La Métropole
Pointe-à-Pitre is the largest town of Guadeloupe. It is located on the eastern Guadeloupe island, named Grande-Terre. Guadeloupe island (aka the butterfly of Caribbeans) is indeed made of two main islands (wings), Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre, divided by a string of sea. Despite that fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and cholera have been afflicting the citizens of this town for the last 300 years, Pointe-à-Pitre is still there with its delicious, albeit decadent French colonial style. West from the central Place de la Victoire (victory on slavery, 1794) you find the modern commercial part. East of it there are artist areas, red-light districts and the modern Museum on Slavery.
If you are a photographer, keep it down when you move to the red-light district even in day-light. “F*ck you” sounds cute with a French accent but faces look still aggressive … not an area to visit by night, with or without camera equipment.

Sardinia welcomes
Either because of its sandy beaches, deep blue seas, religious traditions, unique food choices, ancient history and rich cities, Sardegna will always call your memories back there. Just after you enjoyed it, and every time you will choose your next summer holiday location.
After rocky North-Western shores of S’Archittu du Cuglieri, jewels bays and industrial archeology of Nebida in the South-West and Chia sandy beaches in the South, this year came the time of Villasimius and the South East. Follow us in the next weeks and discover shores and trails in the area bordered by the Natural Marine Area of Capo Carbonara in the South and the rich archeological site of Su Nuraxi in the North, the multi-faced city of Cagliary towards West and Peppino’s sea rock East. Each time a different location, each time a different welcome: warm or shy, rich or poor.. but never disappointing. Editing by Maria Francesca, photography by Lorenzo Borghi.
