BUKHARA - I just can't forget the image of stunning Bukhara at sunrise, with its peaceful streets, its waking up and its warm sunlight on the facade of its ancient buildings.

CHAI TEA AT HAWA MAHAL - Do you like Indian masala chai?
.
I do! I really love it and take any opportunity to enjoy it. But this one was extra special because we could savour the drink in front of the Palace of wind or Hawa Mahal, a famous landmark in Jaipur.
.
Most interestingly, this tiny cafe right across from it on the rooftop of a rather nondescript building was opened by the family of a guy who spoke spanish.
.
Right there, in one of the most touristy bits of one of the most popular cities in Rajasthan and India we met him, someone who spoke Spanish and had lived in Spain.
.
He was eager to practice, my family eager to speak a familiar language, and we all savored the moment, while tourists flocked to this view point.
.
It would have probably not mattered if the masala chai was authentic or not, or if it was served in the traditional clay cups, but it was, and that made it all the more appealing.
.
Jaipur was part of my half hosted trip through Rajasthan with @indiasomeday specialist on organising trips in India.

PEACOCK GATE - Me and my 5 peacocks, who's your tribe?
.
This is one of four decorated gates in a courtyard of #Jaipur City Palace.
.
All equally beautiful, but I particularly liked the peacock one, the national bird of #India.

PATRIKA GATE - This relatively new fully pastel landmark in Jaipur is right by the airport so makes for a quick pit stop on your way in or out of the city.
.
From the outside it's actually a normal gate with three arches but it has a transversal corridor with these colorful arches that are the perfect background to a photoshoot .
Not mine, mind you, but three girls' in bright saris who had set up tripod and were ready for pretty pictures.
.
Picture was taken on our partially #hosted trip through #Rajasthan with @indiasomeday #JaipurIG #JaipurDairies #Jaipur #PinkCity #PatrikaGate #travelBlogger #IndiaSomeday #IndiaIG #JaipurIgers #ladyinred #catalanspelmon #ViatgersDC #dametravel #sheisnotlost #dametraveler

JAIPUR CITY PALACE - The Pink City of Jaipur does not disappoint.
.
With its dusty pink old city facades (a UNESCO site) and its romantic City Palace (another UNESCO site), this is a place to fall in love. With the city, with the many tales and legends, with whomever you are visiting (in my case, my family 😂 and with @indiasomeday #hosted)
.
This entrance to the inner courtyards of the palace is particularly photogenic and I couldn't help myself. .
Have you been to Jaipur? Do you want to go?

PALAU DE LA MUSICA CATALANA - Have you ever seen something this exquisite?
.
The headquarters of @orfeo_catala is a stunning music hall designed by Puig i Cadafalch over 100 years ago and it is possibly one of the most aesthetically beautiful building in #Barcelona, don't you think?
.
The building can be visited on a guided tour or if you attend any of the performances and concerts which happen almost daily.
.
The main concert hall is what you see on this picture and it is famous for its stained glass ceiling decoration lamp which let's quite a bit of light through, as you can see on this shot.
.
But it's not just this part which will take your breath away, the ground floor cafeteria, the balconies and the foyer are equally incredible.
.
Did I mention that Palau de la Musica is a #UNESCO site?

NEW YEAR'S EVE - What did you do on NYE? I basically spent it taking photos 😂
.
Yep! @edwin.grummitt and I had dinner at @nobubarcelona and then went back to the room to see the fireworks over @fontmagica and take some cool photos like this one. It was the first time I spent NYE in Barcelona and I wanted to make sure we could see the fireworks from a vantage point without so we could take photos and didn't have to the brave the cold and the crowds.
.
Behind the scenes of this photo - this is not a single photo, that would require a lot of luck, we actually took almost 250 photos in about 20min, shooting in the dark to avoid reflections and almost nonstop to capture several of the firework explosions and then make this "montage" of 3 photos in photoshop.
.
There was also a fair bit of editing afterwards because, as the fireworks progressed, there was more smoke in the air and the sky became more blurry. .
Bottom line, photography can sometimes be as much about skill as it is about patience.
.
PS this is how we entered the new year, without a celebration or the 12 grapes we eat in Spain or the hats and streams we got at dinner, we were too busy taking photos 😂. And this is not a complain, I'm not a massive NYE fan so this seemed like a more fun way to cross into a new decade. And Barcelona is beautiful on that night too!

HAPPY NEW YEAR - From Barcelona with love for all 30k of you who followed my journey this year!
.
Enjoying my time back home with @catalunyaexperience exploring the places I visited as a kid and the many more beautiful parts of my country that I had never been to before.
.
2019 was a good year, I can't complain at all. Why? Because I wake up every day to do what I love and what makes me happy. And when you do what you love you'll never work another day in your life. .
Here's to a new decade when I'll turn 40 and continue to explore new countries and old places with the same passion and excitement I visited all the previous ones.

CASA VICENS - This was Gaudi first large project and private house and boy did he practice new techniques and ideas!
.
The house facade is all in exposed red brick and tiles with a green and yellow flower motif but inside it's an explosion of colors and materials.
.
Imagine a ceiling made of papier mache, other ceilings covered in relief tiles in large flower shapes, and a corner room decorated with blue tiles that resemble the portals of the Silk Road.
.
Totally crazy!
.
It reminded me of the famous sentence his teacher said when Gaudi earned his architecture degree " we gave awarded the title to a genius or a fool, only time will tell" .
