I knew that my mother in law is afraid of deep water, but I didn't know that she's not a fan of altitude. Instead of making her happy I made her shivering.


In the end she overcame her weakness and bravely walked through - veni, vidi, vici. Congratulations!


If you want to make somebody happy you need to know this person. I like the adventure, but personally I prefer more "extrem" ones :P


In the gorge, there were many vultures waiting for death. They wanted to eat carrion, wild pig had fallen from top and smelled terribly, so were landing there but it was to narrow to take off.


More photos and videos on facebook.

We went with Chris to see children having fun.


When I see all these facial expressions I just cannot resist staying and looking at them.


Black and white photos to show you that youth never changes.


More pictures  in the gallery.

The nazarenos - fraternity members - were going through the narrow streets holding a paso that was almost filling them. The spectators almost had to stick to the walls to give it a way.


We kept on following until we reached the cathedral. Not only the visitors but also the citizens wanted to watch the procession.


If you are interested you will find pictures in  gallery.

The procession went through the main streets gathering many spectators. First year I was very surprised because all the streets were closed and the traffic lights were placed above, so that the floats had enough place to pass.


We could see not only adult participants but also parents who were supporting their children.


It is really incredible to be here and see friendship, love, ...

This post is the first from a series about Semana Santa (Holy Week) and how people celebrate it in Spain. As you may know I like travelling, getting to know the customs and traditions that sometimes are very different from the ones I know. But the most I like is participating in everyday's life, because thanks to this I can feel a bit like a local inhabitant.


It seems to be a magic that everybody wants to unite during these days. In Baeza I met an amazing family, who gave me so much love that I felt as if I were a part of it. I will never forget it. Thank you.

For me there is no better place than mountains with snow. We spent the last two days in the Sierra Nevada. During the day the sun was shining and after skiing we were watching colourful sunsets with a lift in the foreground.

I really like the area where we live, picturesque hills just before sunset.

Yesterday, it was probably the last rainy day. Such weather continues since last Monday with short breaks dedicated for cycling;) The weekend was unfortunately very ugly, so the only thing we could do was to eat and wander with an umbrella, though, we did about 20 km. The views are very nice, seems like spring has come :) Sometimes, I'm really astonished that in Poland the spring is once a year and here at least twice. In the pots, not only at home, iris and freesia start to germinate and grass is growing on the beach.
