El Campero restaurant is sea, is light, is tuna, it is the flavour of the south of Andalucia…(located 72 km west of Algeciras).
It is said that El Campero has soul. Soul to contemplate the gastronomy as a unique experience in a millenary history of love and knowledge of tuna…

A high quality japanese restaurant in Barcelona with a smooth brasilian touch; (not to forget that Sao Paulo in Brasil accomodates the second largest japanese population outside Japan)…
Intimate & trendy atmosphere in a very tiny space, Nakashita stands out from the crowd of usual sushi restaurants in Barcelona thanks to the creativity of his owner and the extremely fresh & tasty fish.
We recommed to sit at the bar, right in front of Marcio (the owner). He is a great host, and knows very well how to treat his guests.

History, art, and pure sensual delights come together majestically at “The Serras” on Barcelona’s celebrated Gothic quarter. Here, breezes blow off the Mediterranean into large rooms with balconies that offer a front row seat to this trendy Barcelona neighborhood. This elegant 5-star GL boutique hotel overlooking the new luxury Port Vell alongside the Mediterranean Sea, offers a unique hideaway with a modern understated decor.

The gastrobar ULTRAMARINOS QUINTIN has the best location in Madrid: in the edge of the neighbourhood of Salamanca.
It will delight you with the amazing atmosphere (but be aware sometimes too busy).
Take a moment to appreciate the draft tap, the take home bread, the grocery shelter, the cheese corner… Just a perfect place to repeat for a drink, or a tea….or for a lunch or dinner if you don’t mind a crowded feel. Food is correct but not as excellent as their below partners:
EL PARAGUAS & TEN CON TEN.

The Costa Brava between the french border and Girona in Catalunya is considered one of the 10 best places to visit (if not to live) once in a life time.
There is a secluded countryside area in Costa Brava at Baix Emporda, called The Catalan Tuscany, as it is refferred by its similar beauty: Medieval cobblestone villages and authentically catalan unspoiled rolling hills and lush green landscapes just 20 min drive from the best beaches.
Villages not to be missed: Monells, Madremanya, Púbol (visit its Gaudi & Gala castle-museum), and Sant Marti Vell, a perfect location to indulge in a gem of a peaceful place, a medieval catalan stone house known as “Masia” transformed into a boutique tiny hotel :
