Guadix, Spain
So, for the 5 day puente this weekend we decided to head towards Guadix and today we checked out this small gem in the Granada province. Catedral de la Encarnación de Guadix which you can’t miss when you enter the town as it’s the focal point. A highly decorated facade of the cathedral. Toren finding […]
Los Reyes Magos, Spain
Our 3rd full day was Los Reyes Magos, so originally we thought it could be a beach day, but the temps dropped to the low 60s and lots of things would be closed, however, we decided to check out the local aquarium, the science museum and a cool theater. Asher showed us how much he’s […]
Valencia, Spain
Our 1st full day in Valencia started a little later in the day and with 70° weather to boot. We had thought to go to the beach but plans were altered when we were told that everything would be closed on Thursday. Now, the weather has cooled by 10 degrees so we’ll see. Definitely a […]
Caminito del Rey (Málaga), Spain
I was reflecting on an opportunity I had to finally hike the Caminito del Rey right before my surgery and alas, I’m itching to get back out there. It is no longer as dangerous as it once was, but it was an awesome experience. Sorry for the number of photos, but it was a really […]
Cabo de Gata, Spain
Our last hurrah before the school year started. In September was to check out Cabo de Gata for a few days. Unfortunately, the wind had picked up during our stay so it made snorkeling and calm swimming waters more difficult. Our 1st stop was Cala del Cuervo. Our 2nd stop in Cabo de Gata was […]
Marbella, Spain
Marbella was our last stop on our way back because we had never been and we have friends from there. We definitely followed most all of the recommendations and we were perfectly situated with our apartment without even realizing. We definitely walked through the old town. Looking down 1 of the many paths from the […]
Arcos de la Frontera to Grazalema, Spain
Yesterday, our focus was more towards Grazalema and Arcos de la Frontera. I’ll do a separate post of the latter mañana. This is the view from Puerto de las Palomas (1.180m) towards Grazalema. Gorgeous but zig zaggy road up. Yes, it was freezing up there. I felt like there should have been snow, Toren too. […]
Discovering the Pueblos Blancos of Andalusia, Spain: Vejer de la Frontera, Olvera and Zahara de la Sierra
So, in Spain there is always a puente at the beginning of the month and this is the 1st time we’ve planned ahead for it, largely due to me being trapped in the house for a month and thinking this would be easier on my body. I decided to check out Los Pueblos Blancos de […]
Village of Witches: Soportújar (Granada), Spain
What a way to get into the Halloween spirit by visiting a small pueblo in the Alpujarras called Soportújar. There were way more people there than I expected. Bruja Baba Yaga welcomes everyone upon arrival. Nope, Alien never freaked me out. Asher definitely didn’t like it. This was a very impressive cosplay. There are hints […]
Adventure in Door County, Wincosin
Another new adventure in DC, WI mixed with a repeat was hiking the Eagle trail to view the Niagara escarpment and of course the brand new remodel of Eagle Tower making it sturdier and more accessible. We took in 2 beaches, the Lavender farm, an old church and a great lunch in Washington Island. Even […]
