Food Markets: A Festival of Smells and Colors

Mónica Boixeda Do you like travelling?, Travel Tips

La Boqueria, Barcelona (Spain) Cooks, of course, know a lot about good food. That’s why it’s not surprising that La Boqueria is a meeting spot for food professionals from all over Barcelona. One can find every imaginable ingredient there for making just about any recipe or to expand one’s menu to include the freshest and highest quality goods. But La Boqueria is not only a mecca for chefs, it’s also and above all a feast for the eyes. It’s an explosion of colors, with a large variety of stalls selling fruit, vegetables and sweets that will impress you at first sight. It’s just about impossible to resist taking an artistic-style photo to proudly post on your Facebook wall. Mercado de San Pedro, Cusco (Peru) If La Boqueria is the market of colors, the market in San Pedro is known for its smells. Exploring its aisles is difficult for those with sensitive noses. The sensations that assault your nose can be overwhelming. Oregano, fish, rosewood, cilantro, rosemary… intense aromas that accompany a very authentic experience, from women offering juices up above to a plate of typical ceviche at affordable prices down below. Dining here is an adventure that every good traveler should undertake. Borough Market, London (England) It is said to be the oldest food market in London, with over 1,000 years of history. The specialties are the gourmet food and deli, so if you’re looking to buy something get your wallet ready. If we’re talking about variety, however, there’s no doubt that this is the right place. From a wide range of beers, wines and international coffees to... read more

Beach Bars Around the World

Mónica Boixeda Do you like travelling?, Travel Tips

“Relax in the sun and eat until you burst.” These are the two commandments of summer. Around this time of year, the beach becomes like a second home to us. We are able to settle in for several hours, interrupted only by quick dips and sunscreen applications in our quest for the perfect tan. And that’s why being able to escape the sun for a while under the shade of a beach bar that offers something tasty along with some music is so appealing. There are many beaches that offer this sort of thing, and it even seems like the market is becoming increasingly competitive. Nowadays you can find everything from simple snacks to more luxurious bites just steps from the shore. Here are a few examples to whet your appetite: Chiringuito Pepe, Fuengirola Beach (Malaga) Known for its delicious fish cooked over coals, this place is a must for fans of grilled seafood. And it has views of the sea. La Plage, Playa d´en Bossa (Ibiza) Ibiza is sure to have a spot in this list, since it is so easy to find a snack bar at any of its beaches. You’ll usually find a chilled-out atmosphere with a touch of glamour that is typical of the island. In La Plage, they’ve thought of everything: white hammocks, live DJ´s, sushi, and even boats that can ferry VIP guests back and forth to their yachts. Ibiza pure. Margaritaville, Pensacola Beach (USA) As part of the hotel with the same name, it shares the same spirit. Hammocks under palm trees, live music and a schedule of endless activities, including outdoor... read more
