Camara Europei – the store where you can satisfy all cravings

One of the places discovered this year is a very peculiar shop. What do I mean by this? Well, first of all, you can buy a lot of merchandise there that you couldn’t find anywhere else. It is called the European Pantry for a reason. Everything you’ve been craving for since your first taste in […]
