One of many houses I shot in 2021. But this one had absolutely beautiful views and such quiet, calm feeling of serenity and peace, which i tried to pass through the photos.. And mount Teide of course! Breathtaking.  

Hey guys! Happy Christmas & New year to you all from sunny and warm Tenerife =) 

It's been a while since my last post here, and, ideally, it must've been a wrap-up post of my 2021 but these photos were taken just a few hours ago this afternoon, and I'm feeling like the 'now_here' is more important than looking back into the past... I will definitely share some great (and maybe not so great..) moments of the last year with you here, but for now just look at these three furry souls that make my (and Edu's hopefully!) life so much better... They are my friends & my family; they see and understand much more that we think they do, and without them life wouldn't be the same! I know I might sound like an old cat-woman but these three are now just same inseparable from me like my human family. Each of them has his own character and way to be, each one of them has found us differently, has interesting story of where they come from, but each of them is loved to pieces and treated as a real family member.

I therefore hope and wish you not to be/feel lonely, and to treat all (!) animals with the same unconditional love as they treat us, no matter if it's a cat, dog, pig or a rabbit, - they all need love and care and attention. Just as we, humans, all do, too xxxxx

Hey guys!! sorry I know I was supposed to post about Barcelona but decided to stir it up a little with some work here, not only holidays & travelling hehe... So shot this house a while ago for Asten Realty & Fotopisos (link with details HERE); a house that could be suitable for some real princes or princesses as it looks half like a castle, half like a doll-house =) Will share with you some more from work soon! Stay safe and healthy.

Hello and good afternoon :) Hope you guys are doing well! Posting here the second part of our trip to Balearic islands, here's a bit more of Ibiza (literally the last two days) and beautiful Formentera island. Btw, there will also be a little part of Bermuda, particularly the unique pink sand that we found in Formentera... makes me miss Bermuda even more!.. <3

My sad face when leaving Ibiza, and Dalt Vila from the ferry on the way to Formentera

So we decided to stay nearby, listen to the music and check out another sunset that Balearic islands have in abundance and that are so sparse in our home in Tenerife :)

Next morning selfie with scratched arm from Atlantis (see previous post); beach time; and fantastic lunch we had at a beach restaurant =)

After that little nostalgic moment we walked back to our scooter and drove to the Barbaria lighthouse (El faro de Cap de Barbaria), 'Modern beacon at the [southern] tip of an isolated bluff, known for its panoramic sunset views.' (source here). It was nice to walk there and back, we saw yet another gorgeous sunset, Edu took some great photos with his film camera, but then my lower back started to hurt so badly that I thought we'll never make it to the hotel!.. I guess my accident at Atlantis pools was making itself known...

Next morning we went to the town for breakfast and a little paseo. I was falling in love with Formentera for its cute little streets, fresh coffee and croissants smell, nice morning sea breeze, small town busy life and the proximity to water from any part of the island, - everything kept reminding me of Bermuda... I was happy to remember how to drive one of those scooters as well hehe, took me a few hours though, poor Edu)))

Then we went to the beach where spent practically the rest of the day (G-d how I love vacations..!)), and I posed for Edu a little bit when the sun was setting down... 

And although it was very sad leaving Balearic, we knew we're going to be in Barcelona for two more days, meeting with friends and having good laughs and walks with them, eating delicious food and enjoying overall, so that thought helped not to be too sad about Formentera. Besides, we'll be back anyway I know it, and there's so much more to discover (for me) as I have never been either to Menorca or Mallorca, and they're definitely on the list!!. But for now, bye-bye Formentera & Ibiza, and Helloooo Barcelona (in my next post) ! 

Lots of love as always xxx

Hey guys!! Hope you are all healthy and doing well (this phrase is becoming a tradition lately..). I've finally found the time and inspiration to post our Ibiza photos. We went back in June-July through Barcelona where we'd stayed for two more days after Ibiza and Formentera islands. Here's a small diary from that trip, starting from a silly, happy selfie (of course..!) on the plane to Barcelona from Tenerife :)

The place must look really nice and more inviting when it's sunny I'm sure, but on that particular day we were just not too impressed :) Apparently you can also drive there by a car but it looked like it was only-residents allowed.. 

