I had the chance to visit the stunning island of Tabarca, just a short ferry ride from Alicante. Although it can be reached in about 20 minutes from Santa Pola, the journey from Alicante is only about an hour and absolutely worth it.

Tabarca may be tiny, but it’s breathtakingly beautiful. The entire island is a designated marine reserve, teeming with vibrant aquatic life and surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters. One of my favorite moments was walking from the port through the quaint village streets to the end of the main road, which leads to the historic “Porta de la Trancada.”

There, I dropped my clothes and slipped on my goggles, diving into the refreshing water to explore the rich marine life just offshore. For over an hour, I swam among schools of colorful fish and even ventured to the nearby “Ilot de la Cantera” (Quarry Islet), where I found myself completely alone, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Mediterranean.

Later, I wandered through the labyrinthine alleyways of the town, eventually stumbling upon an authentic little restaurant. I treated myself to their ‘Menu del Día,’ featuring a fresh salad, crispy fried sardines and shrimp, and a traditional Valencian paella that was so delicious it kept me full for hours.

Annecy is the prefecture and largest city of the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France. It is located on the northern tip of Lake Annecy, 35 kilometers south of Geneva and last July I had the prividlege to visit this interesting place for a whole day.

The city is really very beautiful, located between the lake and the mountains. And although you can tell that the site is quite touristy, I found some empty spaces where I could really appreciate this place. Highly recommended

Located in the current french city of Lyon, Lugdunum was a very important Roman city in Roman The ruins of the ancient amphitheater and the various exhibits in the museum next to it tell the story of a vibrant Roman city, important to the empire for several centuries. The original city was located west of the confluence of the Rhône and Saône, on the Fourvière hills.

Last september I had the opportunity to visit again the city for a second time and on this occasion I was able to spend a good amount of time exploring this area which is undoubtedly one of the most interesting in Lyon.

The Victory Column is a monument created to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Danish-Prussian War. It's possible to visit this monument and climb the the stairs to get to the top of the column where you can find very interesting views of the capital city.

The 3rd of October is a national holiday when the German celebrate their "Unity Day" (Tag der Deutschen Einheit). This is normally a really good day to walk along the "Straße des 17. Juni", since it''s open only to pedestrian traffic. I did that walk last year, visited the column and shot the picture you can observe above.

Last summer I had the chance to visit again the Island of Usedom and enjoying the baltic sea staying on the Polish side of it, in Świnoujście.

I discovered the baltic sea for the first time last year on a long weekend break and I had such a good time that I was really looking forward to come back and I was able to do it again back in July.

I was able to capture this really nice sky sight, when the sunset was starting and we went to visit Stawa Młyny, a beatiful beacon that was built between 1873–1874 and has a characteristic windwill shape.
