A couple of years ago, I went to Warwick Castle for the day. I love visiting historical places and I can add Warwick Castle as one of the best places to visit. You’ll find the Peacock Gardens with their beautifully manicured lawns and resident peacocks wandering around. The Conservatory Tearoom overlooking the fountain. Then, follow …
Two years after I went to see the Van Gogh and Britain exhibition, I ventured back to the capital to attend Van Gogh – Alive! This was an exhibition like no other and certainly not one I have experienced in the past. “Prepare to transcend time and space as you accompany Van Gogh on a …
On the same day I walked from Millbank to Leicester Square, I attended the Van Gogh Exhibition at Tate Britain. Taken from the leaflet that I picked up at the gallery – This exhibition is in two parts. The first looks at Van Gogh’s experience in London, the art and literature that caught his attention …
I wrote about the wonderful Sagrada Familia last week, so this week, just take a moment to enjoy the beauty and serenity of arguably the best tourist attraction you will ever visit! Peace and love to all 🙂
Unless you have witnessed the Sagrada Familia for yourself, I would bet that you have never seen anything quite like this before. I said this about Park Guell, but the Sagrada Familia in on another (Gaudi) level! Antoni Gaudi was put in charge of designing this fabulous basilica in 1883 and it’s not finished yet! …
As a photographer, I’m always looking for the ‘not so obvious’ subjects and Park Guell had lots – I just had to keep my eyes open! Park Guell ceramic medallions on the front of the Porters Lodge . The ceramic tiles of the wall on either side of the Dragon Stairway. The ceiling decor of …
If you are a fan of Gaudi, or not, you should visit Park Guell if you go to Barcelona. It (probably) won’t be like anything you’ve seen before. A collaboration between entrepreneur, Eusebi Guell, and architect, Antoni Gaudi, saw the creation of Park Guell in 1900. Gaudi wanted Park Guell to be a private estate …
Barcelona is a fabulous city to explore. While you might be drawn to the more famous attractions – think Gaudi and La Rambla – there are plenty of other things to see. But, keep your eyes peeled, if you’re not necessarily seeking other things out, you might miss them – and that would be a …
As you enter Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic), you may wonder whether you will be able to find your way out. There are many narrow alleyways twisting this way and that, the only thing to do is just wander! As you walk, make sure you look all around you and upwards in case you miss …
As you explore the wonderful city of Barcelona, no doubt you will have heard of Parc de la Ciutadella or Citadel Park. If not, you are sure to stumble across it as you wander. As I was en route back to my hotel after a long day sightseeing, I only skirted the outskirts of this …
I headed off to Barcelona just in time! It was February 2020 and there was talk of a virus. I wasn’t sure whether I should cancel but, in the end, I decided to go – and I was happy I did! I (we) didn’t know then, that travelling would be banned in the coming months! …
