Hello, dear readers!

I’m not quite sure how to start, but I’d love to share some photos from my spring trip. Back in March, I visited a friend in Spain and spent a fabulous day in Peñíscola — a beautiful coastal town. Its old town sits on a scenic peninsula, connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land. The white-and-blue color palette reminded me of Santorini in Greece.

Another unique feature of these dazzling white houses with sky-blue shutters is the tilework — reminiscent of Portuguese azulejos. The tiles decorate the undersides of balconies, perfectly positioned for passersby to admire from the street below. Walking past, it’s impossible not to pause for a moment to take in the intricate patterns that add even more charm to the town.

This particular balcony really caught my eye — not just because of the tiles, but also because of the stunning succulent. Its leaves were bursting with such rich, vibrant colors, could I walk past without stopping?

I've put together a collection of photos of this blue-and-white beauty. Just the balconies, windows, doors, arches... And funny details.

And, as they say, saving the best for last. There’s one house in Peñíscola that’s truly impossible to miss — its entire facade is covered in real seashells. It’s one of the town’s most iconic spots, constantly drawing crowds of tourists eager to take a photo. And I don’t blame them — it is one-of-a-kind and looks absolutely magical.

That's it.

Hope you enjoyed my collection.

Cheers,
