  • From Málaga to Madrid

    From Málaga to Madrid

    I’m still a week behind in writing up my posts, which means unbelievably it has been a week since we left Málaga. More unbelievable still was how quickly our first month of travel passed.  Before writing about where we got to next, thought I’d pause for a moment to share…

  • There’s Nada Like Granada

    There’s Nada Like Granada

    Still further behind on my blog entries than I would like. At least I was able to use a 3 hour train journey to write this one up. The last paragraphs were a race to beat the onset of queasiness I could feel, so hope you enjoy! Granada saw us…

    It’s Chriiistmaaaaaas (again!)

    And we thought the silly season was behind us! Nope, turns out Spain had one more Christmas card up it’s sleeve this week. This came in the form of Twelfth Night and Epiphany. I had heard these terms before, but it wasn’t until after we arrived that we realised they…

  • “But why Málaga?”

    “But why Málaga?”

    This is the question that has come up when we’ve started explaining our plans for the year. Málaga is not as championed as the likes of Barcelona or Madrid. Until I found out more about it, I myself envisioned something like Benidorm, a Blackpool of Andalucía.  At some point in…
