They had warned us... "that you don't take off your coat until May 40", so we can't complain... Especially if it's the weekend and we have a thousand alternative plans so you don't stay in defense of your excuse "it's June and it doesn't look like June" , Oh no! A Traveler weekend is for 'they take away the dance'.

TABLE FOR THOSE WHO ARE, BUT LET IT BE IN LA GUSTAVA
The Lalala Group has opened this new eighth space who joins the family at Calle de las Huertas, number 20. It is more of the same, that is, more of the different (in his line, wow): modern brewery, quality and groundbreaking decoration, as always.
In other words, it will surely end up joining our list of favorite places in Madrid. And you will wonder: why Gustav? You will not have imagined it, because in a groundbreaking way too, it comes with this name that refers to the writer Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, who lived in the same building where the bar opens its doors.
We love it, especially its terrace. A traditional tapas and snacks with a Lalala touch is waiting for you in the group's new conquest (chsss... here's our tip: they recommend us the anchovies in vinegar and the Russian salad ) .

A BOOK, The most fascinating natural landscapes in Europe. 30 essential routes by car , by Jordi Canal-Soler, writer and photographer. And no, it is not a conventional guide, but much more than that, It really shows the most virgin and wild places and natural routes of the European continent, routes to travel alone, as a couple or with the family.
A tireless traveler, Jordi has published more than 200 articles in magazines such as Viajes National Geographic or Altaïr and has collaborated on more than 400 radio programs, so the advice we will read in his handwriting will come to us like a ring to finger. And although he has traveled the five continents, he chooses Europe to show his most special places . The author stops to think about his book all those times when we have admired the beauty of a landscape and we have longed to have more time to reflect when traveling.
“Nature, in Europe, has been underestimated in many ways and, when we compare it with that of other more “wild” continents, we are surprised to see that we still have a great natural wealth in our Old Europe that we must help to maintain. Only what is known is loved and what is loved is protected”, affirms the author.
