Zaka zingapo zapitazo, ndidalemba nkhani pagawo langa la Hotel Insights yamutu wakuti "Nthano ya zinyumba zitatu." Zinali zowunikira chithumwa komanso kukwanitsa kukhala m'malo ogona achilendo mukamayenda ku Europe.
Ngati kukumbukira kwanga kumanditumikirabe molondola, imodzi mwa “nyumba zachifumu” inali m’chigawo cha Haute Savoie ku France ndipo ina inali kumpoto chakum’maŵa kwa dera la Costa Brava ku Spain. Yotsirizirayi inali imodzi mwazomwe ndimakonda kwambiri ndipo inali pafupi ndi tauni yakale ya Pals.
Chapafupi, m’tauni yaing’ono ya Pujol, munali nyumba yaing’ono yachinyumba ya Gala, mkazi wopatulidwa wa Salvador Dali. Dali ankakhala pa mtunda wa makilomita 25 m’kanyumba kakang’ono ka m’mphepete mwa nyanja ku Port Lligat.
Chifukwa chokhala kutalikirana, iwo akanalinganiza misonkhano panthaŵi imene onse amavomereza.
Izi, mpaka pano, "castle" yosatchulidwa dzina, komanso nyumba yogona alendo, inali Mas de Torrent. Dali ndi Gala akadakhala kuti ali moyo lero, mwina akanakumana kuno, chifukwa kunali kofanana pakati pa nyumba zawo. Mas de Torrent ndi kwa ine… nyumba kutali ndi kwathu.

Ku Europe kuli malo ogona ang'onoang'ono awa omwe nthawi zambiri amakhala otsika mtengo kuposa kukhala ku Holiday Inn kwanuko. Akupatsanso Airbnb ndalama zawo.
Paulendo wopita Kummwera kwa Spain, ndinaganiza zoyesa imodzi mwa mahotela ang’onoang’onowa m’tauni ya m’mphepete mwa nyanja ya Palamos pa Costa Brava. Ndiyenera kuvomereza kuti ndinali ndi mantha pang'ono popeza Nyumba ya Inn inkatchedwa Casa Vincke (casa kutanthauza nyumba) ndipo ndinadziona ndekha ndikukhala limodzi ndi banja la Spain, popanda malo othawira.
Sindinadabwe kwambiri. Chipinda chokonzedwa bwino mu Catalan Villa yobwezeretsedwa bwino chikuyembekezeka. Ndi zipinda zisanu ndi zinayi zokha (ndi zinayi zokha zomwe zidakhala paulendo wanga), malingaliro onse anali amtendere komanso abata. Mukasungitsa, nambala imatumizidwa ku foni yam'manja yolola kulowa pabwalo lalikulu, ndiyeno fungulo limapezeka nthawi yomweyo. Ichi ndi chinthu chofunikira kwa omwe amafika usiku kwambiri ali paulendo.
M’maŵa mwake ndinayenera kunyamuka mofulumira kupita ku Valencia, doko langa lotsatira. Sindinaloledwe kuchoka popanda Isabel, wogwira ntchito m'nyumba akundikakamiza kulowa m'chipinda chodyera kuti ndimwe kapu yamadzi alalanje ndi khofi wamphamvu wa Chisipanishi; Ndikungolakalaka ndikanakhala ndi nthawi yochuluka yosangalala ndi kufalikira kwa kadzutsa!
Kwa maulendo apamsewu aku Europe (komanso kukhala nthawi yayitali), ndimayang'ana nyuzipepala yaku Britain, The Telegraph. Ndime yake ya Malo Opitako ndi imodzi mwazabwino kwambiri zomwe ndawerengapo ndipo nthawi zambiri imatchula mahotela apamwamba kwambiri m'magulu osiyanasiyana komanso mitengo yazipinda. Pano ndi nambala yoyamba pamndandanda wawo wa Valencia, inali nyumba zogona za Barracart, zomwe zimayendetsedwa ndi mabanja mu zomwe zimatchedwa "malo owoneka bwino a m'mphepete mwa nyanja." Zimenezi zinachititsa chidwi changa, ndipo ndinawaimbira foni. Ndinalandilidwa mwansangala ndi manijala, Olga Juhasz. Chipinda changa chili chotetezedwa, ndidadziwitsidwanso kuti bungwe loyang'anira mabanja ili limayang'aniranso malo odyera olemekezeka a Casa Montana komwe ndikhala ndikudyera usiku womwewo.
Malo anga omalizira pa ulendo wa ku Spain umenewu anali Jerez de la Frontera ku Andalucia, likulu la mafakitale a sherry ku Spain. Bambo anga anali atayendera chigawochi kumayambiriro kwa zaka za m'ma XNUMX ndipo analemba mozama za zosangalatsa za Jerez de la Frontera komanso Sanlucar, pafupi ndi gombe.
Chimene chinam’sangalatsa kwambiri chinali chikondwerero chapachaka cha Vendemia kapena chotuta vinyo m’September kumene mwambo wa “kudalitsa mphesa” unkachitika. Ndinkafuna kufufuza gawo ili la Spain limene bambo anga ankakonda kwambiri, lomwe linkakweza mahatchi a vinyo ndi flamenco.
Ndikuyang'ananso ku Telegraph kuti mundiwuzeko komwe ndingakhale, chidwi changa chidadzutsidwa nthawi yomweyo ndi dzina loti "Casa." "Casa Vina de Alcantara," ndi nyumba yoyengedwa bwino yomwe idayamba kumayambiriro kwa zaka za m'ma 1900. Telegraph idapatsa 8/10 rating ndi mtengo wokwanira kuti ayambe.
Komabe, sindinakhumudwenso, popeza nyumba yakumudzi iyi inali ya banja la a Gonzales-Byass pomwe dziko lawo limathawa. Gonzales-Byass akhala akuchita bizinesi yopanga sherry yabwino kwambiri kuyambira pomwe idakhazikitsidwa mu 1835.
Pokondwera kukumana ndi eni ake a Casa Vina, ndinatengedwa mwamsanga monga chiŵalo cha banjalo, ndipo tsiku langa lotsatira ku Jerez linalinganizidwa kaamba ka ine ndi ulendo wa Gonzales Byass Bodega.
Nyumba zachifumu, nyumba zogona alendo, ndi anthu okongola modabwitsa ofotokoza nkhani, bwerani nane paulendo wanga wodutsa ku Spain.
Pali maulendo ambiri oyenda kunja uko, ndipo pokonzekera pang'ono, akhoza kukhala osangalatsa, ngati sizochitika zabwino.
