Blue Jellybeans Top Ten

When I was little (I don't like the sound of "when I was young"...) I used to listen to a show on the radio called American Top 40 with Casey Kasem, I loved it and every week I will listen to it for hours. Well, with this show in mind I leave you with the …

Rota

Yesterday we went to Rota. A small town, located in the northern tip of the Bay of Cadiz, southwest of Western Andalusia and bathed by the Atlantic.

Coconut and pineapple cupcakes
