Goodbye, 2014

20:27



Watching the photos of 2014 and thinking about what a brilliant year it's been. Traveling to Vienna, Reims, Poitiers, Bordeaux, Bayonne, Valencia. Launching blog La vie est un bon voyage about my move to Madrid.  I'm so grateful.
I believe that the best is still to come. Let`s all have a fresh and positive start. Happy New Year! Happy 2015!

Costa Blanca is such a beautiful place. As I grew up near the Baltic Sea, I love water very much. Hiking in the Penyal d'Ifach and walking in Benidorm's beach in the end of December was a great ending for a trip to Valencia.

While I am traveling in Spain (visiting Valencia and Costa Blanca), it is hard to believe that Christmas is already tomorow. In place of seeing photos with plenty of snow and cold, grey weather, I present you completely different ones. Sun, happiness, sea and lot of oranges,these are the key words for this great trip.

When holidays has started,the best thing to do is to travel. On Friday's afternoon I went again in a small trip to El Escorial. Look at my previous post from El Escorial Le week-end
Now it is different. Christmas spirit has arrived in this pretty city too. Next destination?To be continued...

Let it snow

13:13


Just in case you are now wondering which book to read, I have already found a perfect one. Three holiday romances by three authors such as John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle in one wintertime book "Let it snow".  Page after page there shines the magic of holidays. Three interconnected tales of love,romance and happiness will create the perfect Christmas atmosphere.

cooking

Muffins and more

21:39


My weekend was fulfilled with the joy of cooking. I tried many new wintertime recipes such as gratin dauphinois (well-known French dish), dorada (in Spanish golden fish) and gratin de choufleur avec une chapelure aux noisettes (fancy word for cauliflower gratin, isn't it?).The result was amazing and so tasty!However, as everybody in my family, I also have a sweet tooth. That's why a dessert is my favourite part of eating. My famous chocolate muffins literally were a cure for rainy and cold week-end in Madrid ;)

Hubert de Givenchy at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza

20:53


I've been to many good exhibitions but Hubert de Givenchy at Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza so far was one of the best ones I've ever seen. Dresses for celebrities such as Audrey Hepburn or Greta Garbo were breathtakingly beautiful. Hubert de Givenchy is a great and talented designer. The one who marks the 20th century and goes in haute couture history. You must see it to believe it.
