property and paintings to court. This was a scandal and the end!

🟠 However, in February 1957 a world sensation happened! The 80 year old Gabriele Münter donated to the city of Munich ninety oil paintings, over three hundred watercolours and an equal number of lithographs by Kandinsky.

🟠 We must pay tribute to this courageous woman who, at the cost of her life, managed to preserve the priceless legacy of the great artist, family happiness with which she did not work out.

Jackson Po***ck and Lee Krasner: love that gave the world geniuses

🔸One day, a girl showed up at Jackson Po***ck's studio without warning saying "I know all the abstract artists in New York, except for you!". It was Lee Krasner, an artist from a Russian-Jewish family who had once moved from Ukraine to America. Three years later, Jackson and Lee got married.

🔸 As an artist, Lee understood Jackson's passion for art like no other. For her husband, she became a true friend and support, promoted him and believed in his talent. Her own career was not so successful, because Jackson's success was in the first place: "He can give art much more than i can!".

🔸 After starting a relationship with Lee, things went uphill for Jackson: it was largely thanks to her that he signed a contract with the famous art collector Peggy Guggenheim. Throughout his later career, Jackson collaborated with Peggy, who promoted the work of Po***ck and other famous abstract artists.

🔸 Lee Krasner began to live her own life only after the death of Jackson. She returned to painting and created her best works - in the same barn where her husband once invented the author's technique.

🔸 It was love that gave the art of a talented artist and filled Lee's work with new colors. And even if such love cannot be called happy for many reasons, nevertheless, it has become a landmark for two geniuses, the existence of which the whole world now knows.
