Surely you often see images of people with high purchasing power indulging in those whims that you think you will never be able to enjoy. You're wrong. It is true that there are experiences that escape the vast majority of mortals, but there are many others that, behind that appearance of exclusivity , are much more attainable than you imagine.
And today we are going to give you some examples so that you can take them into account... and give yourself the gift you deserve.
Tasting oysters by boat in the Algarve (Portugal)
Oysters and boat in the same sentence? That can only mean one thing: a big investment. And no, it is not like that at all. On the beautiful coast of Portugal it is possible to book excursions in which you can taste such a delicacy while you let yourself be rocked by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
The plans are different depending on which agency or service you hire it with: you can, for example, take a ride of about 3 hours aboard a sailing catamaran , which leaves from Vilamoura and arrives in São Rafael, while you eat oysters and drink a good sparkling wine.
Another idea that you will also love, in case you don't like sailing (but you do like eating as if you were rich), is to visit an oyster farm in the Ria Formosa, where your guides will tell you how they are produced and processed. They are raised from birth until they reach the plate. Obviously once you have discovered all their secrets, you can proceed to taste them, accompanying them, of course, with a good Portuguese white wine.
Helicopter ride over Barcelona (Spain)
Barcelona is always one of the most visited tourist destinations when someone travels to Spain (even to Europe). The beautiful City of Barcelona has a long and rich architectural, cultural and gastronomic history, making it one of the most interesting enclaves.
When it comes to exploring it, you can do it in many ways, but without a doubt a special way to see it is from a bird's eye view , from the air. That's just what you can do aboard a helicopter specially designed for it.
There are different agencies that offer the possibility of taking different tours with very varied prices depending on the area and time. The most economical offers the possibility of seeing the coast, its beaches up close and the city a little further away. The entire experience lasts about 25 minutes (7 minutes for the flight itself) and the maximum number of seats is only 5 people.
Price? Starting at $1,590 pesos (89 euros).
Eat at The 8, with two Michelin stars in Macau (China)
Going to a Michelin star restaurant can be quite an experience for our palate and also a painful blow for our pocketbook. Luckily, not all restaurants in the world with this distinction have exorbitant prices and The 8 is a clear example of this.
Located in the Grand Lisboa hotel in the particular Chinese city of Macau,The 8It has not one but two Michelin stars . It offers Cantonese food in several set menus as well as a la carte with an incredibly affordable price for the preparation of the food and how luxurious the place is - hey, two stars don't come every day.
Get ready to taste traditional local food with a different touch thanks to the use of foreign products such as Japanese chilis or Australian lobster. And that's not to mention the enormous variety of dim sums it has, with more than 40 different types. A paradise for lovers of good food.
Price? The average price per person is $498 pesos (about 30 dollars). Crazy.
See the Northern Lights on a snowmobile in Kiruna (Sweden)
For many, seeing the Northern Lights is one of the most magical experiences in the world . This phenomenon can be observed from different parts of the planet, but without a doubt Sweden is one of the best-known locations.
For this reason and because it has a fairly economical snowmobile plan , we propose this experience that you can enjoy in the charming city of Kiruna. Driving this type of vehicle may seem like an activity only for rich people, but in Sweden you can do it for a small fee and use it as a way to go looking for the northern lights.
An incredible experience that you can share with another person (two people can ride on the motorcycle and the person driving must be at least 18 years old, keep that in mind) and that is much more affordable than you probably think. You'll just have to be lucky when it comes to entering the wild Arctic to see an aurora, of course.
Price? For $2,625 pesos (1695 SEK) for 2 and a half hours of driving.
Have a coffee in a luxury hotel (anywhere in the world)
This is a proposal that you can really do anywhere in the world: you just need to choose an incredibly luxurious hotel and head to their cafe. No matter how expensive the coffee is, it will always be infinitely more affordable than staying in a room and at the same time you will be able to enjoy the exclusive atmosphere that is breathed in its common rooms - just as we offer you a coffee, we invite you to take a look around through the hall or those areas where access is allowed to non-guests.
Some of these coffee places even serve as a bar to have an aperitif or cocktail, so be sure to take a look at their menu, in case you also want to feel like a king while you have a brunch, a mojito and /or a glass of wine.
Among the most charming cafes, we can think of these three for example for you to write down:
The backyard, located in the Four Seasons hotel in Madrid , where they also have high-end pastries to accompany and round out the experience.
Page8, a boutique hotel in London whose cafeteria is loved by both the guests who stay there and the Londoners themselves who do not hesitate to come and enjoy its offering.
The TreeTopIt only allows access to adults, promises unforgettable sunsets and is located at the One&Only Mandarina hotel in Mexico .
