Spoilt for Colour Choice in Burano

29 April 2010 By Vera Ciria 1 In Life outside Barcelona

Venice is surrounded by a myriad of islands that are relatively easy to visit. Jetting around in a boat is always relaxing and the results are absolutely stunning. Burano, which is an hour from Venice, is a lush mix of rainbow-coloured houses. Time slows down, there is an air of tranquility and the air is filled with the smell of clean laundry.

Sagging buildings and waterlogged wood, staggering colours and hidden bridges. Venice is truly is a city of beauty and old-world glamour. The streets breathe and whisper centuries’ old secrets.

Winding Down Buenos Aires

19 April 2010 By Vera Ciria 2 In Life outside Barcelona

El Último Beso in Palermo is my ideal of heaven, (if such a place existed). This is a teashop that opens up like a pop-up book, every corner revealing a new secret. There is a main tea room which leads to room after room of little alcoves, dining rooms, comfy corners and one of the best terraces I have ever seen. This is a mixture of quaint London, Alice in Wonderland and Narnia. Stone tables and statues jostle for space with white, wrought-iron furniture and a myriad of flowers. The desserts are scrumptious and a visit to the toilets is a definite must. Small mirrors cover one wall and about a third of the bathroom is occupied by a claw-foot bathtub, filled with water and floating roses. Absolute bliss.
