When I hear ‘Alicante’ for some reason I used to think of annoying British tourists who go to Spain to get drunk and burnt in tacky hotels without any sign of culture. But that’s in Benidorm, which is in the northern part of the Province. However I managed to go to the City of Alicante a couple of times, and although it may not be so … Continue reading Alicante
Located in the northern region, Austurias (famous for mountains and Cider) is the coastal city Gijòn. I was lucky enough to travel here for 2 days last summer as a last minute weekend away in a BlaBlaCar from Madrid. We stayed with an Airbnb host which did the job but was one of the dirtiest apartments I’ve ever stayed in, there was also a crazy cat (am … Continue reading Gijòn

Sevilla is definitely one of my favourite cities in Spain and after waiting to go here for almost a year, I finally got the chance to stop off for 12 hours on my long travel from Tarifa to Valencia. The city is full of gorgeous buildings and architecture … Continue reading 12 Hours in Seville

I went in January so it wasn’t as hot as usual but normally, it is as hot as the rest of Andalusia (REALLY HOT!) I travelled by … Continue reading Còrdoba

Tarifa is home to kite-surfers, being one of the best places to kite-surf in … Continue reading Tarifa
Barcelona, the most famous city in Spain (arguably) but from my opinion, many more people know this as a tourist destination than Madrid. But why is that? I would say the beaches have to play a big part. It is the only city in Europe with so many beaches, and they’re not bad either! Barcelona has A LOT to visit for a city. Sangrada … Continue reading Barcelona
