Spiagge da sogno: Great Bay a Sint Maarten. Nella cittadina di Philipsburg, il porto di attracco di St Maarten, c’è una delle spiagge che mi piacciono di più di tutti i Caraibi. E’ vicinissima alla nave (con il taxi boat), la sabbia è dorata, l’acqua trasparente ed il relax è garantito! Sì, è vero, c’è un’orda di crocieristi: ma a me proprio non danno fastidio!

Flåm is a Norwegian village of about 500 inhabitants, at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. The village is located in the municipality of Aurland, in the county of Vestland, Norway. It is touched by the European route E16. The valley of Flåm was formed by the thick layer of ice that remained in this area for millions of years: the erosion of the glacier made the land sink, creating the deep and wide valleys that attract a large number of tourists every year.

Corso Cristoforo Colombo a Chiavari. Qualche tempo fa, questa via di Chiavari è stata parzialmente rinnovata (con la costruzione di una pista ciclabile e la piantumazione di un filare di alberi) ed ora appare molto moderna. E’ la strada che dal monumento di Colombo va fino al fiume Entella correndo parallela al mare.

A Turkish dish in Barcelona: Kofte Kebab. When I’m in Barcelona, I like to eat some Turkish food for a change. I normally go for the classic kebab dish, but last time I tried this dish. In the vast universe of Middle Eastern cuisine, few dishes can match the unmistakable taste and enveloping aroma of Kofte Kebab. Originally from Turkey, this dish has spread throughout the world thanks to its simplicity, versatility and, above all, its incredible flavour. Kofte Kebab is a classic of Turkish cuisine, with roots that go back centuries. “Kofte” comes from the Persian word “kufta,” meaning “minced” or “chopped,” while “kebab” is a Turkish word that refers to a dish cooked on a grill or skewer. This combination of ground ingredients and grilling makes Kofte Kebab a delicious and historically rich dish. The basic recipe for Kofte Kebab calls for minced meat, traditionally lamb or beef, although chicken or turkey variations are also common. Key ingredients include onion, garlic, parsley and a combination of spices that can vary depending on personal taste and region. Common spices include cumin, black pepper, chili powder and sweet or smoked paprika. Once the ingredients are mixed, the meat is shaped into small patties or elongated shapes, threaded onto skewers and then grilled until evenly browned and juicy inside. This open-fire cooking process gives Kofte Kebab its distinctive smoky, aromatic flavour that makes it so irresistible. Like many traditional dishes, Kofte Kebab has numerous regional variations that reflect different culinary influences and local preferences. For example, in the Black Sea region of Turkey, it is common to add soaked and mashed stale bread to the meat mixture to give it a softer texture and a slightly different flavor. In contrast, in the southeastern region of Turkey, kofte are often served with spicy tomato sauce or yogurt. Kofte Kebab is often served with fresh, colorful side dishes, such as tomato and cucumber salad, thinly sliced red onions, fresh parsley leaves, and squeezed lemon. These accompaniments not only add a refreshing note to the meal, but also perfectly balance the rich, intense flavors of the kebab. The dish can be served over a bed of pilaf rice or accompanied by freshly baked flat bread, such as the traditional “pide” or Turkish bread. Some Kofte Kebab lovers also like to add a generous helping of yogurt sauce, enriched with garlic and mint, for an extra touch of freshness and creaminess.
In conclusion, Kofte Kebab is much more than just a plate of grilled meat; it is a symbol of conviviality, tradition and culinary passion. Its simple yet delicious recipe and endless possibilities for customization make it a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine loved all over the world. Whether you enjoy it in an authentic Turkish restaurant or prepare it with your own hands in the kitchen, Kofte Kebab is definitely a culinary treasure to appreciate and enjoy.

La cassetta delle lettere della casa dell’Arcidiacono a Barcellona. Passeggiando in centro a barcellona e volendomi spostare dalla classica Rambla, mi sono avviato verso la cattedrale cittadina e lungo la strada ho trovato questa splendida cassetta delle lettere (della casa dell’Arcidia, l’Arcidiacono di Barcellona) finemente decorata. Mi piaciono molto le cinque rondini e la tartaruga. Lo stemma invece non riesco a capire a che famiglia appartenga.

La Casa de l’Ardiaca (in italiano Casa dell’Arcidiacono) è un edificio che si trova nel Barri Gótico di Barcellona. L’edificio è stato costruito nel XII secolo sopra l’antica muraglia romana ed era una delle residenze dei canonici di Barcellona. Alla fine del XV secolo l’edificio divenne la residenza dell’arcidiacono Lluís Desplà che trasformò la casa in un palazzetto gotico. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

The Ponte Vecchio of Cicagna in the Fontanabuona valley. Crossing the village of Cicagna I stopped for a moment on the Ponte della Vittoria and from there I photographed what I believe to be the oldest part of the village, with its beautiful stone bridge. I searched a lot online and found that the bridge is called Ponte Vecchio and crosses the Lavagna stream. When I looked for more historical information I only found it on the Ponte Fieschi which I believe is the same structure.

The town was under the dominion of the Malaspina family until 1114, when it was incorporated into the lands of the Republic of Genoa. In an ancient document dating back to 1143 it is mentioned with the toponym of Plicania, which was then transformed into Chinaglia and then into today's Cicagna. Always an important point in the Fontanabuona valley, the community was included in the podestà of Rapallo and subsequently in its captaincy (established in 1608), in the historic “quarter” of Oltremonte.

The snow-capped Maritime Alps seen from Sestri Levante. On particularly clear and cold days (I have had this photo in my archive for a long time and I really don't think the day I'm posting it was that cold) from my Sestri Levante you can see the Maritime Alps, those on the border between Italy and France, very well. Obviously to photograph them you need a good telephoto lens!

Via della Chiusa a Sestri Levante. E’ la strada pedonale che unisce piazza del Mercato (la piazza con il parcheggio più grande del centro) con il caruggio. Una via di passaggio che però ospita una delle case più fotografate di Sestri: la Casa delle Viti. La potete vedere nella foto (anche se non ne è il soggetto) subito in primo piano sulla destra.
