Rowe and Garen Scribner's libretto takes its liberties, setting the action in a world where everything is green and an evil princess has ruled that nothing be eaten but peas.

"I think Marbella is a little misunderstood and is often viewed as simply an ostentatious resort destination. It is still an authentic coastal town, and it's one of few places on the Spanish peninsula where you can experience so much diversity and vibrancy year-round."

Healdsburg's wine cred is matched only by its culinary one, with an influx of new energy from big names and cult favorites enhancing the local scene.

Pianist Dr. Gabriela Calderón and violinist Dr. Catalina Barraza celebrate the rich musical heritage of Latin America.

The highlands are the sustenance of life, and all that water comes down from the mountains to the valleys, such as Azapa and Lluta and to the coast. The city of Arica is on the coast. So, we have a very serious problem. We will not have water—not for agriculture, not for livestock, not for tourism.

Attendees will move between tasting stations set up at shops and restaurants throughout the row, sampling selections that range from local California vintages to international favorites, accompanied by lite bites.

Vy Chao chalks it up to 'user error,' pointing out how they would hunt after finishing work, during traditional American dinner hours. At the time, locals mainly ate paella for lunch; the versions served at dinner were usually made for tourists. But on a return trip last year they found better luck, and paella, noting that the city had adapted to tourists' dining habits.

Rocher de la Vierge is a rocky promontory connected by a footbridge to the beach, that offers one of the most photographed panoramas in Biarritz. Access to the site is free, and it is best visited during daylight hours to fully enjoy the views.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past decade (or were too young for the glory days of Vine), there's a very good chance you've encountered the ridiculous humor of Nick Colletti. From immortal one-liners like suh dude and what the fuck is up, Kyle to Real Bros of Simi Valley fame, Colletti has perfected a very specific comedic lane: laid-back, slightly cringe, and infinitely meme-able.

On November 28, with just weeks remaining until the run-off in Chile's presidential election, far-right candidate Jose Antonio Kast issued a warning. "To the irregular immigrants in Chile," he said, "I tell you that 103 days remain for you to leave our country voluntarily." Kast ultimately won the election and is expected to be sworn in on March 11. But so far, in the highlands of Chile's most northerly region, the immigrant exodus that some expected has not occurred.

The proposal is presented as a strategy for territorial and landscape activation in the eastern sector of Isla Teja, in Valdivia, in the stretch between the Architecture building of the Universidad Austral de Chile and the edge of the Rio Calle-Calle. Through the design and construction of three pavilions, the project aims to consolidate this area as a space for walking, pausing, and gathering, incorporating new architectural references that engage with the river landscape and its high ecological value.

Last week AES Andesa subsidiary of the AES Corporation, an American energy companyannounced it had scrapped its plans for a sprawling, city-size renewable energy project in Chile's Atacama Desert. The Atacama offers some of the world's darkest, clearest skieswhich is why it also hosts several of Earth's most important ground-based telescopes, including those of the European Southern Observatory's (ESO's) Paranal Observatory, which could've been within a mere five kilometers of the green-energy facility, according to earlier plans.

The Blazers hit a rough patch at the end of January, into February. Perhaps this past weekend's return of sophomore phenom Scoot Henderson will bring about a welcome change. That, and Deni Avdija unplugging for a week to heal his ailing back, completely ignorant to any glowing endorsements received from genocidal world leaders (god this has been a rugged season to be a Blazer fan).

Last night I had a dream and you were in it, and I was in it with you. I was doing the packing I never did. Not sure how it started, that's how dreams go. But I was nervous that you might show up. Just like you were nervous I'd be there. Eventually you did show up, but your head was buzzed and dyed orange.

Global travel booking website Skyscanner has named its top five destinations for solo travel this winter, and a Northern California favorite the Sonoma Coast made the list. The Sonoma Coast invites a different kind of stillness, the guide notes, praising the rugged shoreline as an antidote to crowded itineraries and overplanned escapes. The roundup also includes Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas, Tangier Island in Virginia, Olympic National Park in Washington and Red River Gorge in Kentucky.

Wildfires raging across central and southern Chile have killed at least 15 people, scorched thousands of hectares of forest and destroyed scores of homes, authorities said, as the South American country swelters under a heatwave. Chile's president, Gabriel Boric, declared a state of catastrophe in the country's central Biobio region and the neighbouring Nuble region, about 500km (300 miles) south of Santiago, the capital.

For travelers looking to get to know the many-varied charms of the Golden State, discovering it through the best beaches in California is never a bad idea. The state's coastline spans a vast 3,427 miles after all. Among its 420 public beautiful beaches are plentiful opportunities to swim, lay out, look at tide pools, surf to your heart's content, or watch the sunset.

I may be a bit biased, but I consider the California coastline to be the most scenic and diverse route in the U.S. As a native to the state, I've taken more than 20 road trips over the years, traversing desert terrain, budding vineyards, and cliff-hugging highways that tower above the Pacific Ocean. And though I love the colossal redwood forests in northern California and the gleaming coastline that cradles the state's southern end, there's one road trip I always return to for its access to some of the state's best wineries, restaurants, and charismatic hotels.

BackcountryFor most skiers, "all-inclusive" means a lift ticket and a buffet. Forrest Schmidt means something very different: a hot titanium stove in a tipi, filet mignon next to a steaming hot spring, and ancient araucaria trees holding cold smoke over a perfectly set skintrack. Schmidt, a 44-year-old "East Coast kid" from rural New York, runs APEX Andes (Andes Puro Exploraciones) out of Malalcahuello in Chile's Araucanía region. His guide service is small by design with

Stretching along Mexico's Pacific Coast 200 scenic miles north of Puerto Vallarta, the Riviera Nayarit is rich with pristine golden beaches, lush forests, and sunset views over the waters of the Bahía de Banderas. Resorts brands from Auberge and Four Seasons to Rosewood have planted their flags in recent years, but what makes this region most appealing has been here all along.

Located about 80 miles west of Austin in the Texas Hill Country, Fredericksburg has earned a reputation for its arts scene, shopping, history, and beautiful outdoor landscapes. Hike to the top of a large pink granite dome at the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, or hop in a vintage-style trolley to learn about the area's German history, architecture, and more.
