West To East In 2017 Our reflections on 2017 travel confirmed that we had a very busy travel year again in 2017. When we looked back on what we thought we might do in 2017, we had some hits and some misses. As we planned, our big trip in the […]
Arriving In Tenerife Tenerife was the final Canary Island we visited on this trip. They were all quite different. Lanzarote was an arid volcanic mountain with stunning scenery. La Palma was a green and lush oasis. Tenerife was the most developed island. There are about 1 million inhabitants and 6 […]
As Different As Night From Day We loved our first taste of the Canary Islands. Lanzarote was an arid volcanic island with the stark colours that come with arid climates and volcanic soil. By contrast, our second stop in the Canary Islands was the green and lush La Palma Island. […]
Our First Stop in the Canary Islands Was On Lanzarote We got our first introduction to the volcanic islands of the Atlantic Ocean on our day in Cape Verde. Three days in the Canary Islands let us get another range of impressions for this volcanic archipelago. The first stop gave […]
An Invitation To The Andalusian Horse Show In Córdoba We visited the Alcazar in Córdoba. When we climbed high in the Lion Tower, we could see the Equestrian Centre. Horses and riders practiced in the open-aired arena. When we left the Alcazar, there was a horse and costumed rider with […]
Heading Off For Flamenco And Food In Seville We started our day in the Triana neighbourhood. It is said that flamenco dancing comes from Triana. So it seemed a fitting beginning to our evening of flamenco and food in Seville. Our tour guide David from Devour Seville was waiting for […]
