La bellesa dels indrets remots
Que una canadenca que va créixer prop de les Muntanyes Rocalloses, quedi totalment fascinada per la Vall de Núria, només pot demostrar la magnitud de la bellesa d’aquesta magnífica zona del Pirineu català, a la qual només podràs arribar o bé a peu, o bé en cremallera.
“I knew I would like The Vall de Núria (Valley of Núria in English) as soon as I heard that the only way to get there was by rack railway or by foot. No roads=bliss/joy/nature (take your pick of adjectives). What I didn’t realize was how much I would like it.
The Vall de Núria is stunning! And this is coming from a girl who grew up near the Rocky Mountains in Canada, so believe me, I know my mountains!”

Girona enamora
Laurel està enamorada de Girona, tant és així que en dos anys l’ha visitada cinc vegades. I és que aquesta província és plena de llocs sorprenents, que captiven i els quals no et deixen indiferent.
“It’s one of those places that keeps drawing you back. Located just 100km from Barcelona, it’s an easy train ride and has a completely different feel than Barcelona. (…) You can easily spend hours getting lost in the cobblestone streets, wandering from one cafe to another, sampling some of its famous Jamón ibérico (Iberian ham) which is always one of my favorite things to do regardless of where I am in Catalonia.”

Noguera Pallaresa, només pels valents
Has fet rafting alguna vegada? Lauren ens explica la seva divertida aventura de descens pel riu Noguera Pallaresa.
“And a second later, I found myself somersaulting out of the raft and into the water gasping for air as I pulled myself to the surface above the rapids. The water came up to my waist, but was very powerful – as rapids tend to be! I could hear voices and not the usual ones in my head – I kid, well mostly…but couldn’t make out any words. The rapids were too loud. I wasn’t swimming, just dragging along the bottom of the river bed, knees seeming to catch every sharp rock along the way. Over the crush of the waves I saw a yellow burst of color, aka a paddle!”
L’emoció està assegurada, t’atreveixes?
El secret dels arrossos catalans
Un bon arròs acompanyat dels millors vins catalans en un marc natural espectacular. En aquest article, Laurel comparteix l’experiència de com el·laborar una bona paella a l’estil català, a l’aire lliure, i de la mà del xef Joan Marce González.
“At the risk of being hunted down, I am sharing Catalonian chef Joan Marce Gonzalez secret to perfecting a paella – Catalonian style. Note to all chefs – you can’t expect to share your secrets with a bunch of travel bloggers and have them kept as secrets. Or secrets about Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Better make that any secret. Travel bloggers are notoriously bad secret keepers. But I digress. Back to Joan Marce Gonzalez. He is also the same chef that also prepared our calcots at our Catalonian Gastronomical Event.”
