Gran Canaria – Almond Blossom Festival
When we heard that Gran Canaria holds an almond tree blossom festival we were all eyes and ears and ready to go. Have you ever seen almond trees in blossom? For the very first time I got to see almond trees was in Guadix – a little Andalusian town in the mainland Spain. We were there for work from March to May and stayed in an apartment overlooking some orchards. Back than I had no clue that the plain looking trees were actually almond trees. Until one sunny day in March the boring looking trees transformed into magnificent soft pink and white clouds. Since than we have witnessed almond trees in bloom in Provence in…

We just came back from Stockholm and are itching to share with you everything we managed to see, do, try and stumble upon within our 48 hours stay in this vibrant Swedish capital.

Fact is that everywhere we went we saw families happily walking the streets, having lunch, playing outside and engaging in all sorts of family activities. All the…
coffee break in stockholm – 10 cafes to check out
Once we stayed in an apartment in Helsinki which had a big coffeemaker, but no tea kettle. Later we learned that in Nordic countries coffee is king and many easily consume 4-5 cups a day. It’s mostly filter coffee without milk or sugar in it. With this in mind, assuming that Swedes also prefer coffee over tea we didn‘t have any doubts that there will be enough places with good coffee in Stockholm… …and our intuition didn’t fail us. Stockholm has wonderful coffeeshops and bakeries which are perfect for a coffee break also known as “fika” – a time during the day when Swedes have coffee with pastry (usually a cinnamon bun) and…

seville with kids – exploring andalusian capital in 48 hours
Once upon a time, when I was 14 years old and a quite nasty teenager at that I went to Spain with mom. Her dream was to see Granada and Seville. Mine – eating a lot of frozen juice ice-cream and complain about anything and everything (sorry, mom). The only memory I have from back then is a yellowish photo of myself with a grumpy face infront of the Columbus monument in the World’s largest Seville Cathedral. It was time to fix that memory. And as Spring is the most amazing time in Andalusia, we got our tickets fixed and flew in for a long weekend. This time I was…
