Reykjanes, land of fire

Reykjanes is a small peninsula in Iceland, just south of Reykjavik. It is well known because one of the main Icelandic atractions, the Blue Lagoon, is located there, as well as Keflavik airport. But Reykjanes is more than just the Blue Lagoon, it is much more! The peninsula is situated in […]

Winter ZĂĽrich

Last year, I visited ZĂĽrich for the first time. It was just before Christmas and I fell in love with this city. ZĂĽrich is small and beautiful, standing on the mouth of the Limmat river and the northern side of the ZĂĽrich lake (or ZĂĽrichsee). I think that time the city center […]

A land of colours

I’ve never been in a place like this one. Landmannalaugar is the most unusual and beautiful land I’ve ever seen. It’s located in the Icelandic Highlands, in a place so innaccesible that you can only reach it with a big 4×4 or special vehicles able to cross rivers and gravel roads […]

Trim Castle

Ireland is full of ruins of ancient buildings and constructions, some of them as old as 3200 years BC. These old ruins of burial sites, abbeys, monasteries, cemeteries and castles contribute to the air of mystery, romanticism and melancholy so typical in Ireland.
