Mallorca | How To Travel The West Coast - Full Itinerary

Mallorca has it all, from the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, to winding coastal roads- including one of the most famous roads to Sa Calobra, exquisite beaches and coves, and quaint mountain villages. There are many ways to get around the largest of the Balearic Islands, we suggest hiring a car for at least a few days to cover the island. Although Mallorca does have excellent transport links and you could take the public bus around or

Mallorca | Things To See & Do In Port de Pollença

The largest of the Spanish Balearic Islands, Mallorca (Majorca in English) is a place not to be overlooked as just a beach holiday, lazy week destination or indeed just a booze fuelled party destination (Magaluf). The island has so much to offer- from clifftop coastal roads, quaint hilltop villages, caves and coves, and history dating back to Moorish and Roman times. We based ourselves in one of the islands most popular resorts for both couples and young families- Port de Pol

Mallorca | Port de Pollença Food & Drink Guide

Quite literally we ate and drank our way through our 10-day holiday in Port de Pollença. The small coastal town, located on the north of Mallorca is a little haven for holiday makers, ex-pats and locals and so the streets and famous Pine Walk are crammed with bars, cafés and restaurants. There are way too many places to visit in just 10 days so guess we will just have to go back so we can add to this list! Below we have listed our favourite places in and around Port de Pollen

Mallorca | Spending The Day In Formentor

Located on the Northern most tip of Mallorca is the Formentor Peninsula, whilst there are many must do's on the island, we highly recommend checking out this area We visited Formentor twice during our holiday in Mallorca. The first day we took our hire car and the next time we hopped on the public service bus. For this post we will show both methods of transport but would totally recommend using the public bus- especially if you want to cover the whole peninsula. From Port de

The Gibraltar Guide

Driving to Gibraltar- You can of course take a guided tour, but if like us you are in the middle of a road trip the drive from Costa Del Sol takes around 1 hour 40 to drive to the border of Gibraltar. If possible leave as early as possible. (We left before the sun had started to rise). You have the option of toll roads or non-toll roads. On the way as the roads were quiet as it was so early, we opted for the non-toll roads, the speed limit is lower, and you enter many roundab

Spain | 24 hours In Catalunya

April 17th and 18th Up early and out of Valencia for our shortest drive of the trip to Barcelona at 353 km (3 and half hours). We had planned on going to Saragoza which would have been an extra 2 hours and as stunning as it looked on google images we were starting to wane and a shorter day sounded very appealing. We did get stuck in some traffic for an hour but with the windows open and the sun pouring in it wasn't too bad. Arriving in the Catalunya (Catalonia) region we quic

Spain | Granada To Valencia

It was Easter Sunday, we had exchanged our cards and gifts yesterday and in the morning it was time to wave my family off to the airport, we then made our way to Granada through the stunning scenery of the Seirra Nevada. We were under pressure as it was a long day of driving but we couldn't help absorbing the beautiful landscape. It was just over an hour and half to Granada from the Costa Del Sol, upon arriving we drove through the busy streets before finding secure parking w

Gibraltar | Monkeying Around

During this whole Brexit saga, we decided to visit Gibraltar, which although geographically borders Spain, is in fact a British Overseas Territory. The sovereignty of Gibraltar is a major point of contention in Anglo-Spanish relations as Spain asserts a claim to the territory. Gibraltarians overwhelmingly rejected proposals for Spanish sovereignty in two referendums. Gibraltar governs its own affairs, though some powers, such as defence and foreign relations, remain the respo

Spain | My Gran Turns 80!

April 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th The time had finally came, we were making progress down to the Costa Del Sol, we just had to find our Airbnb first, but the address was hard to find, we ended up asking some locals for help, who then even called the owner to help us. Once inside the apartment we were so chuffed, it was absolutely massive, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, laundry room, balcony which stretched the length of the apartment, with mountain views and a pool.

Photo Diary | Seville In 21 Photos

With no time scheduled in on our Spanish road trip to visit Seville we almost never went, but how could we miss it out? We weren't there for long at all, however we are so glad we made the diversion to get a quick glimpse and taste of this vibrant, lovely city with its mix of Moorish, Gothic, and Hispanic buildings which had such character. Cameras used: Canon G7X, Lumix G7 14mm-42mm lens #spain #photodiary #europe #europe2017

Spain | Segovia To Madrid

April 12th and 13th. Leaving Bilbao we headed to Segovia, which was a small detour on our way to Madrid, the drive to Segovia was over 3 and half hours. We had read there was a Roman Aqueduct there, but didn't know much else, but when we arrived we were enchanted by its beauty. In 1985 the old city of Segovia and its Aqueduct were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The old city contains a multitude of historic buildings both civil and religious, including a large number

This was to be the first of many long drives, leaving St Malo and driving to San Sebastián in Spain, with a detour to Plya Sur Mer near Bordeaux where we went to see the famous sand dunes which we weren't too over awed about though, happy we went, but wouldn't recommend the detour. hen we continued our 860km drive.
