The highlight of this trip was to visit the food mecca that is San Sebastian. This is where we threw the scales out – and ate as if we shopped with gusto! Together with the surrounding area, Spanish Basque country has the highest number of Michelin […]

Pamplona sans the Bulls! Navarra, Spain
Our next Pitstop en-route to San Sebastian was Pamplona. Famous for its annual “encierros” , better known as the ghastly, exhilarating, horrific, adrenaline-pumping “Running of the Bulls” Festival supposedly dedicated to San Fermin held every 7th -14th of July. Hmmmm! Close to my son’s birthday […]
Zaragoza rings a bell! Aragon, Spain
We left Barcelona at 9am. We were off to the Food Mecca that San Sebastian is fondly known for. After three hours on the road, it was time for lunch. Rather than grabbing a quick lunch by one of the gas stations, Marc suggested that we […]
Hola Barcelona! Day 2 – La Sagrada Familia & Montserrat
La Sagrada Familia Barcelona is La Sagrada Familia. It’s sacrilege if you miss it. And so of course it was a must that we all pay homage to this amazing work in progress! They have been building this since 1882- and they are still […]
Katigbaks Euro Trip Itinerary – October 2015
What prompted this trip was that “Too Good to Miss” SQ Promo with BPI Cards last January 2015. My Father-in-Law and Sister-in-Law – Judith, braved the lines in Glorietta Mall to discuss travel options with a travel agent and after clearing out the details, we […]
Hola Barcelona! Day 1
Long flights to Europe are always a hassle. Counting the hours and calculating how many more movies I can watch makes it even more cumbersome. Then again, I find it difficult to sleep – too excited and concerned with the kids. After 22 hours of total travel […]

Cape Town SA – A World of It’s Own (Day 3)
This morning’s agenda was to check out the Pink Lady – The Mount Nelson Hotel. After walking through the palatial hallways, we waited at the sumptuous sitting room which is ideal for those popular High Tea occasions. High tea may have once been a simple […]
Capetown SA – A World of Its Own (Day 2)
On the second day, I could tell it was going to be a great morning for another round of site visits and our Cape Peninsula Tour. While I was busy checking out Table Bay Hotel, Anton explored the Marina and was happy to catch a […]
Capetown SA – A World of Its Own (Day 1)
Capetown is a great city to unwind and re-charge before I had to head back to reality. After our Amazing-Race-like pace while on Safari in Botswana, South Africa; and private concessions around Kruger National Park, it was a treat to be re-introduced back into civilization. The […]
