Family adventure

Taking a short flight or renting a Car? Uhhhh the adventure started in the moment Zezinho decided to find a car big enough to all of us! And attention, don’t forget that in my family people are really big!

We left our crazy house and we travelled to Spain, where my father organized lots of surprises for us. But he didn’t knew what we have also for him!

Sanabria area is located in the ZAMORA province, near the north east corner of Portugal. Puebla de Sanabria is a small typical castillian village, originally built on top of a rock around a deffensive castle, though the actual village has spread around the walls and outside the original rock.

The tiny historical center has a real medieval atmosphere with that magnificient castle where we slept and all those stone paved narrow streets, where we lets us loosed after some good glasses of wine! It was still not winter and we were freezing cold,...frizing for them, fresh for me after arriving from Germany. Even like this i need it to hear my father saying thousand times..you will get cold! (RITA...que MITO ahhh ??? sra DRa)

Sanabria is speacialy a nature's paradise, where the small houses are really well restored , maintaining their beautiful rustic charm... hummmand the smell of the flowers that fill the windows and balconies with colours...and the morning light so lighty...and the cold so cold in full sommer...hummmm!!!!The hotel on the castel, with it's small cosy corners made us resting enjoying all this landscape around us.

The hotel’s castle was full of small comfy corners, planed to give people different views above the incredible landscape around us. I liked specially the long chair loosed alone in this balcony on my room, where I let me sleeping again under the intensive and cold morning light.

But my sweet silence ended at breakfast in the moment my brother arrived with his 20ies energy. I could not believe that he was really eating a sandwich with salami, fried egg, cheese, and sweet marmelada/jamb… truly disgusting Ofer !

Walking drinking, laughing and eating , describe our holidays in short words...and surf architecture surf architecture

BILBAO... changing and changing!

It isn't anymore the city i saw the day that Gugenheim oppened.

The streets are full of people drinking eating and talking all the weekend, even at breakfast. Of course we could fit easily in this bohemian ambience

We stayed at one more of Gehry's fantasies, and my father delight. Hotel Domine... i can only remenbered my brother saying: Maria i know that you'r not my girlfriend... but i think we should....

Now when i remenber these words and the last paradise hotel where we slept also together...i Donn't want to imagine what he thought!

this bar received us always for some helpful drinks to make easily falling a sleep

Once again..congratulation Spain for the good restoration and preservation of old villages and center cities! It was amazing to feel the vitality of this old place full of people, young and a old, all mixed, enjoying some tapas and beers

"The clients, however, wanted a futuristic structure for their Ciudad del Vino – City of Wine – which comprises the winery, a museum, a spa facility, a banqueting hall and a hotel. Bringing the old and the new together harmoniously was a key challenge for the project"

And it was amazing to see how these ideas are clear there! The new building turns it's different facades for different contexts promoting a good connection between the old wine factories and the newer ones. And what one amazing context to build! A land made for wine, a small stone village where the church assume one import roll ; colorful fields of wine plants; … summer smell, wine smell! hummm
