Just as I embark on my spring break travels, here's a brief look at my winter break summarised in pictures. Icy winter draft not included.
Barcelona
__
A city chock full of modernism influence - you really can't walk through the city without a reminder of Gaudi's genius - that leaves you pleasantly surprised with every turn. This Catalonian hub is filled with gems, from generous tapas bars to the famous La Boqueria (where you can't leave without washing a dozen prosciutto slices down with fresh sangria). Barcelona never fails to disappoint and always leaves me with a warm happy belly aka food baby.
Rome
__
The city boasts a multitude of ancient structures that I couldn't stop gaping at; the Pantheon literally rendered me speechless as I took in all of its massive pillars. Then there's Oceanus, basking in his aquatic glory at the world-famous Trevi Fountain, always a good place to explore and grab a pistachio gelato or two. Despite the never-ending crowd, Rome sure knows how to steal my heart with its cobblestone streets.
Venice
__
A city like no other, we had the privilege to witness its (extremely) rare snow day, which was a treat at first but gradually became a nuisance. It only made us want to stay indoors more, specifically in this one little eatery right around the corner from our airbnb, which serves the most amazing squid ink pasta I had ever had (seriously not exaggerating here lol). It was so good we had to go back at least once a day. The best part about Venice was roaming about its alleys, basking in the winter air and soaking in the sights in the city that time forgot.
