The Blue Flag certificate, a prestigious license awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) since the 1980s. It is given to coastal resorts that meet specific quality criteria (cleanliness of the sea, beaches, efficiency of services, marinas, and transportation). The recognition is valid throughout Europe but, over time, has also expanded to other countries […]
There is a part of Spain that feels “less Spain”: it is Galicia, a vast green land in the far west of the nation, overlooking the northern coast and the only one to touch the Atlantic Ocean. Literally “sitting” between Portugal and the sea, Galicia shares only a few common characteristics with Spain. In fact, […]
We want to tell you about the island of Capri, today. About its lights and shadows, where “shadows” don’t mean problems (there will be some, but we won’t look for them) but hidden, secret places, less touristy and equally beautiful. You can’t ignore the classic beauties of this special island, but you shouldn’t get stuck […]
How many things do you really know about Wroclaw? To begin with, did you know such a beautiful city existed in the heart of Poland? Or did you know that its name is also Breslau, or that its canals with 120 bridges make it the “Fourth Venice of Europe” (after Venice itself, Amsterdam, and […]

It is the tradition of the “infiorata” (flower tapestry) much more than a simple artistic installation: a true celebration of spring. The tradition was born, as often happens, from religion and specifically from […]
This month of May treat yourself to a trip that’s literally… divine! Where? To the Mount of the Gods, of course. Mount Olympus, in Greece! Most people think Mount Olympus overlooks Athens, but it is at about five-hour drive from the Greek capital, instead. Surrounded by rocky peaks and wild forests, this mountain offers a […]
Was it a forest? A customs border? Or really a lemon grove stretching to the far north of the Mediterranean area? It’s a bit of a mystery, but this too is part of Limone sul Garda‘s charm. Yes, we are on Lake Garda—between Lombardy, Veneto, and Trentino in northern Italy—and yet lemons grow here. At […]
