When the sea is rough while sailing

Quando il mare è agitato in navigazione

When the sea is rough while sailing.
Those who decide to take a cruise must always take into account that the ship is on the sea and the weather is always unpredictable.
It doesn't matter if you are in the immense Ocean or in the more reassuring Adriatic Sea: when nature decides to raise the wind and the waves start to increase, the ship begins to rock.
No problem though: modern ships are so large (and have stabilization systems) that the wave motion makes them move very little compared to the past! but they do move a little!
What to do? Don't think about it too much and let yourself be lulled by the movement!

I took these photos last year from my ex Costa Firenze.

Dried Fruit at the Boqueria in Barcelona

Frutta secca al mercato della Boqueria di Barcellona in Spagna

Dried fruit at the Boqueria market in Barcelona, ​​Spain.
The beautiful stalls of the most famous covered market in Barcelona are always very beautiful to see and to photograph.
This was one of the several stalls that sell (but the photo is not exactly recent) dried fruit and you can recognize some of them: banana, apricot, strawberry, kiwi and other fruit that I don't recognize.

Here's where the market is located:

La Boqueria is the most famous market in Spain and one of the largest in Catalonia with its 2,583 square meters and more than 300 stalls.

The sbatacchio arches in the village of Vernazza

Gli archi di sbatacchio tra le case nel borgo di Vernazza alle Cinque Terre

The sbatacchio arches between the houses in the village of Vernazza in the Cinque Terre.
Walking through the Ligurian villages you often see these architectural structures that connect the houses in the alleys.
These arches, called sbatacchio arches, are elements built to increase the stability of the buildings especially when the distance between the walls is small (and in Liguria it is almost a constant).

The camels of Timanfaya on the island of Arrecife

I cammelli del Timanfaya nell'isola di Arrecife

A camel caravan in Timanfaya Park on the island of Arrecife.
Last year, I finally managed to visit Timanfaya Park on the island of Lanzarote.
The park is visited by taking a tour, in my case by bus, among the many volcanic peaks (active and not) in the area.
However, there is also the possibility of taking a tour on camels, animals that were used a lot in the past on the island, hence this camel caravan that I photographed.

Spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and prawns, the recipe

Spaghetti con pomodorini e gamberoni, la ricetta

Spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and prawns, the recipe.
Some time ago I had the pleasure of enjoying a good plate of pasta with cherry tomatoes and prawns on the ship.
Since I had the photos back at hand, I decided to write to you how to prepare them at home (with a little help from AI). The preparation is really simple, I assure you.

Ingredients:

– 350g spaghetti;
– 300g cherry tomatoes;
– 250g shelled prawns;
– 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped;
– Extra virgin olive oil;
– Salt and black pepper to taste;
– Chili pepper (optional, according to taste);
– Fresh parsley, finely chopped;

Preparation:

Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water according to the packet instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve a little of the cooking water.
In a large frying pan, heat a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and, if you like, chilli pepper for a spicy kick.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they start to release their juices and become soft.
Add the peeled prawns to the pan and cook for a further 3-5 minutes or until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too dry, you can add a little of the spaghetti cooking water.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan and mix well, making sure they are well seasoned with the sauce.
Serve the spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and prawns on individual plates, garnishing with a drizzle of fresh extra virgin olive oil and chopped parsley.
Enjoy!

The yellow funnel of the Costa Diadema in Bergen.

A Myriad of Spices at the Boqueria in Barcelona

Una miriade di spezie al mercato della Boqueria di Barcellona

A myriad of spices at the Boqueria market in Barcelona.
The Boqueria market is certainly built to attract tourists. The credit for all this is given by the large quantity and variety of goods on display.
In addition to fresh fruit take-away there are also many stalls selling spices of all kinds, both already contained in bottles and by weight.
I'll leave you to imagine the smells passing in front of this stall!

The pebbles in the churchyard of the church of Mattarana

I risseu del sagrato della chiesa di Mattarana

The pebbles in the churchyard of the church of Mattarana.
I always really like risseu, that particular decorative art that consists of placing river or sea pebbles (almost always black and white) to create a design.
In this case it is the decoration of the churchyard of the church of San Giovanni Battista in the small village of Mattarana in the province of La Spezia.
