DAY TRIP TO RONDA

With only 2 days left in our Spain trip, Adrian and I headed to a town called Ronda for the day. It’s a city on a mountain with so much history and even more character. I enjoyed walking through the cobblestone streets and taking in the outrageous views!

One thing we learned in Ronda is the people survive off three important things: bread, wine, and olive oil. In just this view alone there is a wheat farm in the far back, a winery in the center and an olive tree farm to the right.

Looks like I could survive just fine here. Anyone else with me?

We had a late lunch in the restaurant on the first balcony from the left, Hotel Montelirio. If you follow me on Instagram, you got to see the freakin-amazing view right from our table. (Check out the picture here)

We visited the Plaza de Toro, which is the largest bull fighting ring in the world!

I’m comin’ for ya.

It was fun to watch this little kid attempt to feed the birds. Rather than throw food to them, he threw them at them.

#MYMANSGOTSTYLE

Weather it be a simple white v-neck or the way he puts together his accessories…#MYMANSGOTSTYLE. I know it and you know it.

If I had to describe his style in one word, it would be: unpredictable. He’s a very simple and classic gentlemen who loves his suits and clean edges but loves to add an element of surprise with a print or color. If I could guess which is his favorite thing in his closet, it would be: his grandfather’s watch. If I’m wrong, it has to be his Sperrys boaters….cause he has them in almost every color.

During our trip in Spain, I couldn’t help but snap photos of him to document his daily style.

my favorite picture of him. it’s being framed and going in my room!

La Rambla + La Boqueria were two of my favorite spots in Barcelona. What’s better than food? Not many things. Adrian and I enjoyed walking through the markets and checking out all the olive oils, spices, meat, fish and fresh fruit juices! There was so much beautiful color, smells and delicacies. We wanted to try everything. If I ever visit Barcelona again, I’m definitely going back there.

BARCELONA: DAY 1 (We’re Engaged!!)

BARCELONA ENGAGEMENT

It’s hard to adjust to “normal life” when you’re coming back from the most amazing trip ever. After being in Marbella for already a week, we jetted off to Barcelona for a weekend getaway the both of us will never forget and I will keep it in my heart forever. We had to visit some websites to get to know the best tours available for us, so that we could tailor our trip ourselves. The above shot is the view from our rooftop balcony in our hotel room (which made this trip even cooler) right before a celebratory dinner. But now let’s rewind and take you through the whole day leading up to what I know you want to know most about: Our Engagement.

Pictures don’t do any justice to the amazing architecture in Barcelona. This is a picture inside the Catedral de Santa Maria del Mar

All the streets and alleyways had so much character day and night. I loved walking through them seeing all the cute and quaint balconies.

After catching the bus, we arrived to Parc Guell. What I thought was a “park”, hence the choice of mini-dress attire, was a gorgeous mountain with beautiful flowers, mosiac details and funky architecture. I’m surprised I didn’t fall or bump into a wall because I was looking around in awe the entire time.

Adrian and I climbed all the way to the top and sat together to take in this view of sunny Barcelona. I was sitting there just thinking how amazing our day was already and the day hadn’t even ended…it was just getting started.

Adrian took the opportunity of us being on the top of the mountain, just the two of us, to casually say this was a perfect picture opportunity to not move or look back “you’re in the perfect spot”.

After hearing the camera click a few times, Adrian asked me if I wanted to see the photo, so I immediately turned to see this “perfect shot” and there he was….behind me on one knee. Caught by [extreme] surprise I froze and began to cry because I knew exactly what was about to happen….”Ashley, will you marry me?”

I cried. I laughed. I jumped on him and gave him the biggest hug. I cried some more. I almost forgot to say yes!!!

I said yes. He put the ring on and said the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard in my entire life and we just stared at the ring and at eachother and looked out at the view.

What I thought was the best day…just got A MILLION TIMES BETTER. We’re engaged. A dream come true and I can’t wait to start the rest of my life with my hunk of a fiancé!
