Nestled at an altitude of more than 2,400 metres, this lake of glacial origin is part of the spectacular Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, where every year more than half a million people come to breathe in the purity and mystery of its fauna and flora. Surrounded by towering peaks such as the Tuc de Saburó and the Pic de la Mainera, this glacial treasure is just one of the twenty-six intertwined lakes of the Vall Fosca.

Imagine walking on ice, where water dances between meanders and flows from lake to lake in an endless cycle. But the magic of Colomina does not end with its waters, the park, with its more than 40,000 hectares, becomes a sanctuary for deer, marmots and golden eagles, while black pines and firs steal your breath along the paths.

Here, where the journey transforms in every season, temperatures can drop relentlessly and the wind shapes the snow into ephemeral works of art, adventure is guaranteed. To visit the Estany de Colomina is to immerse yourself in the untouched majesty of nature and rediscover the senses!

Seventy-six years ago today, on June 12, 1944, Big Bend officially became a US national park. The park covers more than 800,000 acres in West Texas along the Mexico border. This vast area—big enough to swallow Rhode Island—contains mountain, river, and desert ecosystems, including the largest protected area of the Chihuahuan Desert in the United States. Far removed from any urban centers and the light pollution that comes with them, Big Bend boasts some of the darkest skies you'll find in the Lower 48, earning it a designation as an international dark sky park. Even after 76 years, Big Bend still glows.

This Lambretta scooter, decked out with extra mirrors, lights, and horns, is an iconic symbol of the mod subculture. Attendees at Purple Weekend, a mod-revival festival held every year in León, Spain, will see many Lambretta and Vespa scooters. The popular event held this weekend gathers fans of mod music, fashion, and culture. The mod movement began in England in the late 1950s, as modern jazz and rhythm & blues records imported from the US sparked the clean-cut, modernist fashion and lifestyle aesthetic that appealed to a new middle class of young people in postwar Britain. The fashion, scooters, and music choices caught on outside the UK during the 1960s and inspired future generations to embrace the style. Now, mod revival festivals like Spain’s Purple Weekend happen in many countries around the world.
