We ended our Spain trip in Madrid, a truly gorgeous city which we wish we had more time to explore. With only a day or so to wander around, we were only able to get a glimpse of what Madrid had to offer, but what a beautiful city to end our Spain adventures! Continue reading Spain Part VII: Madrid
We couldn’t visit Southern Spain without touching the coastline, so we headed further south to a little beach town called Nerja on the Costa del Sol for a couple of nights. During the day, for $15, we got two beach chairs and an umbrella and spent the entire day at the beach. We relaxed, read … Continue reading Spain Part VI: Nerja & Frigiliana
While staying in Granada, Phil and I did a day trip to the Alpujarras Region to explore the little white villages. It was nice to get out of the city and enjoy the cool fresh mountain air. It was also nice to make use of our car and wander aimlessly through the swerving mountain roads. … Continue reading Spain Part V: Alpujarras Region (White Villages)

The venue for the fiesta is a fairground at El Arenal, a quick 10 minute walk from our hotel (Hesperia Córdoba) and a 20 minute walk from the historical center of town. Festive music, … Continue reading Spain Part II: La Feria de Córdoba
The first stop on our southern Spain road trip was Córdoba, an often overlooked Andalusian city, but really a must-see in my eyes. Most people stop by just for the day if at all, but you would be barely scratching the surface. Córdoba has so much to offer, so we were glad we made the time to spend at least a … Continue reading Spain Part I: Córdoba
