Cayssalie: Your True Escape from the Unexpected Urban Jungle
Our beautiful wisteria in full flower.
Dreaming of genuine tranquility away from the crowds? While some getaways promise peace but deliver surprise metropolises, Cayssalie offers the authentic retreat your soul is searching for.
A Tale of Two Escapes
Sometimes we yearn to escape the familiar, seeking those precious moments away from the routines of daily life. Recently, we decided to venture beyond our beloved Cayssalie homestead for what the photos promised would be a quiet coastal retreat in Galicia.
The online images showcased idyllic, deserted beaches with barely two cars visible on street view. Convinced we'd found another peaceful haven, we embarked on an epic 13-and-a-half-hour journey to this apparent sanctuary.
What unfolded was an unexpected lesson in appearances versus reality. Our "secluded" destination began as advertised—cold, windy beaches reminiscent of Scotland, empty promenades, and deserted shops. But as days passed and the sun emerged, so did crowds. By day four, the once-empty beach teemed with people, and a simple errand for art supplies revealed the truth: our "quiet retreat" sat on the edge of Vigo, one of Galicia's largest metropolitan areas.
Coming Home to Cayssalie: What True Tranquility Feels Like
When we returned to our Cayssalie homestead, the contrast couldn't have been more striking or more welcome. While we had left behind still-sleeping gardens and dormant trees, our return was greeted by a festival of awakened nature.
The brightest greens welcomed us home, accompanied by soft pink peonies nodding in gentle breezes. Balls of daphne waited to surprise us with their intense fragrance. Apple and fog blossoms created delicate clouds of color among the branches. A riot of triumphant flowers filled the air with scents of renewal and possibility.
The wisteria hung with foot-long cascades of blossoms, releasing their heady perfume into the air. Perhaps most striking was the creeping vine, transformed into a vibrant shock of green covering our house—as if the whole garden was proclaiming, "Welcome back! This is where you truly belong. Don't be tempted away again."
