The Trapa Trip

Howdy, sweeties!

Last Saturday, the hubz invited me for a chocolate buying trip at Trapa somewhere in Palencia, Spain. So I put on my long knitted dress/ vest, pair of purple tights for color:

 knitted vest/ dress- Pull & Bear, tights- Zara

a pair of colorful floral earrings because the weather felt like spring:

 earrings- local store

a pair of studded booties ( my first!) and a gray bag:

bag- Zara, studded booties- local store

Et voila, ready to go! :)


Little did I know that I was a bit under dressed for a very cold day. The temperature stayed between 5 to 6 C all day and it was foggy and cloudy even on the way back home!  Have you tried traveling at night where there´s almost zero visibility on the road because of the fog? It was scary! Good thing by time we´re halfway home, the fog had already lifted. What a relief. Nevertheless, we had fun the whole day. ;)


We also visited the Monasterio de San Isidro de Dueñas which was on the other side of the factory. Trapa chocolates were first made inside this monastery more than a century ago by the Trappist monks. So yeah, that´s where the chocolate got it´s name, from the monks who first made them. Then they sold the rights to a Spanish company but the ingredients are still based from the old recipe.


So if you happen to pass by Palencia in one of your road trips on the way to Salamanca or Portugal, you´ll know where to stop by to buy authentic Spanish chocolates on this side of Spain. You won´t miss the store/factory because you´ll smell the chocolate from a few kilometers away. ;)


So dahlings, where have you been last weekend? ;)

Wanting to know,

Che

I love the whole outfit but maybe I would pair it with a knee high boots ;).

Che, we always experience zero visibility couple of times/year. And speaking of weekends, our is quite lazy since our weather really sucks and if I remember it right our temperature last weekend was -7C and on top of that, really dark and gloomy w/c was perfect for movie marathon ;))

Your color accents are just what the outfit needed.

My weekend was spent shopping and having coffee with a dear friend... in Paris, where else!
Purple is my fave color!

I love the knitted vest! It looks so cosy.

Sounds like a really cold day though, but also looks fun. Chocolate buying is my favourite thing to do.
