Venice and around it – some time ago!

Venice and around it – some time ago! I have discovered a few new places during the last year which I didn’t write about and one of the most wonderful trips must have been the visit to Venice and its surrounding area. Everybody knows that Venice, along with Paris, is one of the most favourite honeymoon targets . Romance is flowing through its ancient canals, hiding in little alley ways known by Casanova and whispering into ears of craftsmen while they are creating intricate colourful glass shapes. Just when you arrive to the...

Escape to Pyrenees!

Les Pyrenees I fell in love with Les Pyrenees few years ago when for the first time my parent’s friend took me hiking and rock climbing without permission. For me Les Pyrenees breathe out serenity and natural beauty of immeasurable value!  People are friendly and the food is just full of rustically rich and amazing flavours! When I was asked where I want to go from Barcelona for a weekend, Les Pyrenees was a clear answer. There was no other option for me. Food market in Vilafranca Our starting point was the tourist area of...

My new and silly beginning...

I have been away for a very long time – everybody needs at some point or another to figure out a bit more about themselves ... and I moved to an island next to Africa for 6 months!

I have received an amazing birthday cake, went up a volcano which I was scared of since 7 years old and for the first time of my...

Granada – Tapas - I’ve been there and I ate a lot!

Granada Yes, we have seen the circus three times on the way around the roundabout!  After going in circles for 1 hour + with our automatic human Hungarian map (our friend Tamas) we arrived to Granada. Granada – the place of history and food - viva Andalucía! That’s at least what I was after originally as always. We started our journey nowhere else than in tapas bars. Prawn pil-pil, small grilled sardines, patatas bravas, calamares fritos, queso y jamon! The Spanish most certainly know what goes well with their wine! And...

From Spain to the delicious Taubenkobel in Austria!

It takes about 9 hours at the airport without sleeping and three hour flight for me to eat something amazing. A real treat was awaiting me on my way home for Easter holiday - short visit to Austria and especially Taubenkobel - a Relais & Châteaux hotel with continuously awarded restaurant. I was so excited that sleep deprivation didn't exist in my world.  Taubenkobel is one of those beautiful examples showing how a restaurant even in such a small village such as Schutzen/Gebirge can work and thrive . The little boutique hotel...
