If you follow my blog you’ll already know that I really love Spain, I’ve visited various different regions and cities over the last couple of years and also have it high up on my list as a country to potentially live. Spain has so much to offer a visitor that it’s impossible to cover the […]
The northern coastline of Galicia, the North West region of Spain is littered with rugged cliffs, dramatic windswept coastal views, unspoilt hazy beaches and lonesome lighthouses keeping watch over the shoreline. Lighthouses traditionally beam out their warnings of perilous rocky outcrops, reefs and harbours but they’re also a perfect way to mark stop offs on […]
It’s no secret that I love Menorca. It’s such a pleasant, relaxed and undeveloped island in the Mediterranean Sea. There’s so much to see and do as well as plenty of adventurous activities too, but if you’re looking for the best beaches in Menorca to relax and chilled out, then you’re in luck! The island […]
What to expect from Galicia’s cuisine? I wasn’t sure either… but I was guessing that it would be heavily influenced by the regions beautifully salty rugged windswept Atlantic coastline. We spent around three days exploring this diverse region, I’ve put together a road trip itinerary for Galicia to help you plan your trip. So, what […]
Menorca is well known for being the mellow, relaxed and more low-key resident of the Balearic Islands, but just because it’s more laid back doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of adventure to be had. Actually, it’s quite the opposite. There are plenty of adventurous things to do in Menorca and I’ve just scratched the surface […]
Firstly, a bit of a confession. Before visiting Menorca I wasn’t exactly “keen” on horse riding… I mean, horses can be quite scary creatures to many people. “What if you fall off?”, “What if your horse is crazy?” Are the two most common questions from people when you mention you’re off horse riding. Travel insurance […]
A huge gust of wind hit the sails throwing us off course dramatically, the captain battled with wheel as the boat dipped into a wave. We clung on to anything that would keep us on board the boat. There were no signs of major panic from the captain, but it hadn’t helped that earlier on […]
Standing in a field surrounded by long inquisitive faces nibbling at my t-shirt isn’t quite what I was expecting from horse riding in Menorca. We trotted into what looked like a scene from Jurassic Park, an expansion plain lined with palm trees and surounded by huge imposing cliffs. We stopped staring out into the distance admiring […]
It was pretty late, I’d just finished packing when my phone buzzed across the table, there was message from my mum wishing me a good trip to Menorca. I wasn’t quite sure whether I had ever been before but there was some faint memory of a distant family holiday, fishing in a quaint little harbour […]
Having spent the evening exploring Madrid’s nightlife, downing unidentified birthday shots, throwing some random shapes on the dancefloor and staggering to bed around six in the morning, you could say I wasn’t particularly looking forward to wandering around a theatre. From the outside, Teatro Real in Madrid is an imposing huge grey concrete building that […]
It’s well beyond my London midnight curfew but the locals wander the streets like it’s the middle of the day, no coat, jumper or even an umbrella in sight. With a miniture one Euro Mahou beer from Madrid in my hand we stroll to the next bar on the route, it doesn’t feel all that […]
Madrid’s crazy lifestyle means that the daytime seems to stretch on forever. Long enough to fill it with boutique shops, design cafes, architecture, history and culture leaving the evenings free for exploring buzzing markets, eating tapas, socialising at cervecerias and dancing at one of the many nightspots. After experiencing Madrid’s Thursday evening nightlife well into […]
