Marbella, Spain: Marbella is known for being one of the playgrounds of the rich and being extravagant. While it does live up to that reputation, it’s not all it has to offer. The Casco Antiguo (old town) was an enchanting surprise filled with balconies, flower boxes, churches and cafes aplenty. Marbella has a rich history…
Benalmádena, Spain: With COVID reaching its one year lockdown anniversary in Europe it would be an understatement to say that I have missed traveling. While so much of the world is still closed, I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to Benalmádena Spain for part of my break week. I know not everyone…
Ronda, Spain Another wonderful little Spanish gem located 100 kilometers from Málaga is Ronda, which makes a great morning day trip. You can even pair this with another city (such as old town Marbella) and make a full day adventure. We drove in our rental car but there are also daily buses and trains so…
Atlantis sunset lounge : Málaga While we were strolling around the harbor we decided that it would be nice to sit and have a relaxing drink in the sunshine and we stumbled upon Atlantis sunset lounge. It’s a rooftop bar with a nice view of the harbor and very comfy lounge seats. We only spent…
Trocadero: Benalmádena We were told that Trocadero was an absolute must visit restaurant if you want amazing food, nice views and a lovely dinning experience. After having a romantic dinner here I must say, I can fully endorse that statement. It is on the pricey side so don’t expect to pay anywhere close to a…
Taperia la Bodeguita: Benalmádena Our last day I wasn’t going to leave without having a tapas lunch. We needed to return the car before heading to the airport so I looked around the area of the car rental place and I found Taperia la Bodeguita. They open early which is what we needed (most places…
Pizzeria Picasso: Marbella, Spain Pizzeria Picasso was recommended to me as a highly visited place right next to the harbor. They said that during the busy hours there can be a line wrapped around the corner waiting to be seated. We decided to go right at opening time for lunch to beat the crowd and…
Mia Cafe tapas bar: Marbella (old town) We wanted to take a day to explore old town Marbella so after our trip to Rhonda, we decided to spend the remainder of the day in old town. It was almost lunchtime when we arrived so the first thing we wanted to do was find a place…
Málaga Spain: How to Spend One Day Málaga is one of those places that has a little bit of everything for everyone. If you’re one of those people who loves to spend your time traipsing around from city to city , monument to monument then there are plenty of sites and day trips you can…
Malibu beach bar: Benalmádena Malibu Beach Bar was recommended to us by our host as it is a very short walk from the AirBnB. It’s right on the water front and seemed to be very popular in the weekends with a younger crowd. However, T his isn’t to say we didn’t see older couples along…
Jabega : Malaga, Spain We decided to drive a bit further for dinner on our second night. We took a bit of a stroll up the coast line and wanted to check out the selection of restaurants. We saw the variety and everything seemed really well priced so we decided to give Jabega a try….
Yucas: We passed by Yucas while we were trying to find a car rental shop further away. It looked so nice that when we finally succeeded in getting our car we immediately drove back to check it out. They have a few sections, the top floor is the bar & cafe. Below is the full…
La Bella Bambina: Benalmádena, Spain We landed very late and decided to try La Bella Bambina because you can see it from the infinity pool of our AirBnB. Our first visit was around 21:00 so we weren’t able to see the amazing views yet. This is part of the reason we decided we needed to…
Pantry: Budapest Brunch, brunch, brunch. As I’ve said in many reviews I live for brunch. I’ve made it my mission to try as many brunch hot spots as possible. Today we went to one that’s been high on my list for a while to try because of their “tapas” style option for breakfast. It’s called…
Chimichangas: Budapest With the lockdowns still going, I was thankful to be in Budapest where it is a bit less strict than in Austria right now. You are still able to pick up food from restaurants which was wonderful when we stumbled across this Mexican-American kitchen downtown. Chimichangas was a breath of fresh air. DECOR:…
Le Burger : Vienna With the corona lockdown still in full swing here in Vienna, restaurants won’t be open for at least another month sadly, however there is still take out available which helps to break up the monotony of the quarantine home cooking. We decided to break up the monotony and grab some grub…
Zing Burger : Budapest COVID has made 2020 a difficult year to say the least. I know in the scheme of things missing going out to restaurants is a minor inconvenience however the food industry has taken a big hit. So we have continued to order in or pick up food when we can to…
TOPRUM sky & bar : Budapest Brunch is life. I live for brunch. It’s honestly my favorite hobby and I admire any meal that encourages the drinking of champagne at any hour of the day. So naturally, when I visit cities I always try to find some of the best brunch places. Toprum popped up…
Hadik: Budapest I went to Hadik with a group of girlfriends who are also hockey wives to my partners teammates here in Budapest. One of them recommended we go here and we decided to go on the way to one of the games. The menu was full of things I would love to try so…
Iguana Mexican : Budapest We were really craving Mexican and looked up a few places online. I’m so glad we choose Iguana. Yes the reviews were great but honestly I partly chose it because I liked the name (hey, sometimes it really is that easy to get my interest!) DECOR/AMBIANCE: The music was a little…
