Pollensa - Santuari del Puig de Maria

My sister likes hiking so we decided to hike up to the Santuari del Puig de Maria as we expected beautiful views. The hike was easy and took about 50 minutes, however, in the heat it was not as simple but still enjoyable :) The views on the way and on the top compensated for all the effort.

When reaching the monastery it was almost like we arrived in a different era. The buildings were constructed in 1348 and almost looked like they were abandoned. There were benches with breathtaking views, a little chapel and a tiny cafe in the monastery. The surroundings are full of flowers, citrus trees and goats, it is a very pleasant place to rest after the hike in the heat.

Small windows with amazing views not to let too much light and heat



Inside the monastery, the climate of the past is preserved with old furniture and other details

On our way down to Pollensa, we met wild goats and adorable, small houses

Landscapes of Tenerife

I found few more photos from our trip to Tenerife. Roads with scary bends are compensated by breathtaking landscapes with amazing nature and colourful houses. Some of the pictures were taken from the car so the shrubs or trees in front are a little blurred. Los Gigantes, their height can reach up to 500m. They are very impressive.  Playa de la Americas at night. The sunsets are very picturesque and romantic. 

Winter wonderland

I joked last night that there will be only 2 cm of snow but never mind... I woke up to see all this snow. It hardly ever happens in Ireland, the last time we had this amount of snow was 2010. It looks stunning and simply beautiful - just have a look! 

Greystones

During one of the rare, sunny days in Ireland, I have visited a small town called Greystones. It is surrounded by mountains with multiple beaches on the other side of the town. The blooming landscape and beautiful shades of blue were the highlights of the views while relaxing on the beaches in Greystones!
