🌺 Restaurant Review: El Patio Mogán
Restaurant Review: El Patio Mogán
There are some places in Puerto de Mogán that are right in the middle of everything, and then there are places like El Patio. It sits a little on its own and is not somewhere you simply stumble across by accident.

RESTAURANT REVIEW - Mi vida
There are places in Puerto de Mogán that many of us walk past again and again without ever going in.Mi Vida was one of those places for me. Yesterday, that finally changed.

Mi Vida is closed from 1st of May until 1st of July, so this visit felt slightly special from the beginning. The setting Mi Vida is located right on the front line of
