Kristianstad Charged with positive emotions from the pleasant stroll in Copenhagen, I head for the Central Station. I already have a ticket for the train and just have to wait at the right platform. The trains from Copenhagen to Kristianstad through Malmö (with a final station at Karlskrona) run every…
The trip to Copenhagen Copenhagen was not my actual destination. I was traveling through on my way to Kristianstad in Sweden. Nevertheless, I decided to make the best possible detour and plan my trip so that I would have as much time as possible for Copenhagen’s main landmarks. I managed to…
Photo safari with Tony (2) We head towards Arrieta, a small village in the northeast of the island known for the Aloe Vera museum (read shop) and La Casa Roja (red, unlike all the rest that are white). Tony explains that Aloe Vera is a traditional product of the island,…

That was precisely what we decided to do in one of the pleasanter September days. We were lucky enough to have sunny and peaceful…
