One of my favorite places in Barcelona is la rambla del mar, particularly during sunset. During the summer of 2018, I had the opportunity to visit the city for a couple of days, after attending a wedding in Madrid. The weather was amazing and after a good walk that started in the Plaza de Catalunya I ended up in this place that is really beautiful.

I walked around the place walking by the aquarium and the parks nearby, but before I returned to the hotel, I noticed the sun was starting to go down and I was able to shoot a couple of nice pictures, including this one.

Sofia is one of the most interesting eastern European capitals. The area had human population since the year 7000 BC, so it means a lot of different cultures and religions passed through this land.

St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is one of the most remarkable ones. This Orthodox church cathedral, built in a Neo-Byzantine style, is one of the largest ones of its kind in eastern Europe.

I had the opportunity to visit Sofia in the autumn of 2016, and I really liked this city and would love to visit again.

Malta was on my list of those interesting places I always wanted to visit in Europe. This tiny island, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, has a fascinating history, having been a crossroad between Africa and Europe.

The Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Sicilians, French and British were involved in the island at a certain point, and this created a unique and distinctive place, but the legacy of the Order of Saint John, who ruled the place as a vassal state of the Kingdom of Sicily from 1530 to 1798, is clearly present in the architecture and culture of the country.

In June of 2016, I had the opportunity to visit the island, and I stayed mainly in the capital Valetta, a beautiful harbour city that preserves much of its 16th-century architectural heritage.

In September of 2016 we made a road trip with K and visited Lindau, a major town and an island on the eastern side of Lake Constance. We stayed at a hotel in the island that’s connected with the mainland by a road-traffic bridge.

The current harbour of this island was built in 1856 and the iconic lion sculpture and lighthouse mark the entrance of this port. An interesting fact is that this lighthouse is the only one in Bavaria!

I published some additional pictures of Lindau in my juanpics domain.

A couple of weeks ago I made a day trip to Poznan from Berlin. There is a train leaving from the Ostbahnhoff station and arriving in Poznan glowny 3 hours later. Once I got there, I started to walk towards the city center, and on the way, I found a place selling pizza that had an amazing margherita—yummy!

I visited the central square, and I thought it was beautiful, surrounded by old buildings, including the Renaissance Old Town Hall. There were many ice cream places, bars, and restaurants. In the information center, they recommended visiting Ostrów Tumski, an island between the two branches of the river Warta. This island was one of the main political centres in the early Polish state, and now it's possible to visit the cathedral that houses some ruins from that era in the subterranean crypt. Very interesting city.
