First Date: Toledo, Spain

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 21, 2013 Travel and Adventures

ShareOn my first stay in Spain, over twenty years ago, I was living at my friend’s flat in Madrid, only a quick jaunt to Toledo by car and an easy 35-minute train ride from the Atocha station. In those summer days of teen-hood, my friend and I were more intent on savoring and sampling the […]

Oh My Gaudi! Being Broadsided by Casa Batllo in Barcelona

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 18, 2012 Travel and Adventures

Share I didn’t think I would like Gaudi. In fact, from what I had seen, I thought his creations were flamboyant, showy and, well…gaudy. Thank goodness it rained that fateful day in Spain. I was in Barcelona and, being the dutiful tourist, I of course was going to mark off having visited the obligatory […]

Six Reasons to Savor Spain

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 28, 2011 Travel and Adventures

ShareFlamenco: I was first blessed with the good fortune to enjoy authentic, rustic and spontaneous flamenco in Madrid during the summer I spent there in my wide-eyed eighteenth year. I stayed with my American girlfriend who was living there and had fettered out the best local places for food-ing, disco-ing and flamenco gawking. Let’s just […]

The Serendipity of Traveling Solo – Or, Why There is No “of course!” in the Italian Language

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 12, 2011 Travel and Adventures

ShareI won’t gloss it over for you. I will not profess to “love traveling alone” because, at times, frankly, it gets kind of lonesome. But I will proclaim emphatically that some of my most cherished travel moments have come from doing just that: venturing out on my own. “A journey is like marriage. The certain […]

Crazy Aunt Club – I’ve Been Inducted!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 28, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareIt’s official. I have evolved (or degraded) into the quirky, eccentric aunt everyone either wants or dreads or somewhere-in-between. You know, the non-conforming aunt with no children, who has no social restraints imposed by fellow parents or schools or society to behave in a respectable and modest fashion. The one who travels, downs hot spicy […]

Spain-i-licious Serendipity: Bar Hopping in BCN

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 13, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareI found a bar in Barcelona. I know – amazing, right? To find a place for cocktails in the self-proclaimed party capital of Spain, the fiesta capital of the world. It is called BAR-celona, haha. But, you see, those other bars, they don’t have Estefania, a Windex-wielding, hip shaking, singing camarera. Allow me to start […]

Olive Me – Why Not Take Olive Me?

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 11, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareWhole olives or olive oil? As we flew into Seville, Spain, our plane passed over vast groves of olive trees…so appropriate a welcome. I can’t help but wonder what is consumed more – olives in their tasty, meaty entirety? Or the olive oil that goes into virtually every dish? Even at breakfast the Sevillanos drizzle […]
