There are a few towns near Rodellar but we drove all the way to the capital city of Huesca for a spot of sightseeing and grocery shopping. With a population of about 50000 (but it seems we only saw a maximum of 500 people walking around LOL!!), Huesca is one of the least populated province capitals in all of Spain.
Every time I go to a city or country that I’ve never been to before, I would make it a point to visit the museum to have a better understanding of the history and culture. The Museum of Huesca is an archaeology and art museum which displays artifacts that have been discovered in the province. Unfortunately, everything is in Spanish and there are no English translations. Also, the guard was so vigilant it was quite impossible for me to take any photos.
The only person who spoke English was the staff at the Tourism centre, who was very enthusiastic about introducing us to all the places of attraction in Huesca. He also pointed us to the pedagogy museum located within the tourism centre as well as the oldest grocery shop in Spain, La Confianza.
Set up in 1871, La Confianza, which means trust in Spanish, has for sale a smorgasbord of candies, preserved fruits, meat and groceries. The shop is adorned with intricately designed shelves, antique ornaments and old school posters.

Plaza del Mercado 7, Huesca. Telephone: 34-974-222-632

Amelie Anne knows that the colour blocking trend has taken this year’s runway by storm and it’s probably the simplest fashion trend to emulate. If you find the juxtaposition of primary colours too gaudy for your liking, fret not, for subtlety is possible with colour blocking too! The Becky Colour Block Dress in Persimmon Sky from Amelie Anne is a fine example of how colour blocking and subtle elegance can go hand in hand. This Jil Sander inspired dress is from Amelie Anne’s The Label Love collection and everything from this label is specially manufactured to ensure exclusivity.

You can either wear it on its own for a clean, minimalist look or layer it with the sheer chiffon piece which comes together as a set and can be worn either over or under the dress. Here, I wore the chiffon piece under my dress.

It also doubles up as a top when you tuck it into your pencil skirt for work or into your shorts for a casual weekend lunch.;) I personally think it’s a great piece to take with you when you travel!

If sophistication and versatility are what you look out for when you shop, head on down to Amelie Anne now!

Refugio Kalandraka is the name of the little lodge that we’re currently staying in. The owner here owns Cafe Kalandraka too, which is just a stone’s throw away and opens from 6.30pm till late. This is where we have been dining every evening. The salad and lasagna here are our favourite dishes. The generous servings of cheese are enough to make me drool!For breakfast, we will venture a little further to the heart of the town, where Bar Florentino and Olvido are. Both cafes here whip up hearty breakfast meals with delicious spanish eggs (essentially sunny side up eggs that are very crispy and fluffy at the edges) and sausages.It is summer in Spain now so the sun doesn’t set till about 9 p.m. Once the sun sets, we have to make our way back to our lodge using a headlamp because it’s so dark you can’t see anything in front of you! It is quite an experience really.

We arrived at Rodellar yesterday after driving 300km. It was quite a harrowing experience as we were unfamiliar with the roads and made wrong turns around the one million roundabouts in Spain.

Gorgeous architecture, stone houses and a picturesque view of the mountains were just some of the beautiful sights that took our breath away.

Here’s presenting our quaint little cottage, our home for the next two weeks. It looks like something that came out of Heidi. I can imagine sheep running about the large expanse of greenery, but in reality, there are countless numbers of huge dogs instead.

Check out the Scandinavian decor of our little lodge. It is surprisingly homely and cozy.
