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” →

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” →

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” →

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” →

Heavy Hitters

These are the sights everyone comes to Seville to see. Many people breeze through on a day tour and only see these. Its as shame as the city has so much more to offer if you stick around and take … Continue reading “Heavy Hitters” →

Street Walking

One of things that makes Sevilla so special is just wandering around and taking in street scenes. Since we have been here, we have walked something like 287,000 miles. Lots to see. You have to walk slowly to take it … Continue reading “Street Walking” →

Seville or Sevilla. In Spain. Or España.

This blogging thing is hard. We have been in Sevilla for almost a week, and I am just now putting down some thoughts on this beautiful, beguiling and blessed city by the Guadalquivir River. We rented an apartment in a … Continue reading “Seville or Sevilla. In Spain. Or España.” →

Porto

Porto Lisbon’s dark, brooding little brother has so much more to offer than people give it credit for. They seem to take things a bit more seriously here. The food, the wines, the (predominantly) religious attractions just seem so much … Continue reading “Porto” →

Baixa and Surrounds

There are so many areas to wander around in in Lisbon. I thought I would use this page for a catch all of pictures that I wanted to post that don’t fit neatly into other posts. I have barely touched … Continue reading “Baixa and Surrounds” →
