I do not have the right words to describe this place... it used to be "An
old fisherman's town, but now it is one of the most exclusive locations of Este. It is a fantastic mix of nature, gorgeous and eclectic beachside houses,
incredible restaurants, beautiful people, fresh nights and perfect roads to
have a walk. You can find complete solitude with just the company of the sea
and its sound or be in the middle
of a fashion show on the beach...
My family and I arrived to Jose Ignacio on a Wednesday late
afternoon. We were incredibly excited to be there. We packed
our bags for a four day stay but ended up staying for eight! We cannot help
ourselves... Firstly the break from BA was so refreshing, the girls were having a smashing time, the SEA FOOD was incredible and the bubbly was always
within arm's reach!
One morning we went for a long walk on the beach and had a big surprise,
we found loads of stranded jellyfish.. I have never seen so many of them out of
the water and have no idea why they were there but it gave us a long job for that day... We spent hours picking
them up from the sand and putting them back into the water hoping that they might
still be alive. Darling was not too sure about this but he rolled with us...
We played games on the beach, jumping waves with Emma, body boarding with
Sofia (which by the way I enjoyed immensely). Sofia and I laughed so much, the waves were so strong that they
made us roll over and over again and of course the celebration when we caught a
wave really well... I was not using the right type of swimming suit for this,
something that Sofia thought was hilarious, imagine...
On Friday afternoon there was a Fashion show on the beach, my girls
could not believe it .. "Mami really? with real models?" They ended up sitting down right in
front of the catwalk with their cameras ready. Jules and I left them there and
went back to our big beach lounger to have a glass of champagne. We took turns
to go and see how the girls were doing... They loved it! After all this "glamour"
the following day the girls and I had an Idea..." Let's go and do a photo
shoot on the rocks" - So we
took a big bag, with make- up and some other things... I then spent a nice long hour in the sun
taking photos of my two favorite models, it was hysterical!
By the end of the holiday we had had many nights at the beautiful restaurant
in front of the beach, walks, laughs, games, and even Jules and I managed to
escape one night for a very cool party, but the best thing of all... We all enjoyed the amazing opportunity to share the company of each other,
the biggest blessing we have!
