KIngdom of Bahrain with Ghadeer and Fay Part 2

After visiting the National Museum of the Kingdom of Bahrain, that I already told you that it is incredible, we went to one of the most nicest restaurants we have been in this visit. It's called "Villa Mama" and it belongs to a Bahraini lady that cooks the typical food of her country with a twist of modernity. The place was crowded and luckily we contacted her through her Instagram account @villamama and we were able to book a table. The food was delicious!!! too sugary the juices ,next time mafi sugar! and incredible cakes. Another "must" in your visit to Bahrain but the pity is that it is a little far from everything. Some extra tips, expensive and dry restaurant * no alcohol.

 Villa Mama, with its cosy decoration and fantastic food


After that we needed a break and we rested at the hotel that has fantastic views of the sunset and the we got ready for "La Fontain" a splendid old building for multipurpose. A Gallery, a spa, many ballrooms for different events and a fantastic restaurant. The food was not my favorite but the ambience was fantastic for a dinner date with friends.


La Fontaine, nice place for a visit and a romantic dinner.


Masso, impossible with out booking
Woke up in the morning, light breakfast and quick visit to the supermarket in the Amwaj area for some pork/souvenirs. Very good prices, by the way.
Brunch at "Masso" the coolest place in Bahrain. Only weekends for brunch but breakfast, lunch and dinners everyday of the week. Don't forget to make a reservation if you are a big group. The food was also amazing, the place nicely decorated and clean, the service incredibly good educated (didnt hear one single sir/madam) and all you can eat or drink included (I took Champain all over the meal)
And after that quickly to the airport, my Gulf Air plane was waiting for me.
Last thing, I can not say enough times thank you to my dear Ghadeer that invited me to have this wonderful experience, she was not only my friend but also the best guide in the city. I will never be able to thank you enough. Also many kisses to lovely Fay who made the weekend a peaceful experience. She is full of all this calm that I have a lack of. I love you both.


The three of us! Love you girls!!

Spanish fashion in Kuwait | Moda Española en Kuwait II parte

As we discussed in previous post, the Spanish fashion has a big representation here. Once again, the Inditex group is in all world and markets but "Not only of Zara can the human being dress", right? Companies such as Condor have been installed in this country for a long time and that for moms like me who like the quality and variety of brand socks is helpful (in Baroue find them). Hoss Intropia is also in Kuwait (In The Avenues Mall) rather more expensive than in Spain but the truth is that it's good to go to the store and see the richness of the fabrics and skill in designing clothes. I have a dress that once landed in Bilbao I'll see if I can still find it and buy it.  And we are also fortunate to have Adolfo Dominguez (also in The Avenues Mall) the store is huge and has the entire collection including U the young brand. Something I realy miss is a good brand of Spanish Shoes with good prices. We are lucky to have  Pretty Ballerinas and from time to time Casta...

Olímpicas en Londres | Olympics in London

Llevo varios días viendo la misma campaña de publicidad de la revista Marie Claire y ha sido mi hijo A* el que me ha contado que la prota era una de las dos mujeres que han representado a Kuwait en las olimpiadas de 2012 en Londres. Faye Sultan es la primera mujer en ir a las olimpiadas para la prueba de 50 mts libre de natación. U ltimó su entrenamiento en el centro de alto rendimiento de Calella donde se grabó esta entrevista . Creo que quedó séptima. La chica es mona y la verdad es que el departamento de producción ha hecho un gran trabajo. Seguro que habéis visto su video del making off  en NYC en todas las pantallas del país, y digo pantallas por que aquí la publicidad por todas partes se ofrece en movimiento a través de pantallas de tv (Leds, supongo). La moza tiene 18 años y mide 1.82 mts así que podría dedicarse a esto si con la natación o la universidad donde ha empezado este año no le va bien. Os dejo una imagen de ella entrando al estadio olí...
