A taste of Porto Santo Island…

Each time I reach this Island my body softens and my brain rests. Happy memories come to my mind. Friendship and love, discovery and madness, family and pleasure. It all comes back to me here. Time for reflexion… The beach is all over, covering with golden sand my feet. So soft that I prefer to lay in it and put my towel away. You can hear birds during the day and crickets during the night. The sound of the waves is like a lullaby. I fell asleep. The water is cold when you get in and warm when you get out. The shades of turquoise blue sea extend to the horizon and refects in my son’s eyes… You can hear laughs, songs and sighs of joy . The beach is long, perfect for a sunrise walk by the sea. Porto Santo tastes like figs and grapes and “bolo do caco”bread with butter for breakfast. It tastes like “lambecas”icecream and walks along the pier. Tastes like peace. Tastes like a holiday. Tastes good. For more information …

Palazzio

A certain Venice

No words or photographs can do justice to the grandiosities of Venice … Getting to St. Mark’s Square is breathtaking. Dazzles with such beauty beeing a rare case where reality surpasses the dream Worthy of princesses and queens and many tourists…but the “clicks “do not bother me or the unrestrained racing to see everything that is on the list. Venice is worth it. Through alleys and bridges, by boat or on foot, but necessarily well accompanied over de117 islands separated by 150 channels absorbing what the city gives you best. Here are some of the moments that made me lose my mind …         And when weariness tightens, the vapporetto leads us back home. The city is huge and the lights reflect in the waters of the canal. So much can be said … every monument, every square, every gondolier … but you have to see it for yourself to understand… Ciau Amore!
