Luxury in Granada

Thumbnail image for Luxury in Granada

I’ve never been one to look for luxury in my travels. I expected to be searching for the cheapest hostel I could find and not swanning around enjoying luxury in Granada.

My bed is nothing more than a place to sleep and store my belongings while I’m off eating amazing food and basking in the joy of whatever city or town ...

The Alhambra in Granada

Tempted by the stunning view of The Alhambra while attending the wedding of a good blogging friend in Nellie of wildjunket.com fame, I just had to make a stop in to checkout the inside view as well.

Well the Torcal de Antequera with its stunning array of karst landscapes (hows that for a fancy word) sure was an amazing view. ...

In Antequera – The Food

Thumbnail image for In Antequera – The Food

I’ve been criticized in the past for not sharing the culinary delights of my travels, so today it’s all about the food. And let me tell you, there better be a napkin ready to catch the drool as you marvel at the food I devoured while in Antequera, Spain recently. In fact the whole of Andalucia treated me to some of the best food I’ve had the joy of putting ...

Travel Blogger Friday 36

As I’ve been learning the meaning of cold here in London the last few months, there has been serious thought put into my next foray into Europe. High on the list of countries to spend some time is Spain and the rest of southern Europe where I can soak up as much sun as my aussie skin can handle. In my search for finding the best places to visit I’ve ...