Ok coming back to the airport-test-check drama.. We took test each of us in Tenerife before flying to Barcelona/ Baleares; both negative; I 'saved' it (as I thought) in my Files folder in iPhone, and forgot about it. Also threw away the little piece of paper from the hospital where they give you a unique number to check results online.. So imagine we're at Ibiza airport after Tenerife-Barcelona-Ibiza flights, received our luggage, filled out ridiculous and needless (imo) forms that everyone is obliged to do, came out and when we were supposed to show those forms where we indicated that Yes, we have negative Covid test results etc, I can not find mine!!! Went through ALL possible folders on my phone (trust me, nothing was left unchecked including some weird, semi-hidden folders that I didn't even know existed lol), - the file was gone. And I didn't take a screenshot. And the piece of paper to go online and check results was in a trash bin back in Tenerife.. So long story short, after long time of swearing and sweating they gave us an email address where to send negative test results, and the next morning I just called the hospital and successfully retrieved the data... but I think this little issue gave me some grey hair for sure hehehe

Next day we decided to go to the old fortified town in the capital of Ibiza and check Dalt Villa, which was a good idea in the end as the weather was perfect for that.

Then we came back to the North, had fantastic dinner at Thai restaurant and went to the hotel practically exhausted... which is a good thing as helps you to sleep even better!! ;)

The next morning our plan was to go visit another 'mindblowing' (as per Edu's brother words) place called Atlantis natural pools, which turned out to be fun but a bit disastrous... But first breakfast & coffee at a hotel and one nice pic of me before I looked like I came back from a war...))

The place is hard-to-get-to, hard-to-park, hard-to-walk, and in general I should've listened to my tiny voice of subconsciousness right from the beginning... You need to drive a few km's by car/ scooter then to park (only possible in the morning hours), to walk on flat for like 1-2km's - which is the nicest part perhaps!! - then to almost climb down some very steep natural steps with lots of rolling little stones that make each step even harder and more dangerous (elderly & unfit people should stay away from it I think); then you start walking on sand dunes which is also fun / dangerous as it's steep downhill; then when you're finally there, you need to figure out how the f...k you'll access the pools, so even more few steps, no less dangerous at all!.. And, when you're FINALLY there, you hardly find a free spot as it's almost always busy with crowds of crazy youngsters. No shade at all provided either btw. What a delight eh!?.

So anyways, as you can see I'm a bad swimmer and also not a wise person as it happened to me already a few times before (well, similar thing anyway, with the sea and waves..) but I thought I'm brave and all, so I can do it. The pool on the above picture is connected with the sea that was quite rough on that day; I was slowly coming down aka sliding on my back and ass when a few strong and big (no exaggeration!) waves started to come and just washed me down like a small ant against a garden hose with full water pressure on!!)) Thanks to Edu who dragged me out of it back to that black rocky wall, I was not paralized with fear any more and just sat on top where no waves could reach me, completely shattered with shock but laughing hysterically without feeling any pain, yet))). The result: those scratches on my elbows are still visible although almost healed (only different color now), the rest of wounds& scratches is gone. And - most importantly! - another lesson learned. Never play with the sea / nature in general, that's a fact ;)

After the incident we climbed back up, took the car, went to buy some food and two little cava bottles in order to come back, slightly different way (towards Es Vedra), and celebrate the fact that I'm still alive   another gorgeous sunset that Mediterranean is so generous with. It was very nice. 

The rest of Ibiza holidays were obviously not so fun for me as those scratches started to hurt like hell, so we just kinda moved slowly around the island by car, went to some beautiful beaches and witnessed some more breathtaking sunsets, that I'm missing right now a lot... The morning we left to Formentera was super stormy and rainy btw, so at least with that we got lucky, and not the whole Ibiza holidays were screwed up for us))))

Next part: Formentera and Barcelona, stay tuned and have a great week guys! xxx

Hey guys, how's everything? Hope all good.. Shot this villa in Balinese style a while ago, incredible what the owners have done to an average Canarian estate with a house on a plot of land (or finca in Spanish); the garden and all interior style has that feeling of tranquility and warm welcoming.. I've never seen something like this before. The owners felt quite happy with the results of our session so I decided to share some of the photos here with you as well. Enjoy and Happy Friday, hope the summer isn't too hot like in Spain these days, esp in the mainland with its ferocious heat.. can't wait for a little cooldown, let's see what this autumn is gonna bring ;) 

Hey guys! Hope you're all well :) I've got too many things to share with you that are still waiting for me to have a bit more time, like our recent vacation in Baleares, my bad luck' lower back injury, the work load etc, stay tuned for more; and as for now just have a look at this beauuuutiful penthouse apartment I've shot recently for Fotopisos & Asten Realty  (you can click on each of them to see more details). What a dream house to live in, and it's right at the ocean... Anyway, hope you like the photos! See you soon and be safe please xx
