The ritual of breakfast, we respect it even on vacation

All of us are used to having breakfast in a certain way that helps us start the day in a great way. Having breakfast is a ritual that we can not give up.

We perceive many emotions when there are good smells, such as entering a pastry shop where freshly baked sweets permeate the air of a perfume that makes us mouth water or visit a garden in spring where flowers quieten souls in war.
