This summer after countless invitations by a young Akbuk activist Duygu Aktas, I finally managed to take some time out and visit this hidden gem on Turkeys Agean coast. Despite being dangerously close to summer tourist trap destinations like Bodrum, Didim, Kuşadası, and Izmir, Akbük hasn’t reached the same levels of exploitation. On arriving It [...]

When the Coastal Act did not exist (not even been thought) there were built many aberrations to good taste and respect for Nature. Also there were exceptions, of course, such as the example I want to show you: Rozés House, built over rocky terrain at the Cap de Creus 1961 by José Antonio Coderch. The [...]

It’s known as ephemeral architecture the one that provides a specific solution for a quick construction of reduced time period. In 1971, during the Congress of ICSID (International Council of Societies of Industrial Design), Carlos Ferrater and Jose Miguel de Prada Poole designed this inflatable maze to house members of the Congress who could not [...]

Patrón Lunares opens its doors at Palma de Mallorca. The old Montepío of the Arrabal, a corner of memory linked to the fishing district of Santa Catalina, hosts a unique and new concept of the traditional cantina. Origin Patrón Lunares is tribute to Santa Catalina, to its fishermen and sailors that for centuries sailed the [...]

More and more people in Athens are choosing to cycle rather than drive. Which is funny for a town that barely has any cycle lanes.  Almost everyone I know who bikes has at some point either been injured or has narrowly escaped death as a result of the traffic.

It’s a pity that few people know the history of this place, as it seems to us that is fascinating. Most believe it is a town with many years of history and part of [...]

Democracy, mathematics and philosophy are all great concepts. Well done to us for inventing them. However, whenever people talk about the achievements of the greeks, there’s always one thing missing: Souvlaki. Marinated and chargrilled pork,lamb or chicken, stuffed in a fresh pitta, and then in my mouth. In fact, I’m pretty certain the real reason that [...]

It is unusual for the temperature to get below five degrees in a Turkish winter by the sea. But in the interior areas, things are somewhat different. It’s not the Mediterranean Siberia, but is easy to get below zero and therefore families prepare thoroughly for the cold months, which is shocking after enjoying a long [...]

Just in Istria it was collected between five and ten tons of white truffles, based on how humid the summer has been at the Croatian peninsula, famous for having one of the best examples of a food with aphrodisiac properties. The Istrian gastronomy couldn´t be understood without this delicacy on which turns much of the [...]

Put on the water suit and boots, and ready the ship for heavy winds, but without the cold. Rain showers at night or under the amazing rainbow, but without being cold. Strong emotions that well managed make us better sailors than if we sailed alone on summer, and all that without a bit of cold. [...]
