I slept for the whole drive, woke up just as we were arriving and began to admire the view.
The Kingdom of Bellamar is a beautiful, coastal peninsula with a turquoise sea and golden sandy beaches, surrounded by enormous verdant mountains.
The City of Bellamar, which sits on the seafront, its narrow, winding streets are lined with buildings, with architecture that combines medieval and Renaissance influences. It has a vibrant cultural centre with a variety of theatres, art galleries and museums celebrating the Kingdom's rich history and traditions. The streets are lined with cosy cafés, local craft shops and colourful markets where locals and tourists can sample local delicacies and buy unique souvenirs.
The political and cultural heart of the kingdom lies in the majestic Royal Palace of Bellamar, an architectural masterpiece that dominates the city skyline. With tall towers and glittering domes, the palace is a symbol of power and prestige, home to the Royal Family who rule with wisdom and benevolence.
The citizens of the Kingdom of Bellamar are known for their warm hospitality and welcoming spirit. They are proud of their heritage and are committed to preserving the traditions and values that make Bellamar so special.
According to the internet and Carlos' confirmation, Bellamar is known for its vibrant social life, with festivals and cultural events taking place throughout the year. Traditional celebrations, such as religious festivals and seasonal fairs, attract locals and visitors from all over the kingdom. At night, the town comes alive with the music and laughter emanating from its bars and pubs, where locals gather to share stories and create memories.
Finally, we arrived at the house where we would be living for the next few days. It was by the sea, a sort of wooden and stone cottage, very cosy. It's in a small cove, so you can see the sea from almost every corner of the house.
We parked the car and went inside to see the house and organise the rooms.
Inside, the house is very comfortable and has a super relaxed vibe. There's a living room with a huge sofa and a fireplace that's great when the weather gets cold. The kitchen is nice too, it has everything you need to cook and a big table to get the group together to eat. In the bedrooms upstairs, it's very quiet and there's an incredible view of the sea. Around the house, there's a garden full of beautiful plants and flowers, and there's a path that leads straight down to the beach. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature!
- Let's have lunch and then I'll show you the city, what do you think? - asks Carlos, interrupting my wonder at the house.
- Come on, where are you going to take us? - Rosa says
- My aunt Alda owns a typical local restaurant called " Bellamar's Corner". We can have the Tropical Delight made with grilled white fish fillets and served with a tropical sauce of passion fruit, lemon, butter and coriander, it's very good, believe me, and then for dessert we'll have the Sea Cake made with layers of vanilla cake interspersed with coconut cream and decorated with fresh tropical fruit such as mango, passion fruit and kiwi. These two dishes are typical and original to this restaurant, the King always has these two dishes on the menu whenever he hosts a party...
Carlos explained more about the history of the dishes and the restaurant and their connection to royalty as we walked there. When we arrived, we sat down and ordered what Carlos suggested. Suddenly a tall, dark-haired man dressed in elegant clothes enters, with an air of distinction, and there is an exchange of glances between the two of us, causing the world around us to disappear and only we exist.
