One of the things that I love about Switzerland is its weather. It may sound like a weird thing to say for a Spaniard. But it is true. I love that Switzerland has four very distinct seasons, that it is cold in winter and hot in summer, and the seasons […]

Lapland V. A day with the Huskies
When I started planing this trip to Lapland, I was sure I wanted to do one special activity there. For a region where snow covers everything for most part of the year, there are so many things to do there… Cross country ski, snowshoeing, ice fishing… I can do a […]
Read MoreLapland IV. The Land of the Sami
Our first days in Lapland were a great adventure. Driving close to the Arctic circle on frozen roads, hiking and snowshoeing in forests out of a winter fairy tale… (you can see photos from these previous days here, here and here) But as the end of the trip was coming […]

Read MoreFoggy morning
The day I came back to Zurich from my Christmas holidays in Spain I was a bit disappointed. I couldn’t believe that all the beautiful snow that fell during the weeks before Christmas was gone… I was so looking forward to coming back to white landscapes… But the next day […]

One of the things I missed the most when I was in Spain these last holidays was the snow. Even if some snow flakes fell in Madrid during Christmas, they melted right away… So I was looking forward to come back to Zurich and enjoy the winter landscapes here. But […]
