Skiing in the French Pyrenees
I just returned from enjoying three wonderful days skiing in the French Pyrenees with my brother and it was so refreshing! After four years since the last time I skied, I'm glad to report that I survived and that I also had lots of fun and spent some quality time. We visited three ski stations in three days with my Dad's campervan. Follow our adventure!

Although this route is perfect for a summer day trip, it will also amaze you if you do it in any other season. Both Bidart and Biarritz are beautiful, so I'm sure you won't be disappointed by these couple of French towns by the Atlantic coast! Ready to feel those wanderlust vibes?
Around the Irún area with my in-laws
After visiting Córdoba and Priego de Córdoba with my in-laws and some family friends, we all came to Irún, my hometown in the Basque Country. We spent a few days here altogether, enjoying great food and sightseeing lovely places such as Getaria, Zumaia, San Sebastián, Lesaka or Hendaye. Curious to know all there is to see in this area?
Back home in September (part 2): Hendaye, Ciboure, Biarritz
While we were back home, I took the opportunity to show my boyfriend around some places he didn't know yet.
This time we went to Hendaye, Socoa (in Ciboure) and Biarritz, some of my favorite spots in the French Basque Country.
