Spelt as Majorca in the Spanish language, this beautiful island is one that has been inhabited for between 6,000 and 8,000 years, and offers visitors some fascinating history to explore. However, it is the climate and the beaches that tend to attract visitors to the island, and this combination has […]
Sevilla – or Seville – is one of the most underrated destinations in the Andalusian region of Spain. Seville has style, swagger and charisma by the bucketload, and many tourists to this great city are blown away by its heady mix of history, culture, food and entertainment. It’s small enough […]
The year I lived in Spain was one of the best years of my life. Why? It was so easy to travel all over Europe! The best thing about Spain itself was that I didn’t even have to travel out of the country to experience exotic locales that were […]
I fell in love with Spain during my first visit so much that I moved to Madrid for a year. I maximized my weekends by visiting cities in as many regions of Spain that I had time to. One of my favorite regions was the southern region of Andalusia. This part […]
