Recommendations of the month

Welcome to the very first edition of my new blog series: Recommendations of the Month! Every month, I’ll be sharing my favorite finds, experiences, and must-do’s around the city I call home, beautiful Barcelona. From cozy cafés and hidden corners to local events, seasonal eats, and free things to do, this series is all about helping you experience the city like a local, at a relaxed pace.

Whether you live here too or you’re just passing through, I hope these monthly picks inspire you to slow down, look around, and really enjoy what Barcelona has to offer, one month at a time.

Rome 4 day Itinerary

If you’re planning a trip to Rome and wondering how to fit everything in, don’t stress. Four days is actually a great amount of time to soak in the city’s history, food, and charm without feeling rushed. Rome is packed with ancient ruins, stunning art, delicious pasta, and those little cobblestone streets that make you want to wander without a plan. But having a rough itinerary helps a lot, especially in a city where there’s so much to see.

If you’re planning a trip (or even just dreaming of one), I’d love to share some of the things that make Rome so special to me.

Daytrip to Blanes

If you’re looking to escape the buzz of Barcelona for a day, Blanes is the perfect coastal retreat. Just over an hour by train from the city, this charming seaside town marks the gateway to the Costa Brava and offers a quieter, more authentic taste of Catalonia.
