The heart of Portugal’s Algarve region is red. It stands out above a stretch of white rock and copper-colored sand, overlooking the Atlantic waves. It is Praia da Falèsia, a stretch of white cliffs culminating in red-hot peaks, which become a veritable blaze of beauty under the setting sun. A complicated path to navigate, and […]
Locri and its beaches have been awarded a “Blue Flag” this summer of 2026, and there’s no better reward for an area of Calabria with such a breathtaking beauty and long, troubled history, often associated with criminal activity. Locri experienced difficult times after the unification of Italy, and banditry persisted in its hinterland for […]

A vacation on this coast offers the same thrills as an exotic getaway, but there is always something that will remind you that you are actually in Sicily. The excellent cuisine, […]
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 […]
