One of my favorite neighborhoods in Ciutat de Palma, or Palma de Mallorca, is Santa Catalina, across the way from Paseo de Mallorca and Carrer Jaume III, one of the city’s most elegant shopping streets. The reason I like this area so much is that […]
The enormous structure is made up of twisted cable, broken tile, slapdash cement, brick and plenty of blue painted iron. It looks like a child’s sandcastle, or a lopping Lego building, with brilliant flashes of beauty. This is the cathedral that Justo Gallego has been building for over 40 years with his bare hands in […]
Finally, the autumn nip is in the air, leading me to decide that it would be a good time to organize a family meal of cocido madrileño, the cold weather dish par excellence. I had heard that Taberna de la Daniela was one of the best places specializing in cocido.
As it turns out, there are […]
The Villaitana Hotel Golf Resort presents itself as a looming oasis, overlooking the surreal city of Benidorm—skyscrapers on the beach. The only way I can describe the resort is that it’s like a Mediterranean architectural mutt. This does not mean that it is without a certain charm. The resort is made up like a small […]

His identity remains anonymous, but what lies behind the simple anecdote is that after this first visitor came more than 30 schools of wind […]
With cute, hidden rustic hotels, in a virtually undeveloped and “wild” countryside right along the beach, Tarifa is full of bohemian chic which attracts, among others, what one visitor refers to as “surfer gals and dudes” who hang out with natural tans andsporty sunglasses, to contemplate the coast. This is the ideal location to really […]
Neil is a man of many hats. After having worked in several other businesses for a number of years, he branched out on his own in 2000 and hasn’t looked back. His research into what makes a business “authentic” made him a website entrepreneur and author; his outgoing, positive can-do personality drove him to help […]
