We just discovered a super cute place near Perpignan (La Franqui) where eating is a rare delight between the sea and the Catalan roots of the area. It's called "Le calamar en folie" and it's worth the detour both for the eyes and the taste buds!! Just have a look! Their website with the address and contacts: www.lecalamarenfolie.com 
The mojito made with their own rhum mix, made by the owner himself!
The tapas: nothing short of amazing! The aioli was just incredible!
Nous venons de découvrir un petit endroit en bord de mer où le plaisir des yeux et des papilles en vaut le détour! Ce petit bijou se trouve à La Franqui au bord de l'eau avec une vue imprenable, un accueil chaleureux et familial, entre mer et Catalogne: j'ai nomé "Le calamar en folie". Vous pourrez facilement trouver leur adresse et coordonnées sur leur site: www.lecalamarenfolie.com 
Razor clams: so yummy, fresh and healthy, I mean how can you resist?!
Ok this one was just AMAZING, get used to it, superlatives just go hand in hand with this place! This was a sheep's cheese "crème brûlée", the cheese just turns into magic with the caramel on top!
Ayer descubrimos un sitio increíble: un placer para los ojos y las papilas gustativas entre la tierra catalana y el mar.

Now this was special: it was a tomato tart! I know I also reacted like that at first! But then I just thought: let's be crazy and try or you'll never know! I did not regret the temerity of my choice it was really surprising and different but really good!
A classic but a goodie: crème catalane but this one had a twist: orange blossom and vanilla! So refreshing !

We just came back from a road trip (In a Fiat 500) through the south of Italy including Sicily! What a beautiful country!! Crazy drivers, gorgeous food and breathtaking views: we loved it all! 
This was taken from the car in a motor way! No, really! This is the view we had while driving from Messina to Taormina in Sicily!!
Nous venons de rentrer de nos vacances en Italie. Nous avons traversé le sud en voiture (dans une Fiat 500!!) et avons terminé en Sicile. C'est un pays magnifique! Nous avons vraiment eu un séjour incroyable: des conducteurs fous à la nourriture délicieuse et les paysages à couper le souple. 
Just in case you're wandering, yes this is another stunning view we had while driving down to Taormina!!
Acabamos de volver de Italia, donde recorrimos el sur incluyendo la Sicilia en coche (¡¡Una Fiat 500!!). ¡Qué pays increíble! ¡Nos quedamos encantados: desde los conductores locos a la comida deliciosa y incluyendo los paisajes maravillosos, todo nos encantó! 
Again, this is the view we had while driving on the motorway! And if you're wandering, yes we were quite impressed by it! :D
The Vesuvius Pompeii Lecce Matera Pizzo Calabro Sicily: Taormina, Catania (including the Etna) & Syracuse Just a short one: we just picked up our brand new and very first car and we are both super excited :) I hope you like it :) 
Alfa Romeo Giulietta! :D in my favorite colour!
Today I have a feathered manicure to show you! It turned out quite nice and as you may have seen on my Sephora haul post, I got the set for a steal price, so it's nice to see it turning out this nice :)  Aujourd'hui je vous ai preparé une jolie manicure plume. J'aime bien le résultat, surtout ayant acheté le coffret pendant les soldes à un prix plus que raisonnable, ça fait plaisir d'obtenir un résultat aussi sympa :)  Hoy os he preparado una manicura con plumas. Debo admitir que me gusta el resultado. Lo mejor es que el set me costo solo 6€ en rebajas :) Products / Produits / Productos OPI Nail Envy Dior Abricot base coat Ciaté Snow White Ciaté speed coat pro Ciaté feathers/plumes/plumas |
