Summer holidays in Andalucía (II) – Tarifa & around
We drove from Sevilla and arrived to Zahara de los Atunes at sunset. This village (and nearby Barbate) are famous for their atún (tuna) de almadraba. During our stay in Tarifa, we also explored the gorgeous village of Vejer de la Frontera and several beaches such as Bolonia (and its famous dune), Valdevaqueros (known among windsurfers), Cabo de Trafalgar (site of the famous naval battle) and El Cañuelo (only reachable by foot).
Summer holidays in Andalucía (I) – Sierra de Aracena
We just came back from our holidays in Spain and had a blast. We wanted to take it easy, so we went to Andalucía, in the south of Spain.
Girlfriends’ weekend in Madrid
Toledo
Toledo is an ancient city set on a hill above the plains of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain. It’s known for the medieval Arab, Jewish and Christian monuments in its walled old city. It was also the former home of Mannerist painter El Greco. The Moorish Bisagra Gate and the Sol Gate, in Mudéjar style, open into the old quarter, where the Plaza de Zocodover is a lively meeting place.
Valencia and Alicante
I was in Valencia and Alicante for a quick weekend. I had been to Valencia many years ago but I didn't know Alicante, so I loved exploring this area in southeastern Spain!
