PARIS, Je t'aime

Hey guys!! I'm really sorry , I've been absent for a little while because I've been so busy this past month. I had my final exams and I was in Paris last week, so yeah I hope you can undestand :)

However I'm back with a new post about Paris yaayyyy.
In this post I'm gonna give you some advice and recommendations of my favorite places in this wonderful city and also some cool pictures I took.

My favorite places:

• The Eiffel Tower
• Montmartre and the Sace Coeur
• The Pantheon
• La Defense and its maket
• Bois San Vincennes (not so famous, but it's just... I have no words to describe it)

The Eiffel Tower

Sacré-Coeur, Montmartre

Montmartre

Montmartre is a very cute neighbourhood and probably my fav place in Paris. It has many cafés and I found really fascinating the Sacre Couer because of its design, it seems very orientalish - I loved it!!

 Pantheon

Food

Everything is Paris is so expensieve, a water bottle for example might cost 4€. However the food here is delicious especially desserts and pastries. If you ever come to this wonderful city, you must try the famous macarons, the éclairs and the religieuse (the one in the picture), and obviously the crêpes. As for restauants I recommend you to go to the BHV marais which is a mall, similar to el corte ingles - only spaniards will undestand :) - this mall has a buffet on its top floor with wondeful views and it's not expensive. You should also go to La Defense, a very modern district which has a market with products from all around the world. They sell Açai bowls - my passion- , also macarons and products fom other places.

Well I hope you liked this post and that if you ever go to paris that this recommendations will be useful because I had a lot of fun writing this post and remembering really good moments.

Ojalá restaurant

Hey guys!! Remember my post about some really cool restaurants you should try if you ever get the chance to come to Madrid… Well This one is just about one of the places I mentioned “Ojalá”

There are a couple in Madrid downtown, I usually go to the one in Malasaña. I really recommend it because everything is organic. As or food goes, if you go I suggest you get a brunch menu. It’s offered from 10:00-20:00 I like it because it’s very complete and for a cheap price.

I got: “Huevos catalanes with cereal bread”,3.60€, and to drink a small small smoothie (which it’s huge) with raspberries, açai, blueberries and orange juice,3.80€. One of my friends got the “Just-4-U” brunch ,10€, which includes coffee or an infusion and a drink wich can be: fresh squized orage juice, wine,beer or just a drink. Btw, don’t try de lemon cake unless you like acid flavours because my friend got it and no one of us liked it hahahhaha.

“Huevos catalanes with cereal bread”

In addition to this, if you are looking for someplace to go for drinks or on a date you should come here. This restaurant has a special section with beach sand,music… the atmosphere is really nice down there an Malasaña at night is just amazing J

Well, I hope you liked this post, don’t forget to follow my blog and leave a comment below if you have any wuestions or suggestions for other posts. Have a nice week, see you next Sunday!!!

Top 5 restaurants in Madrid

Hey guys!! Today I am gonna show you 5 of my favorite restaurantes to hang out with friends in Madrid. Some of them are really popular, others aren't. I just wanted to share with all of you some cool places that a lot of people don't know about.

#1 Tierra

This restaurant is really popular right now. It is similar to Chipotle. The food is great and it is also very cheap. I usually get a burrito, because the give you the tortilla and you can put inside all you want, lol.

#2 Carpo

This restaurante is not very famous, but the food here is delicious. Everything is fresh and healthy.They have lots of different kinds of smoothies, sandwiches,etc. I've only been here once and loved it.I had a veggieburger and it was amazing.Even though and I not a huge fan of vegetables i really liked it because it wasn't really made of veggies. The main difference was that instead of meat, it had lentils

#3 San Wich
This restaurante is in Malasaña (Madrid downtwn) and it's burgers are amazing. I mean, look at the one I had, NO WORDS!!And guess what, this place is not that famous so its not as crowded at Tierra for example.

#4 Ojalá
I restaurant is great because of its decoration. There is a "beach" in it. Can you imagine?!

#5 Little Big Café
Honestly, I have never been there, but my friend recommended it to me and I trust here opinion ;) It's an awesome place to have brunch. The food here is very "eco", you can find smoothies,pancakes,etc
