Santa Barbara

The beginning of the castle date to the 9th century at the time of Muslim control of the Iberian Peninsula. It was used in military roles up until the 18th century but by the mid 20th century, was an abandoned shell. … Continue reading “Santa Barbara” →

Santa Cruz

Nestled at the foot of Castillo de Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz is the oldest part of Alicante. The area is littered with old buildings, cutting edge night clubs, decent terrace bars and restaurants. White-washed houses crowd narrow streets and alleyways … Continue reading “Santa Cruz” →

Alicante

In general, when you tell people you are going to Alicante for a week, you get one of two reactions. If the person you are speaking with happens to be British or Northern European, they just assume you mean the … Continue reading “Alicante” →

Art Scene

Málaga is a bustling little port town that serves as the gateway to the Costa Del Sol. When you say “Málaga”, most people actually think you are referring Marbella or some other tacky tourist spot further a long the coast. … Continue reading “Art Scene” →

Alcabaza and Castillo

One highlight of Málaga is the Alzabaza and nearby Castillo Gibralfaro (these are a good 20 minutes from each other but are included on the same ticket). The Castillo is quite the hike but the views over the whole city … Continue reading “Alcabaza and Castillo” →

Málaga

Plaza del Obispo Churches, grand old buildings, crumbling edifices, ancient castles, picturesque winding streets – Málaga has all of those things. We spent a lot of time just wandering the very walkable historic center. We also visited the picturesque pier … Continue reading “Málaga” →

The rain in Spain

It has been a particularly wet and windy Autumn on the Iberian peninsula. Towns all along the coast have seen destructive flooding, high winds and generally not Spain-like November weather. Many towns such as Málaga, Benidorm, Valencia and Cádiz have … Continue reading “The rain in Spain” →

Torremolinos

Travel books tend to paint a picture of Torremolinos being overdeveloped and unattractive. They would not be wrong. What was once a chic post-WWII, exotic Mediterranean fishing village, has been turned into a poorly planned, middle class, seaside resort town … Continue reading “Torremolinos” →

Santa Cruz

Originally the Jewish quarter, Santa Cruz is, for me, quintessential Sevilla. It’s what I remember most from past visits and it is architecturally Sevilla at its finest. It is also the prime tourist area, so expect to see a lot … Continue reading “Santa Cruz” →

We did some cultural stuff too

So everyone doesn’t think that all we did was lollygag about the city eating tapas and drinking sherry, we definitely have done some cultural activities. As an aside, did you know Spain has approximately 49.5 million people and 50 million … Continue reading “We did some cultural stuff too” →
