Oceanário de Lisboa

Located on the exhibition ground of last century’s World Fair is this massive and beautiful Oceanarium in Lisbon. The Oceanarium itself resembles a docked oil rig from the outside, but on the inside it is very rich with life from the under water. The Lisbon Oceanarium has a large collection of marine species — birds, [...]

Lisbon

Definitely one of the most impressive cities in Europe with its charming alleys, huge squares and friendly people. Lisbon is a hidden gem on the very western end of Europe overlooking the river Tagus on a very hilly site.  There is an earlier album of this beautiful city which can be found right here with more info [...]

A beautiful mountainous region dotted by royal gems and palaces including the Pena National Palace which, among other castles and palaces, allowed for Sintra to be classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Romantic architecture and beautiful landscapes make Sintra one of the [...]

Bioparc Valencia

Bioparc Valencia must be one of the coolest places I have been to in a long time. It is a zoo like none you have ever been to before. Everything seems to be very well thought of and planned to maximise the enjoyment for everybody, most importantly for the animals there. Ever wanted to see [...]

Belém

Santa Maria de Belém or simply Belém is just at the mouth of the Tagus in Lisbon where all Portuguese discoverers set sail from. Vasco da Gama set sail from here before to open the sea route to India. There are two grand monuments Mosteiro dos Jerónimos (Jerónimos Monastery) and the Torre de Belém (Belém Tower) built in a [...]

Lisboa

When I first decided to fly over to Lisbon, I had the impression that it might be one of those cities that I would be bored with after the first day. After landing, I saw a lot of people waiting for their loved ones to come out of the luggage hall. It gave me this [...]

Casa Batlló & More

Visiting Barcelona day after day keeps bringing up hidden surprises. There is so much to see that you just can’t possibly cover in just one trip. On a recent trip, among all the other places I have been through in Barcelona, I took some courage into standing in the queue for Casa Batlló. This fine [...]

Font màgica de Montjuïc

A performance of  Font màgica de Montjuïc (The Magic Fountain of Montjuic) in Barcelona, Spain. It is indeed such a beautiful show that captures the heart. This is my tenth time seeing this and decided to capture this video to share it with you. I think the only words left to be said in the presence [...]

Tablao Flamenco Cordobes

One of the things I enjoy in life is a good live performance. Flamenco shows have been very good entertainment over the last few years for me and this show I attended in Barcelona lately is by far the best I have seen yet. I took a couple of video clips and will leave you [...]
