Goumi

It is not exceptional, but it is a totally interesting aquarium. It is well done and quite ambitious in its displays, whether it is the mangrove, the touch pool where you can touch the fish, the VR immersion, or the submarine simulator.

What a lovely garden! There is an entrance fee so I only visited once, but we were all won over by what we saw. The plants, the flowers, the overall layout of the paths, the views of the sea, truly the most beautiful spot in Blanes.

A much more charming cove for my taste than S'abanell beach. A bit more out of the way, but the (short) trip is worth it. Look, don't go imagining you're arriving in some untouched, wild land with the cove all to yourself. I saw quite a few little fish by the water's edge, and if the people I see swimming with masks near the rocks are anything to go by, I imagine there are some pretty things to see :)

Beautiful bookstore/library, but a bit dark, and above all way too cramped given how crowded it gets. I thought this place inspired Harry Potter, but some people say that is fake news? Who knows? All in all, you pay €8 for admission, and then you have to pay ridiculously high prices if you want to buy a book there. In short, this bookstore is taking advantage of its fame to make a ton of cash. We will see if that lasts in the long run?

Apparently you can hike up? That is probably the case in the summer. In winter, I do not know if it is possible, and I am not sure it is a good idea if the slopes are covered in snow. Regardless, you can get to the top of this mountain via a funicular that leaves from the city of Innsbruck. The views at the top are magnificent and stretch in every direction. A must-see!

I go to Portugal regularly, and for several years now, I always go through DiscoverCars to book my rental vehicle: - The prices are unbeatable. - There are always vehicles available, even when booking last minute. - In case something comes up, I can cancel for free (note that it is part of their guarantees, but I have never had the chance to test it, though it is still reassuring).

If it weren't for the ramparts reminding you of the defensive role the structure played, you could call the building a sumptuous palace, especially with its typical Japanese roof. The garden is so beautiful. I would have loved to see it in the spring with the cherry blossoms.

I don't understand why we spent so much time in the line at the entrance (over 30 minutes!), it is clearly poorly organized. That said, once you get past that annoyance, it's fun to walk through the different scenes. You are sometimes surprised by the size of the characters, Zlatan is huge, Sarko is tiny :) Small spoiler, some of the statues aren't actually statues ;)

The Portuguese capital (no, it is not Porto, the industrial one) is a very beautiful city. It is both modern and historic. The architecture and layout of the city remind us that Portugal is a maritime power that counted for a lot in history. The center is big and hilly, but you can do it on foot if you are in shape. Worth seeing at least once.
