The famous Gracia festival is going on and one of the highlights is the performance of Castellers of the Villa de Gracia. Castellers form human pyramids, anywhere from 6 -10 “stories” high. The top two/three stories are teens and kids, with the top story being a kid, 5-7 years old, who scales the [...]

Next to Dubrovnik, Girona is the most gorgeous city we have been to (and Dubrovnik only takes the prize because it is next to the sea). Here are a few images.

This yacht followed us from Barca up the Costa Brava. It’s the 79th largest yacht in the world.

We have affectionately dubbed our time in Barca as “fake life”. Why? Take a look at a typical fake life day…

11:00-12:30/13:00 work out at gym

Last week, we had two of the best meals ever and they could not have been more different.
The first was a tasting menu at Cinc Sentits. We didn’t realise the restaurant was tasting menu only, which can be problematic for me (or I can be problematic for it). But the restaurant [...]

Hola! Thought we’d let people know what we’ve been up to. We’ve been in Barcelona for 3 weeks now and it is definitely feeling different than just a long vacation. We’ve done lots of exploring in the city, found a gym/beach-club, a few great local pubs, have started to venture outside of the [...]

Hola de Barcelona,
Apologies for my pathetic Spanish but I am trying. We have had a fabulous first week in Barcelona! We managed to find a good mix of relaxing, exploring and doing practical things. And of course, there has been plenty of eating and drinking.
Our flat is perfectly situated. We are [...]

Well, we have been back in the States for one very busy week and now it is time to wrap up 12dunworthmews.com. We’ve never considered ourselves as “bloggers”, but www.12dunworthmews.com has been a great way to keep in touch and to keep you all abreast of our adventures and travels in Europe. Thanks much [...]

Funny that my first trip to New York City was launched from London, but this trip was special – it was Keitika’s engagement party. For those of you who don’t know Keithika, they are our very good friends whom we met shortly after we moved to London (they are featured in The Windsor Castle [...]

It seemed a shame to be leaving London without having made it to Roma before we left so, we booked a quick trip. Our only expectations were to eat, drink and shop – and we did all three, rather excessively. Our trip began with an unexpected surprise – we were upgraded to First [...]
