Kingdom of Bahrain with Ghadeer and Fay Part 1

Bahrain here we go!


Last weekend was holiday in Kuwait, National and Liberation Day... Not much to do but sit at home watching tv o playing video games with the kids, thats why when Ghadeer invited me to go for a quick break to Bahrain I couldnt say no.

We stayed at the new hotel Art Rotana at Amwaj Island, not far from the airport. The hotel is new and its a fantastic place to go with family and Friends. It has a long beach and two Swimming pools to enjoy during the day (the time for the daylight is the same as in Kuwait, by 5.45 pm it starts to get dark).

The hotel has a bar where you can take some drinks but be aware because it was full of Saudis and other nationalities and its just a lounge, not a place where to celebrate parties. The rooms are big and comfortable and breakfast ok!, I always eat the same in this places, my Brown toasts with olive oil, but if you love salad, eggs or sweets there you´ll find everything.


Street art Adliya
The first day we decided to go to the Adliya área, cool área full of nice restaurants, I´ve heard that a Kuwaiti guy living in Bahrain owns all the area and he really did a good work. There is art every where and a good spot where to charge batteries. We stoped at Café Italia. Nice, clean, good food and good drinks but a Little expensive. after that we went to Al Muharrak, the souk of Bahrain to take a look at the old constructions, a couple of nice places and a tea at a classic in the souq, and then some beers at the restaurant mall just infront of our hotel.... Back for a rest because we needed it.

Yes, We love Bahrain!










Early breakfast (toast and coffee) at the hotel and a must in your visit to Bahrain: one of their old forts that was renovated a couple of years ago and of course the National Museum, fantastic Building in a super big área infront of the sea.

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...

Palestinian Cultural Center Exhibition

Palestinian Culture Center www.palestinianculture.org Pincha aquí / click here para ver la ubicación del evento  Este era de mis planes favoritos cuando vivía en Kuwait, me han enviado la información del evento e inmediatamente he pensado en compartíroslo, ya que compartir es de guapas, como dice La Vecina Rubia.  No dejéis de comprar una de sus piezas de cerámica pintadas por mujeres Palestinas en exclusión, refugiadas y con vidas muy muy difíciles. Las aceitunas, los dulces y las galletas saladas eran mis favoritas.  This was one of my favourite plans while living in Kuwait. This association helps women in social exclusion living in as refugees in Lebanon, don´t miss the exhibition and please buy one of the fabric pieces or handpainted pottery. And try their olives or biscuits... love them.
