Mijas The town of Blue and White


Mijas - a little quaint town not far from the Malaga, is situated at the heart of "Costa de Sol" or literally known as the "Coast of the Sun".

It almost reminds you of Greece, with similar hues of Izmir Blue and Cobalt White, but what is different is the sea breeze and the charm of a traditional Andalucian village. Mijas was devoted to agriculture and fisheries but nowadays, it is a sun-decked village with rows of lavender, jasmine and colorfully potted charm. 

You can also take donkey taxi here!

Despite of its narrow paths and cobblestone side street, it is hard to be lost in this town, as it only takes about an hour or so to cover the whole ground. Figuratively, this is an artist town, full of colorful ceramic plates, leather artisan goods, scented olive oil soaps, to be honest this is a town that feels good to be lost!

The beauty of Halstatt

Come here to stroll the cobbled streets, and breathe in the astounding view of Halstatt.

Halstatt is a magical place. In winter, you see snow flakes fall, and drizzle the mountain tops like ice-cream glaze. In summer, walk through the market square, jump into the river for a swim, and wake up in a morning of misty air.







No words can easily describe its charm. Apart from the view, there are quaint shops of all kinds -- wood works, ceramic plates, napkins of intricate designs. To me this place feels humane and unworldly.
