I think I have commented this before. I do not deal well with crowds. Well, not necessarily crowds. But, when people start to push you, step over you and, even, grab certain parts of the body that are off limits, then, that is when I start to fall apart. Knowing that fact about me, you […]

8 Great Restaurants to Try in Tucson
I am not done with Tucson. Let me clarify. I am not done talking about the food scene in Tucson. Last week, I described how I ate the town on a food tour. But, let’s be honest. The tour lasted 4 hours. I was there five days. Therefore, it is easy to assume I ate […]
Eating Tucson on a Food Tour
I love when plans that pop up at the last minute work like a charm. Case in point: a food tour we did in Tucson the day after Christmas. The origins of this idea go back to December 23, a Wednesday. I was still looking for ideas on what to see and do in the […]
Mercat Central: Valencia’s Foodie Central
I was hungry when I arrived in Valencia from Madrid. It was not easy to walk from the train station to the hotel passing by dozens of restaurants buzzing with patrons. Then, it seems like everybody likes to advertise their offerings with a bigger than life poster. Again, it was not simple to walk by […]

Valencia: Old Town
Last week, I put together a post showing the modern part of Valencia, Spain’s third city. Post commenters expressed a wide range of opinions. Some of you liked the architecture of the City of Arts and Sciences but others didn’t. There were references to aliens, spaceships and, even, Star Wars. It was interesting to read […]

Valencia is well known for its delicious paellas, fragrant orange trees and relaxed coastal atmosphere. Las Fallas, the annual festival where dozens of giant cardboard and paper […]
Segovia: Aqueduct, Cathedral and Alcazar
We spent several days on Madrid because of multiple reasons. First, we wanted to absorb the capital’s atmosphere and get a good taste of it. Second, I had the desire to accommodate two day trips from the city. A good handful of beautiful and historical towns lie within close distance of Madrid. Thanks to the […]
Strolling Around Madrid Centro
