Lulo

Gosto muito de sumos naturais. Ontem provei o de lulo, um fruto silvestre das montanhas dos Andes, típico da Colômbia, Equador e Peru. Quando visitarem um destes países peçam um "jugo de lulo", refrescante com um sabor cítrico.

Golden sand beaches?...Go to Portugal

In April the The Huffington Post wrote about a beach in the Algarve, Ponta da Piedade, considering it could be the most beautiful beach on earth.

Today I read CNN listed Praia da Marinha, Algarve in the 20 stunning Cliffside beaches.

Last year Quercus (environmental organization) identified 336 Golden Beaches in Portugal. My country is a wonderful place for holidays if you are looking for beaches, sun and delicious food.

Bocagrande, Cartagena

I am now  in Cartagena de Índias, Colombia, a very beautiful historic city that is considered the jewel of the Caribbean. Many of its historical sites are included in Unesco World Heritage. 

Playa Blanca. Barú island

However if you are only looking for beaches, this is not the best place. Go to Porto Santo (Madeira island), the Algarve, south of Portugal or to Meco (Sesimbra area) …

Museum of Modern Art, Cartagena

The museum is housed in a part of the Royal Customs House, which was very well restored. Although the collection is small it contains works by Enrique Grau (1920-2014), who is considered a pioneer of modernity in Colombia, and other important Colombian artists.

I am glad some curators allow phtographs with no flash in the museums. It is a way of promoting the museum, the artists and their works.
