Epic Innsbruck

Almost 2000m above sea level. That's a very impressive view no doubt!

Little House in Tirol

I found myself in a small village in Tirol for the holidays. It's one of those holidays that you always dream of after seeing so many movies with the happy and the crazy. We definitely had a crazy join us for Christmas but I won't go into detail. Hope you all had a nice holiday :)

Rainy Barcelona

While the rest of Europe deals with snow storms and airport closures, Barcelona is dealing with rain...and lots of it. It's been raining non-stop for a few days now and I'm glad I'm leaving just in time for Christmas holidays. Photo taken at Pl. Catalunya

Holiday!

Tomorrow I leave for Austria for Christmas and I can't wait!!! Looking forward to escaping the rain here and welcoming the snow! Hope it will be a white white Christmas. Hope you all have a lovely holiday!

The Penis Tower

Also knows as the Torre Agbar tower, named after its owners the Agbar Group, a holding company. Opened in 2005 at a cost of 130 million Euros. This 38 story building holds no major purpose other than office space and has become a recognizable part of the landmark. 4500 LED's light up the night sky.

Oh Christmas Tree...

The Christmas Tree seen at Glories shopping centre. Shops are generally closed here on Sundays but for the month of December they remain open for people to do their Christmas shopping. Going shopping when you're not inspired is the worst...I managed to buy nothing. Good thing I've still got a few more days. 

Christmas is a week away!

Can you smell it? Christmas is only a week away and I have so much shopping to do. I better start now. This picture was taken last year when I was visiting my friend in Belfast City. This is the tree at Victoria Square, the big shopping centre. 

Scooter invasion...

Taken this morning in Gracia. The traffic in this city scares me...partly because people don't know how to drive and don't really understand the concept of a red light. It's gotten really cold lately and as a result I have a miserable cold. Here's to a Friday night at home. Hope you all have a much better weekend than me!

Oh beautiful morning...

What a gorgeous morning. One of those things only nature can create. Oh what a beautiful morning it is. Happy Friday!

Post Lady Gaga

The town was all Gaga. The party continued at RazzMatazz. What a night!

Cheese and Wine

It's a holiday here! The day of the immaculate conception. As a result there were a lot of parties in town. I started the night by meeting some friends I hadn't seen in a while. What can be better than Cheese and Wine at one of my favourite restaurants, A Casa Portuguesa, with some great friends. They have the most delicious  selection of cheeses and a great variety of wine to chose from...not mention fantastic desserts (home-made). It's no doubt that this place if full to capacity every night of the week. 

I later joined my friend for more wine before heading out to a party. Lady Gaga was in town last night for a concert (I did not make it to the concert) and then everyone made their way to the disco. More pictures from that will follow tomorrow.  :)

Santa Claus is Coming to Town...

The countdown is on! 

B Festive

What more can I say? B Festive and have a fruitful weekend!

City Hall

Let the shopping begin!

Tonight kicked off the official holiday shopping season. Most stores on the main commercial street, Passeig de Gracia, stayed open until midnight and of course all the Christmas street lights are up and running! There are also tons of freebies...everything from balloons to champagne. Get shopping!
*Featured in this photo is Hotel Majestic. Rumour has it that whenever Woody Allen is in town, this is his hotel of choice. 

Christmas Market

Jesus is it December already? Where has this year gone? I guess it's time to start shopping shopping shopping. The thing I love most about Europe is this...the Christmas Market and everything that comes along with it including hot wine. mmm. These were taken last year when I was visiting my friend in Belfast City. A great place to pick out some nice gifts.
