my week in españa

gc--22

New silk shirt and sunglasses. The day we went shopping all the sales were just starting, and since I love all those spanish shops (Zara, Mango, Massimo Dutti) it was just perfect. The prices are already in normal price much cheaper than in Finland! Though we are still missing Massimo Dutti…

Uusi silkkipaita ja aurinkolasit. Meillä oli täydellinen ajoitus lähteä shoppailemaan, kun kaikki espanjalaiset ketjuliikkeet juuri aloittivat alennusmyyntinsä (Zara, Mango, Massimo Dutti) Kaikki oli jo normaalihintaisenakin halvempaa, täydellistä! Voisiko joku muuten tuoda Massimo Dutin Suomeen? :-D

We stayed at the same hotel as last year: Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort Spa & Casino. I can recommend this hotel to everyone traveling to Gran Canaria, I have nothing bad to say! It’s just beautiful, clean, the service is good, and the hotel is so big.

Oltiin samassa hotellissa kuin vuosi sitten: Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort Spa & Casino. Voin suositella tätä paikkaa kaikille Gran Canariaan lähteville!

Someone there was wondering was it really 30 degrees there, but yes, there really was a couple really hot days!

Muutamat siellä ihmettelivät oliko todella 30 astetta, niin kyllä vain, pari päivää oli oikeita hellepäiviä!

My new bag, also found from the sales…

Uusi nahkalaukku, aleista löydettyä myöskin…

Amazing view from one of the pools, with the sea and the sunset behind it..

Yhdeltä altaalta oli niin hieno näky aina auringonlaskun aikaan, kun takaa näkyi vielä meri..

    Oi miten ihana postaus! Nyt todellakin tuli ikävä lämpöä, rantaa ja lomaa mitä kaikkea kesällä on! Mut onneks on viel hiihtoloma ja pääsiäinen niin joitain lomii ennen ihanaa kesälomaa! Teidän hotelli näyttää tosi kivalta ja varmaan oli ihanaa olla täältä kylmästä Suomesta pois viikko lämmössä.. (:

  2. Edit says:

    I absolutely love your outfits!! :) I have two questions I really hope you can answer!

    1) Is it long time since you bought the skirt from Vero Moda?
    2) Your bag from Zara, black with golden zips, is it heavy?

    Thank you for your answers!
    Greetings from Norway :)

    Looks like you had a really nice and luxurious time! (and you are pretty as always :) )

    Beautiful pics!! That is the reason why Canary Islands are known as the lucky islands.
    We don’t have that great weather here in the north of spain. Hope you enjoyed your trip.

    I loved my trip to Tenerife in 2008. It was so beautiful. Couple of weeks ago I went to Egypt (Sharm el Sheikh) and it was so warm there. It was a well needed vacation because Estonian summer was so cold this year.
    I’m missing Egyptian weather right now. It is so cold here right now.

  6. Maria says:

    Amazing photos! i already miss my favorite hotel. I spent one week there last summer and it was awesome, especially the main swimming-pool you photographed. :)

  7. Christal says:

    OMG! I’m so jealousss but you look fantastic! Especially all of these outfits ugghhh I am drooling for summer weather again. It’s too cold here in NYC >>.<<

    Oh my gawd. those pictures made me miss summer soooooo hard haha. I wish I was there. Beautiful pictures marianna! the hotel looks so good and I luv your outfits!

  9. Marika says:

    Aivan ihania kuvia! Tosiaankin on ikävä kesää ja vielä enemmän näiden kuvien jälkeen. Minun puolesta voitaisiin jättää koko talvi väliin ja elää aina kesässä. Syksy ja kevät on ihan kivoja vähän aikaa, mutta talvi korkeintaan joulun yli.

  10. Paulina says:

    Wooooww, seems like paradise! You are so lucky! I miss summer so much…
    So many great photos. I love the outfit with your new bag, it’s amazing.
    xoxo!

  11. Meeri says:

    Miksi sun kuvat lataa jotenkin tosi huonosti aina? Vaikka sivu ois täysin ladannut, niin kuvien kohdalla on vain tyhjää ja ne tulee näkyviin vasta kun on scrollaillut vähän alaspäin ja menee sitten taas ylös… Johtuu varmaan jotenkin Costumen sivuista, kun ei kyllä aina ole noin oudosti mennyt? Tekee blogin lukemisesta tosi ärsyttävää!

    Missing Summer? I’m definitely in need of some hot warm weather after this miserable cold weather we’re having in London. Your pictures look lovely. I’ve always wanted to visit the Canaries but haven’t had the chance to quite yet. Thanks for the hotel recommendation and love all the pieces you picked up on sale ! Yay

  13. Malena says:

    Sorry for the question but it looks as if you didn’t go anywhere outside the hotel (with the only exception of shops). Didn’t you do any sightseeing? Don’t you like it?

  14. Rebecca says:

    I’m REALLY missing the summer right now after looking at these pictures. It looks like you had such an amazing holiday in Gran Canaria. The pictures are amazing! :) xx

  15. Gośka says:

    So you must visit Poland! I think everything is much cheaper than in Finladn and cities like Cracow or Warsaw are beautiful. Think about it xox

  16. Simona says:

    Your photos are beautiful as you! Thank you for share and for advices, I live in Canary Islands but didn’t know Massimo Dutti, I will visit soon :)))

  17. silvie says:

    Wonderful! But don´t worry – the prices in zara atd in the Czech republic are in normal price still much expensive than in your country. So prices in Spain in comparison the Czech Rep. is really sad.

  18. Denise says:

    Your pictures are awesome as always ♥
    Seems like you had an amazing trip and the hotel looks so lovely!!
    Hope you had the time to rest a bit after such a busy year so you’re fully loaded to rock this year again ;)

    Love, Denise

    That hotel is picture perfect! I love the pretty scenery everywhere – I’d never leave!
    Your skirt in the last outfit is gorgeous and the MK watch is the perfect accessory.

    Hey there, Marianna! I hope you can answer this. Do you have a tumblr? I think there is a girl on tumblr pretending to be you: voluptass.tumblr.com.

    I sincerely hope this is your tumblr because I’d hate to think that someone is getting away with this. Also, if it is not you, you may want to contact the owner of the blog!

    Hi Marianna!
    I would like to help you find fake profiles of you on the internet, there are way to many already and lot of people don’t know that they are fake profiles because they haven’t really heard of your blog yet. It would be nice to show the rest of the world who you really are :) and just because there only is one mariannan on this world.( at least for me)

    Oh my gosh! I went to this hotel about 12 times now! So great to see it on ur blog. When I was a kid my parents started taking me and my sister there and as it was so amazing they never wanted to go anywhere else lol. So these days its like a familythings, being 20 years old now, i dont have a choice i have to come along lol. 2012 I was travelling Australia for a year, so we didn’t go but now I m in New Zealand and my parents already keep asking me when i ll be back cos they want to book it for the summer haha. its really beautiful there and i love the buffet!

    • marianna says:

      Wow really! The same happened to my family, though this was only our second time since we found the place year ago. But it’s gorgeous! And yes, the breakfast buffet <3 Yum!
