Travelers Favorite Hotels and Rural Houses in Costa Brava


Can Massa Rural Farmhouse
In La Pera we found peace and deep relax mixed with cultural and sports activities. Everything is close from there, and the owners are the kindest people I’ve known in the area. They are very helpful giving you advice on what to do, when, where and how for the best experience. An authentic catalan farmhouse offering the best service year after year.
Can Massa is an old peasant farmer´s house formed by the main house and several stables and granaries that surround the inner courtyard. There is a porch where table-tennis, badminton and volleyball can be practised. The house has six rooms, two drawing-rooms for guests, one of which has a fireplace, music, television set and parlour games. It keeps some old tools which are part of the decoration.The house is situated between the regions of Baix Emporda and Girones, at the foot of the massif of the Gavarres and near to the beach.
All rooms have an ensuite bathroom, air conditioned, central heating, free wifi and antique refurbished furniture.
One of main attractions in Costa Brava is Dali and all his story. The house is in La Pera, 1 minute away from Pubol, where we find “Castell de Gala – Dalí”. Most of best beaches in Costa Brava are 20 minutes away. Located at the heart of Costa Brava, this house is pretty close to most interesting cities, places and restaurants. Girona is 20 minutes away by car.

Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington

A great family experience with rides for everyone. We also found a cute little hotel in nearby Clearfied called the Charin Inn that we loved. The family will hit lagoon again when we return to Utah.

Travelers favorite hotels in Madrid

NH Palacio de Tepa

This hotel is a NH chain hotel, and I’ve been in lots of them. They always offer great confort and service without exception. NH Palacio de Tepa is specially beautiful and confortable. Our stay in Madrid was much better thanks to the rest we took at the hotel. Madrid is a huge city, lots of things and places to see, lots of activities you can do and enjoy, the less you can do is sleep at a nice hotel like this. They have a nice restaurant, most rooms with balconies and best location. Plaza Mayor is a minute walking… Enjoy it!

Favorite restaurants in San Francisco

Kokkari Estiatorio

I love mediterranean cuisine and all it’s benefits. It’s hard to find good olive oil as it’s hard to find good mediterranean restaurants in USA. San Francisco has one of them, bringing the flavor directly from Europe (Greece to be more concrete) and giving customers an unforgettable gastronomic experience. Using fresh seasonal products and ingredients, you’ll be amazed by food and atmosphere. Don’t miss the lamb if you have the chance!

Travelers favorite places in Rome


Most people call Paris “the city of love”. In my opinion, Rome is much more romantic. You can bring your love or you can try to find it there, anyway, you’re going to enjoy a city where light amaze you, where history and art transport your soul and mind to another era, where gastronomy is excellent, people kind, streets full of life and piazzas beautiful.
Don’t miss The Vatican, Fontana di Trevi, St Peter’s Square, Piazza Spagna, Spanish steps, the Colisseum or Final Judgement.
I will always want to go back to Rome while I still have breath.

Travelers favorite hotels in Rome, Italy


Four River Suites Hotel

Several times I find people that just care about photos and technical things when making hotel or restaurant reservations. I must say that photos are a great way to show places, and I tend to believe what I see, but the important thing that I really care about is the service. At Four Rivers Suites you’ll get one of the best guest service I’ve ever experienced. Owner has a very interesting conversation, speaks 3 or 4 languages and communicates a lot. You can take his advice or not, but I highly recommend to do it. You’ll get the chance of experience real Rome.

Travelers favorite places in Portovenere


Portovenere is a traditional italian fishing village with beautiful houses. The view of the port with all those little boats and colorful houses is fantastic. It’s impossible to not think about the old fishermen and the lifestyle they had. Early in the mornings go to the boat, enter the mediterranean sea and find fish for you, your family and luckily some for sell.
Sun, good life, hard work, family, love, Italy, Mediterranean sea… Great memories from Portovenere and one of top places in Europe for travelers in my opinion.

Bar Tomás. Best "patatas bravas" in Barcelona


When I think about Barcelona I think about Bar Tomás. This is an authentic spanish bar, without fancy decoration or cute waitresses. Food and drink is limited to few things. Why more if you have the best beer and “patatas bravas” of the city? You’ll find mostly local people, from students to business men. Everybody loves the special sauce they use (secret formula) for the potatoes. While you eat them you’ll feel some spice in your mouth, so beer is the best way to refresh yourself.
You will not find this bar in the typical tourist guides, but once you try, you’ll need to go back.

Visit Barcelona - Traveler experience




I’ve been in Barcelona several times. It’s always exciting to come back and see the people, architecture, art, museums, bars, shops, restaurants, discos and everything this city offers. A cosmopolitan city. The light is special, the sea, mountain. Barcelona has everything you might ask to the city of your dreams.
Bar – Because of the great amount of bars you’ll find
Cel – (sky) Because here it’s specially beautiful
Ona – (wave) Because of the sea
I love to explain that interesting version of where the city name come from. I’m not going to explain all the places you can go, there are bunch. You can check the website link below for tourist info.
What I wanna share with all of you is the strong freedom and lively feeling that I have when I walk the streets of Barcelona, when sharing a beer at some hidden bar, buying some cool clothes, eating an icecream while walking at the beach or eating at some exotic restaurant in Gracia neighborhood.
Don’t miss La Sagrada Familia, Parc Güell, Gracia neighborhood (Verdi street), El Born neighborhood (Moskito Thai Restaurant), Las Ramblas, Plaza Catalunya, the beach and the port. A visit to Collserola mountain and the Tibidabo amusement park will let you see Barcelona from the air and have a great experience.
You’ll find plenty of Barcelona photos, so I’m just uploading the ones I made from the plane.
