Cabanyal

As we were strolling through Cabanyal, it reminded us of 1) the Sunset district in San Francisco, CA, for some of its low-slung row houses 2) New Orleans, LA, for some of its colorful facades with wrought-iron balconies and 3) … Continue reading “Cabanyal” →

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” →

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” →

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” →

Alfama

The Alfama is one of those places that you almost wish hadn’t been discovered. It’s winding, narrow, cobbled streets are dotted with adorable little stores and restaurants in character-filled buildings all topped with red-clay tiled roofs. Even though Airbnb has … Continue reading “Alfama” →

Getting Around

While Lisbon is famous for the cute trolley cars that ply the hills in town,  Lisbon is primarily a walking city. And walk we have. Somewhere on average of at least 6 miles a day. That doesn’t include Uber or … Continue reading “Getting Around” →
