“I love traveling the unbeaten track, the less people that have crossed through, the better,” says Andréa Drottholm, owner of one of Barcelona’s leading vacation apartment rental agencies, Akaza. This young Swedish entrepreneur has sailed the Seven Seas and has no plans to stop traveling.

When Andréa is not riding on the back of a motorcycle across the Himalayas or beach-combing in Cozumel, she’s sitting pretty on a docked sailboat in Barcelona’s harbor and managing her business from a central office in Barcelonetta.

“I’d always wanted to live on a houseboat. And now I live on a sailboat. Who knows? Maybe one day I’ll cut the ropes and sail around the world,” joked Andréa about her unique living arrangement.

The other day when I was walking home from work, I passed by this small place. I had seen it before, but I never really paid any attention to it. I don’t know why, but it did not give me any special wipe. Not until this Monday in early February.

Strawberries. Large, red strawberries. They just looked at me; they send me this special wipe I have not had in many months, not since summer last year. The sun was shining, it was almost like spring, so I crossed the street to take a closer look at these red beauties.

3 euros 50 cents for one kilo of strawberries. I just had to buy them! I bought them and carefully, I carried them home with me.

The sun was still shining when I sat on the balcony enjoying my first red, sweet strawberries of the year. This is what Barcelona can offer you in February: Red and Sweet Sensations, your first strawberries under the sun.
