I’m not very good at spending time in Spain. Technically I’ve been five times, but one of those was using it as a base for Gibraltar and to get to Morocco.
I’ve also been to Barcelona very briefly twice, combining with Rome and Andorra respectively; I spent a few hours in Madrid; I spent 24 hours in Alicante; and I also spent a mere day in Seville, which I absolutely LOVED! I am well overdue a proper trip to Spain, as I’d love to explore more of Andalusia.

If I had to choose one destination that would be the least likely for me to visit, it would be… well, Benidorm, to be honest. But Alicante is the airport for Benidorm, so it’s close enough. So why the heck did I go to Alicante? Well, quite honestly I wanted some winter sun without taking …
Over the past couple of years, I’ve been diligently working towards the aim of visiting every country in Europe. That means two things: I’ve been visiting a lot of places I never thought I would, finding some surprising gems along the way.

Firstly, WHO is paying that for a Ryanair flight?!? And secondly, fine, I’ll just fly home from Madrid instead – saving £200 and …
In the past few months, I’ve visited three cities I don’t really like: Milan, Barcelona and Paris. Two of these were in passing, as part of larger trips. Paris was the one I was looking forward to the most – despite having a love/hate relationship with it, it’s been twelve years since my last visit, …
While I was on the Algarve, I kept hearing the same things over and over again: Seville is AMAZING. To be honest, I have never really “got” Spain from my previous trips to Barcelona and the border towns by Gibraltar, but everyone was telling me that Seville was beautiful and absolutely worth visiting. On my …
When I owned my shop, time off was really scarce. Like, really really. Like, I went almost a year without having two days off together. So when I did find the time to get out of the UK (because leaving the country was genuinely the best – and only – way to distance myself from …
I always put some really peculiar things on my travel bucket list. One of the first things that made its way onto the list was visiting Gibraltar to get the shortest ferry across the Mediterranean sea to Morocco – what a perfect little mix of British, European and Arabian culture in one trip. Plus, you …
