We really enjoyed our trip to Sicily, and we are already planning to come back. Outstanding views, baroque towns, picturesque beaches, delicious food and sympathetic Sicilians made our trip unforgettable. It may be slightly less impressive than Amalfi Coast (you can check our post and compare), but for sure is much more authentic… and cheaper. You normally need to […]
Noto, a gorgeous baroque town in East Sicily
The little town of Noto was probably the best surprise of our trip to East Sicily. It was also the best choice as a place to stay most of the days, acting as a base to visit the rest of the island (east side). It is strategically convenient but also beautiful and calm. It really looks like a […]

Chilean Patagonia. Queulat National Park

It was created in 1983, and it was inaccessible by men until the construction of “Carretera Austral” a few years ago. This is why the area […]

Best way to travel between Moscow and St. Petersburg
