Zaragosa, a windy town

Nisha — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:17:03 +0000

Today early morning (started at 5:30 AM) we headed to Barcelona airport. Saying Goodbye is always a difficult task but had to do it to my new friends who were going back to India.

After that started my ‘Me’ time…. solo travel in Spain. Took a Renfe train for Zaragosa. During the one & half hour journey the train got delayed by 2 minutes and the announcer was profusely apologizing for it. Quite unheard of it in India?

The cabs in this little town are white in color. No two colors, only white.
I found Zaragosa, a mix of old & modern. And I visited both. Such a lovely town!

Zaragosa is extremely windy, more than what I’ve ever experienced in Spain till now and that makes it cold too. It was so windy that I was unable to stand in one place steadily, let alone holding a camera. Fortunately it was bright sunny day and looking at my photos I am not complaining anymore.
More on the town later.

Tomorrow I head to another very small town.

Till then Adiós.

Hola de Ibiza!

Hello from Ibiza.

We reached here day before yesterday by a local flight from Barcelona. And I am enjoying the weather as well as the small gems of Ibiza.

Before coming here we had wonderful time in nearby places of Barcelona such as Girona, Figueres etc. The best for me was Dali’s Museum.

So you thought Ibiza is all about beaches & night life? Think again. It is as much a destination for young couples & individuals as it is for a family. I love the blue color of water and the sky.
Details will come later as I open my bag of goodies.

Tomorrow we fly back to mainland to explore a few more places. Till then Adiós.

Spain, I am coming to you!

Nisha — Sun, 12 May 2013 10:47:19 +0000

Starting tomorrow I am off to Spain again. On invitation from Tourism boards of Spain & Barcelona.

First stop is Barcelona, then to Girona, Tarragona and other neighboring places. In between we head to Ibiza.

While the team will return as scheduled, I’ll stay back for a few more days….. solo backpacking and exploring the little known gems of the country. And that is really my kind of travel … totally on my own, taking public transport, eating at little cafes or eateries, observing locals, walking through the alleys, and enjoying my solitude.

Stay tuned, a lot more coming your way. Though the schedule is very tight, I’ll try to blog on some days.
And you can always check my Facebook travel page and Twitter for latest updates, photos & little tit-bits which don’t make it here.
You can also check my album of Spain on Facebook.

Till then Adiós.

Looking thru a Tree

Nisha — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 04:26:05 +0000

I love seeing the sky. But not as we normally do. I love to see it through something, be it a glass or a mesh or a tree. It always gives me a different perspective.

Earlier also, I have captured it through the net here. And this photo was the same morning without any obstruction.

A Stupa and a tree.

Here in this picture, it looks like the tree is protecting the Stupa by surrounding it or is it that the Stupa has grown some hair.
What is your perception of this photo?
