We love Paris because it has lots of charming stories entwined around it, because it’s romantic, because it’s home of Disneyland, Tour Eiffel, Champs Elysees, Le Louvre, Notre Dame de Paris, Versailles, because it has been always beautifully pictured in the movies we’ve seen or the books we’ve read, but most of us love Paris because we already have an infix picture, an image about how it supposes to be. The Usual Paris Syndrome My first trip to Paris was a very short one, as I was on my way home from an amazing 3 weeks Eurotrip. Fatigued and with no money, I went to see “The city of lights”.

The serene atmosphere on the island, the greenery, the pristine beaches the culture and the history make from Menorca one of the best destinations in Spain for families, nature enthusiasts and travelers in search of an oasis to relax.

It’s almost impossible to emulate the gastronomical variety of Spain.

Spain is famous for many things such as flamenco, football, its beautiful coastlines, the long lazy sunny days, the excellent nightlife, the usual siestas, the locals’ incredible long names, the islands and the fact that Spanish language is one of the most widely spoken language on Earth after Mandarin Chinese, but this vibrant area of Iberian Peninsula is also very well-known for its delicious food. Far from being one of healthiest or the most elegant fares, the Spanish cuisine has its own charm, surprising tourists through color, diversity and an...
