Corpus Christi is one of the main fiestas in Andalucia in Spain, and is well worth considering when deciding when to book your holiday rental in Granada

To calculate when the next Corpus Christi celebrations are, check out when the first Thursday is after Trinity Sunday – which is the eighth Sunday after Easter. That is when Corpus Christi will be celebrated in Spain….

But what is Corpus Christi?

It is Latin for the Body of Christ, which is recognised as such in the Holy Eucharist. Celebrations go on for eight days and nights as Granada really “pulls out all the stops” for celebrating this Christian Festival.

The special week begins with a Procession in which the holy host (the body of Christ) is carried from the Cathedral in the centre of Granada on a carriage decorated with flowers. As the procession passes, spectators throw even more flowers into its path and onto the carriage itself.

But the celebrations for this Catholic Special Day are not limited to religion.

PostHeaderIcon The Best Myrtle Beach Accommodation Yet

As you can imagine, a family vacation can sometimes be more stressful than staying at home when you’ve got three growing kids to attend to. We live in a cold part of the Midwest, though and after Christmas, it’s become a family tradition to rent a Myrtle Beach accommodation for a week and thaw out.

Somehow we had never tried the Horizon before. That may be because we’ve always felt like we had to stay oceanfront. This year, however, we gave one of their 3 bedroom condos a try. We thought that maybe that way, we could get a little privacy. We were right!

I really don’t know why we were so hung up on beachfront Myrtle Beach accommodations before. From our oversized balcony at the Horizon, we felt like we were at the beach. In fact, we felt like we were on an Ocean liner. The view was that good!

It was so nice to have a kitchen. Our kitchen at the Horizon was much nicer than our kitchen at home. It had granite bench tops and all stainless steel appliances. We like to eat out as much as anybody else, but since we had such a beautiful room with such a spectacular view, dining in was better than dining out!

PostHeaderIcon A Magnificent Myrtle Beach Resort

It is absolutely amazing what as little as a week can do to change your outlook on life. We recently took a week off from our demanding careers just because we simply had to.

We’ll be the first ones to admit that we were so burnt out that our marriage was suffering, our work was suffering and our whole perspective on life was suffering. One week at the Avista Myrtle Beach Resort changed everything.

Avista is one of the very newest Oceanfront Myrtle Beach resorts. It looked impressive on their website, but honestly, the website didn’t do it justice. We were still stressed out when we got off the plane and even the limo ride from the airport didn’t lift our spirits that much. But when we stepped inside the resort and felt its ambience of luxury, we breathed a sigh of relief.

I remember how it was at that moment we turned to each other and smiled for the first time. The staff at the hotel was fantastic. They made us feel entirely at home. No, that’s an understatement. They made us feel special. We’ve been to a few Myrtle Beach Resorts before, but in our experience, none of them were quite like the Avista.

These are some of the most sought after wallets, handbags, clutches and even travel bags that this designer has ever made.

Some of the Louis Vuitton handbags that this luxury brands internet store sells include the Epi leather line and the classic monogram denim bags that are to die for. How they can sell them at these prices is almost as much of a mystery as why they would sell them so cheaply. Women everywhere would gladly pay much more for them.

What would you expect to pay for a Louis Vuitton travel trolley bag? If you guessed somewhere close to a thousand dollars, you would be close to the recommended retail. So why does this online luxury boutique sell them for just over $200? It’s hard to comprehend.
