Mijas: Whitewashed Cobblestone Streets

Exploring villages of Southern Spain, Mijas was the first one. It’s only a 20 minute drive from Malaga airport and very much worth visiting.

Here are my recommendations for it -

Relax in the shaded, tree-lined central square packed with traditional cafes and artisan shops.

Walk down the village’s most photographed street - Calle San Sebastián, famous for its blindingly white walls contrasting with brilliant blue flower pots.

While Mijas is famous for its historic donkey taxis, most modern travel guides and animal welfare organizations strongly advise choosing walking tours or electric TukTuk tours instead.

An Ode to Christopher Columbus.

A half hour drive from Malaga, don’t skip Castillo de Colomares monument from your itinerary. Built to chronicle the life and transatlantic voyages of Christopher Columbus.

Surprisingly, it was constructed by a doctor with the help of just two local bricklayers. Took 7 years to complete and boasts intricate stone carvings throughout the complex.

Features also the smallest church in the world (1.96 sqm). Best arrive here at the first hour (10am) to avoid crowds. Each entry costs €3,50.

Just this. Nothing more. Nothing less.

We’re all stories but we need someone to narrate them to, someone to live them with and someone to witness them.

As someone once said, “Happiness is only real, when shared.”

NYC Geometry: Art is hiding in plain sight if you look up.

Most people look straight ahead when walking through Manhattan, but the real magic happens when you study the intersecting lines, sharp shadows, and perfect symmetry of the architecture.

My days walking around the city were half spent with my neck tilted upwards looking for shapes and details.

Us and the Whales.

“Be outside the Motel sharp at 9.”, that was the call the night before because we had an early ferry to catch. After grabbing a quick breakfast for takeaway, we went aboard and were greeted by the friendly crew of

What followed was an extraordinary experience. We saw dolphins at the Bay of Cape Cod which is extremely unusual as iterated by the Naturalist Sophie on the Ferry. Such a joy watching those dolphins dancing around the wake.

We also spotted a young Lion’s mane jellyfish, which is frequently nicknamed the “egg-yolk jelly”.

Then we learnt a bit about whales, their kinds, habitat, and lifestyle while moving further away from the coast and deeper into the Atlantic Ocean. These majestic creatures will absolutely leave you breathless when sighted. It was incredible to watch a mama whale teach her calf. They share one of the most remarkable and devoted bonds in the animal kingdom.

I must admit that after a few hours, I started feeling seasick so I went on the top deck to take a seat and enjoy the sights. It turned into a bit of a comedy watching people run from port to starboard and vice versa when whales were spotted and announced.

Overall, it was an experience that I’ll never forget and repeat for sure. Thank you for this.

On wheels following the Sun.

A 45-minute ferry ride from Newport brings you to Martha’s Vineyard, which is the name of an island not a vineyard. Don’t ask me why!

What followed however was getting welcomed into a BnB nested in a mini forest and greeted by the most kind old couple. Big fan of Beer, the lovely lady recommended us a local brewery.

Soon after we got ourselves some bicycles to ride around the island. Life slows down on top of these two wheels and we soaked ourselves in the island views around. Before resting our feet in a Motel, we chased the Sun one final time to see it set down on the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean.

Absolute serenity.
