Jaume Fatjó, director of the Foundation chair Affinity Animals and Health, a clinical veterinarian from Vet Partners, gives us some useful tips for traveling with a dog or cat. When traveling by car with a dog, they must first get used to the vehicle. It's not advisable to take a long trip if the animal is unfamiliar with the car or van. This requires learning: starting with short trips with a pleasant experience (using toys or treats, for example). These can be gradually lengthened. However, the response will vary greatly depending on each dog's personality. If there is an initial negative reaction, Fatjó recommends contacting the veterinarian, who can provide medication to prevent motion sickness or dietary supplements to help them cope better with stressful situations.

The city of Gafsa, located on the imaginary line that delimits southern Tunisia with the north, is considered the major communications hub connecting these two disparate geographical areas. The city is also a must-see after a nine-hour train ride from the capital, Tunis, to enter that part of the country; the body deserves a break.

Mine opened a few months ago and blends Scandinavian design with architecture. feng shui, the Chinese technique of Taoist origin that seeks balance.

This Monday we completed the trip to the Puglia region organized by ARA with around thirty subscribers, and we returned strengthened by the conviction that, in a Western world that tends toward cultural imitation and substitution, Italy endures. The aesthetic emotions of a façade, frescoes, cuisine... are genuine. The language has, indeed, surrendered somewhat to the invasive species of English, capable of leaving ugly stains even on this well-constructed edifice that is Italian. But, recounted and discussed, no matter how similar we are in the Romanesque style, in the olive trees (it says they have planted sixty million), in the same sea, and in a shared past of great military powers, one sets foot and knows that one has crossed a border.

Whiteout, sometimes translated as white storm, is a situation in which the white of the fog, the low clouds and the snow make you lose all spatial reference. It is also the title of a mystery novel by the Icelandic writer Ragnar Jónasson, one of those Nordic authors who have become fashionable in recent years. Here and now, as we drive through the north of his country in the middle of winter, climbing a mountain pass on a particularly tortuous stretch of the Arctic Coast Way, this meteorological expression is distressingly apt. Through the windshields I can see absolutely nothing. Moving forward is difficult, since, in dangerous terrain like this, you can end up falling off a cliff or colliding with some invisible obstacle.
