Fortunately it has been quite nice weather these days... but there are storm predictions, I just make sure I have a small umbrella with me at all times. How do you keep up with the summer weather??

Street Style; Cadaqués

One necessary accessory in Cadaqués is the basket. Everybody walks around with them everywhere. Old men going to the market, kids coming from the beach and woman going for a drink on the town square. They sell them in different sized and details; Sequined, Pom-poms etc. Besides the basket fashion statement, the Catalan women are very stylish I find.

Outfit Post; Cadaqués Style

Walking along the boulevard in Cadaqués, you can definitely spot the locals from the tourists. Everybody there wears espadrilles; heeled, flats or tied sandals. At the end of my trip I couldn't resist to get a pair myself.

Cadaqués, Spain in Snapshots

Cadaqués is a tiny town on the North-East of spain. Home to Famous artist Salvador Dali who lived and worked in his house, as displayed as he had left it after he died. As you drive in, from a zig-zag road through the mountins (the only way in-and-out of town), you notice all houses and buildings are white, with primarily blue, or deep red or green windows and doors. The delicious Spanish foods like; Jamon Ibérico, Manchego cheese and Pan con Tomate. The weather is great, views are beautiful an the peope are friendly.

You should definitely stop by one time!

Benvinguts a Cadaqués!! My weekend in snapshots in Spain.

Words to live by...

3 little words I promise myself to live by. Live life with passion, excitement and always keep challenging yourself, laugh often and love much!

That is exactly what I have been doing here in Spain. Good food, good drinks and good company. It is all on yourself to make it happen (with the help of family & friends of course).

Either way, if you happen to go away for a few days, a little escape, below are some packing tips ;)
