You think Spain, and-let me guess- you think paella and sangria and flamenco dresses? Oh, and a lot of parties and people taking naps 😉 But there is so much more to Spain (specifically Madrid) that you don’t hear about, that really needs to be in the spotlight. If you’re planning a trip to Madrid anytime soon, here are six foods […]
It’s been so long since I’ve done a weekend post! The weekend started Thursday, as it always does! It was nice and low key, first with some furniture shopping (FUN as it sounds) and then I went to Luis’ for my third favorite food in the entire world! Salad de la mama espanola!!! On […]
Since I only had plans for the first half of Semana Santa, I really wanted to take advantage of the open days of the second half of the week and do some exploring. I had never been to Segovia, even though it’s an easy day trip from Madrid, so I dragged Luis and we went […]
You have no idea how happy the last 24 hours have made me! Two of my very best friends flew across the ocean to come see ME (and ok, maybe to see Europe, too). Either way, I am so, so, so happy to have Shannon and Teresa here! They arrived early yesterday morning and we […]
Not the basketball kind of March Madness! Not actually mad at all….it just sounded like a good name 🙂 I don’t really have much to share in the way of photos, but I still wanted to show you all what I did this weekend so that you can see a normal weekend here when it’s […]
Last Saturday, I was sitting at home, wasting time on my computer while the day was passing me by. I wasn’t busy and thought “let me text Meghan and see what she’s doing” with a tentative plan to take a nap if she was busy. As a matter of fact, she had just sat down […]
My friend, Annie, and I wanted to try something different for dinner last week. We had Dionisos on our radar since Greek food always looks good (um, hellllooo feta cheese!), and we were in the market for some lighter fare. I had high hopes for Dionisos, since the menu was full of a variety of […]
Los Chuchis is a bar that has been on my radar for some time since it’s right in my hood! I walk past there on my way home from school and it’s always packed with eager customers and the food looks awesome. I have always loved their bright colors and clean appearance compared to the other […]
La Bicicleta Cycling Cafe and Workplace Address: Plaza de San Ildefonso, 9, 28004 Madrid Atmosphere: bright (during the day), earthy with a lot of wood, brick, etc. Busy and lively when it’s full of people. There are smaller tables and sofas to have a drink with friends and large work spaces for people using their computers. […]
As I have said before, I didn’t join the gym last year so my fitness routine was limited to going for runs or doing NTC in the park near my house or in my room. Running (or walking) around a city is my absolute favorite way to see a new city, figure out the lay […]
