“Viajas más que el baúl de la Piquer”, my friend once said to me. It translates to, “You travel more than the trunk of Piquer”; a Spanish saying from the 40s relating to Concha Piquer, a Spanish singer who travelled the world singing and had the country stickers all over her trunk (suitcase) to prove it.

Having another “Puente” (long weekend), a group of friends and I decided to go on a road trip to the small coastal town of Tarifa. I mean, who can resist the calling of the sun, surf and sand? (more…)
