– Spain Travel Guides –
My hot next door neighbour Spain has been the backdrop to many of my European adventures. Since moving to Portugal I’ve been darting across the border to Spain for an escape several times a year, building some memorable experiences thanks to road tripping through Pueblos Blancos and natural parks. My most travelled region in Spain is Andalusia and the travel guides for this southern beauty are racking up. Enjoy!

My holiday destination of choice. Whenever I need a break from my beloved home (Portugal) I plan and book a trip to Italy which means I spend several months a year getting to know this beautiful country from top to toe.
