The weather has been terribly hot in July 2025. 37 degrees Celsius means my ass is cooking whenever i enter and sat in my car. My Ray Ban sunglasses feels fake because the sun’s ray still come stinging through.
Being fat also means, every step I take, I excrete 0.1g of water, so by the end of 15000 steps. I looked like I stepped out of the shower. Just that I cannot do the sexy wet hair fling because it’s stuck with sweat.
Majorca negates all of that. Everyone who’s there are on a holiday. To enjoy the sun, the sand, the sea, the food and the chilled out life.
It’s peak season. Hotels are terribly expensive but it’s not stopping anyone. They are full and busy. Its dry, its hot but what beautiful scenery if the beach life is what you are after.
Had a great time at the beach at Formentor which is by a national park. So there’s lots of shady trees which they can’t remove. Nice clear water because they is no marine bay to dock polluting boats. It’s the 1st day of the beach season, everything is opened and is rather packed with people.
Coming from Asia, I was told that I have to keep all the 3 points covered. That means the breasts and down there. So, I was rather shocked to see young ladies, mothers and grand mothers of all shapes and sizes suntanning their uh huh in the hot sun. And here I was, shy even to show my belly.
Back to Barcelona, I did more street photography. People noticed me using the phone to take pictures but they mostly do not care. But those with a big dslr, I noticed people tend to move totally out of the way.
La Rambla was packed with tourists. I can imagine why the locals are so pissed. Barcelona is not a big place after all. This is an intrusion on their everyday life, everyday prices, rentals and propert prices. But If they don’t come, you get no tourist revenue either.
Shopping remains boring. Every 100 meters is a Zara, I think I saw 3 Stradivarius shops in 15 mins walk. The variety is sadly lacking. But food is a different story. Everything I ate just taste so damn good. That’s minus the fake japanese restaurants run by Chinese and 1 dimensional salty Chinese food.
I did my walkround shots but spent only a couple of hours. Why? Because I was persuaded to eat 5 carabinero prawns. Eur52! “Other places charge Eur50 for 2. We give 5”. Lol. I fall for it everytime.
This is the example of the 200MP photo at 62 mb when taken.I then zoomed in and crop. Not too bad right ?
They were done a la planca. And almost half cooked. That’s the best because you need to preserve the natural sweetness of these red shiny prawns. Anymore cooked and it would have taste like the regular old grey prawns
And because it’s Eur 52, I ate everything. Most amazing prawns I ate in my life. The meat was nicely done, chewy yet soft enough to express that sea sweetness and saltiness. The prawn heads were obviously under cooked to keep the meat al dente. I sucked the life and souls out of them. Not a single head wasted. Almost immediately, I knew I was overdosed, it’s simply too rich. A wave of heat started flashing on my face, I felt light headed.
I returned to the hotel fearing an allergy or stomach upset……and that’s the end of my Barcelona trip. How Abrupt ! Lol.
