A Look at The Miró Foundation




Iki yil once yeni yili gecirmek icin geldigimiz Barselona'yi, yazin da gormeliyiz diyerekten kisin kicimiz donarak gezdigimiz bazi yerlerin bu kez tam anlamiyla tadini cikarttik diyebilirim. Parc Montjuïc de bunlardan birisi. Yaninda da bonusu var daha onceden vakit bulamayip gidemedigimiz The Joan Miró Foundation...

After spending a new year in Barcelona two years ago, it made us feel that we should come back in  summer  to enjoy outdoor places more than before. Parc Montjuïc is one of them. In addition we have bonus that we couldn't have time to visit before; The Miró Foundation...

Old Barcelona




Her seyin eskisi, köklüsü güzel oldugu gibi sehirlerin de eski sokaklari hemen ilk giriste dikkatinizi ceker. Bilirsiniz ki aslinda sehrin kalbi oradadir. Barcelona'nin da eski sokaklari hemen hemen giden herkesin nefesini keser; ah su balkonunda renk renk ciceklerle dolu saksilarin asili oldugu ev benim olsa  diye icimizden geciririz. Iste bende aynen oyle bir gun gecirdim; gozume kestirdigim o guzel balkonlu evimden ciktim ve Barcelona'nin en guzel meydaninda en sevdigim arkadaslarimdan biriyle keyifli ve uzun surecek bir aperitif icin bulustuk.

I think in most of the things for me is the older, the better. That's why I'm always amazed by the old parts of the cities. You always feel that the heart of the city is beating there. Well, Barcelona is one of them and real Barcelona is waiting for you on that streets. While passing through the old dark streets, you wish the house with balcony has full of colorful flowers, would be yours. You wish to be belong there. So, I've spent such a charmed day. I left my house with wonderful balcony and walked through the best "plaza" of the Barcelona to have the best,  long and enjoyable apéritif with one of my best friend.

Alacati Flavours




Tatile doyamayip tembellesen, daha tatildeyken yeni tatil planlari yapan bir ben... Ayrica bu postta da yeniden Alacati'nin sokaklarinda kaybolmus bir Ezgi bulacaksiniz.

Ezgi; still hungry for traveling and planning for the next one when she is still on vacation. Also in this post , again, you'r going to see me lost in the streets of Alacati.

 An amazing start for a new day 

We were really content about our hotel decision. Chigdem Boutique Hotel had exactly what we were looking for; quite, peaceful and cozy...


But star of the day and night was Alancha Restaurant. While I was looking for a nice and delicious restaurant, I coincide with Alancha. I read about them and I see that this is what we're looking for; unity of gastronomy and traditional cuisine. Their menu is not include many pages and food but on the other hand they have tasting menu includes 23 different foods. Also they have little kitchen tour to show how they produce their own spices, vegetables etc... Although they have a great concept and delicious foods, we think that they still need to progress in wine. 









Unfortunately, end of the night...

Alacati


Sanirim hayatimin en uzun ilk ve son tatilini yapiyorum. Her sey o kadar ritminde ki oncelikle bol guneslenmeli anneye babaya kardese doymali yapilan tatile nisanli (ki bu kelimeye hala alismis degilim) da katilinca duragan sakin tatil olur bir anda senlik solen. Simdi aynen oyle yatmalar bitti, gezmeler basladi; haa sikayet ettigimi saniyorsaniz yaniliyorsunuz her sey daha yeni basliyor :) Ilk olarak Alacati dan baslayalim. Oncelikle ilk defa gittigim icin icimde hep bir pismanlik ve merak vardi haliyle. Neden daha once gidemedim diye dusunurken aslinda cok abartmamam gerektigini anladim. Kesinlikle Universal studyolarindaymissiniz hissini veren mimarisiyle gorulmesi gereken bir yer. Her sokagi ayri tarih olan bu sirin kasabada kendinizi kaybetmemeniz imkansiz. Ama benim deniz tatili anlayisim denize yakinlikla dogru orantili oldugundan bazi beklentilerimi karsilamasa da harika iki gun gecirdigimizi inkar edemem. 

I think I'm in my first but last, long holiday. Everything was so periodic with my family that arrival of my fiancé changed everything. Again we found ourself in short trip. But, be sure it's not gonna be last.  Still, let's start with Alacati. Before I arrive I had two strong feeling; regret and excessive curiosity. I feel regretful that why I become too late to visit this lovely town and feel curious about what is waiting for me. Alacati is somewhere you should definitely visit. With its Greek architecture and cute shops/restaurants, it is a place gives you the same feeling as if you're in Universal Studios. But my understanding of sea holiday is should be in direct proportion with the location of the sea. So, the long distances between sea and the center could be bothersome but still this is was not bottleneck to spend two happy days in this lovely place. 



Asma Yapragi is one of the best restaurants you should really taste Aegean Cuisine.
