South America!! - Home to London to Madrid - Day 1
This is a top pick! ... train across the Peak District to Sheffield. I then waited in Sheffield for an hour or so to catch another train to London and then a third train to Gatwick Airport. Unbelievably I made it to Gatwick with plenty of time to spare before my flight to ...
Tourism boom and bust
This is a top pick! ... of this is the East Coast of Spain, which became very popular with tourists during the 1970s, but during the 1980s Spain fell out of favour. Everyone considered that particular coastline to be very degraded and so the crowds headed to Turkey ...
Gone hiking and getting lost.
This is a top pick! ... Madrid, and is a very popular weekend destination for city slickers. It has a multitude of hiking trails, among forest, streams and a beautiful rocky landscape with huge boulders randomly dotted around. I went there with Johana, a very nice girl I met a ...
Valencia, Spain
This is a top pick! ... do that, consider this. The bulls that are entered into the bullfight are selected from a group for their ferocity, strength, endurance, and bravery. Those not selected are sent directly to the butchers; do not pass go, do not collect $200. Those who ARE ...
Welcome to Syden!!!
This is a top pick! ... Norway also knows where Syden is located. But again it may not mean the same to everyone. For some it only means Spain and the Canary Islands, Greece, Cyprus and maybe parts of Turkey. Others may for example include Portugal, the French Riviera, Italy and ...
Spain Day 10 - San Fermin, Take two!
This is a top pick! ... all the lunatics on the ground. Watching this first bull is AWESOME. Let me explain. There is a lot of protest both in Spain and around the world against Spain's practice of bullfighting, ... and the festival of San Fermin is no exception. Personally, ...
Indian summer playing havoc with ugly stepchild.
This is a top pick! ... and since I still very much enjoy living in this city. There's however a network outage here today on my first day as fijo, and since we are in Spain, it will probably be taken care of "mañana"... So I guess my customers (sorry guys) will have to wait as ...
Extremes
This is a top pick! ... . A few very old Mosques skirting the city created yet another walking challenge; without a direct route between them Charles and I navigated our way between them one evening. We wandered through wheat fields that were dotted with poppy flowers on the ...
Almost Like South America
This is a top pick! ... probably runs all the time... for $50 dollars to get there and JUST ONE CENT to return! Fantastic, let´s go to Spain! Who can go anywhere for just a penny, I thought. So I clicked to continue buying the ticket. ...
The unfamiliar sound of an alarm clock.
This is a top pick! ... to be honest. So when I got the job offer back in December, I mainly accepted because of the following; - The job is in Spain. I have been keen on trying to live in a Spanish speaking country for a while, and hence get the opportunity to learn much ...
Barcelona, Spain
This is a top pick! ... that is the symbol of Barcelona, La Temple De La Sagrada Familia. This cathedral was the work of one of Barcelona (and Spain's) most famous architect, Antoni Gaudi. The temple is breathtakingly large and hasn't been completed, even though it's been under ...
Studying in San Sebastian
This is a top pick! ... do a language/cooking course. San Sebastian is a gorgeous city, and the area is like no other part of Spain. It's very green, and there's a noticable difference in culture too. After a very enjoyable two weeks meeting people from all over the world, ...
Spain Day 8 - Cider House RULZ!
This is a top pick! ... anyhow, we are all posed for a family photo next to the twenty foot barrels of cider and I yell, "Ok everybody, say SPAIN!". A look of shock and embarrassment as they quickly hush me and tell me that perhaps I shouldn't say that here. After all, we are in ...
Santiago here we come...
This is a top pick! We started our day by saying farewell to our beloved Goldie... quite an emotional experience to say the least, and headed for Stanstead Airport - destination Valladolid! Had an interesting flight to Valladolid with Ryan Air, the pilot almost over shot ...
Madrid ...shopping for the Camino
This is a top pick! ... 5 km hike instead of an 800 km one?……oh well, maybe I will do 10 km jaunt and then ride the bus around Spain, over to France and help my friend Clem and the boys move into their new house – Clem, it could happen yet. Interesting to me is ...
Going home
This is a top pick! ... know where to start our conversation, we have so much to talk about after so long apart. We'll be here in Spain for a few weeks until we see on the BBC weather forecast that the temperature in London has gone above ...
We really are all one...
This is a top pick! Spent a week outside of Spain in a small village called Buenaventura participating in a Monroe Institute Gateway...you can read about Robert Monroe who founded the Institute in Virginia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Monroe I ...
Spain Day 2 - Day at the beach ...
This is a top pick! ... clouds. Its a sunny day!! Woo hoo! Janice woke up and cooked us a huge breakfast. Big breakfasts are unheard of in Spain. They do coffee and bread in the morning, a gut-busting lunch, and a small, very late dinner (10pmish). After breakfast, we clean ...
Winter Sun
This is a top pick! Tenerife 1999 For me the jury is still out on the canary islands. On two occasions we have travelled there after a miserable winter looking for a bit of sunshine to less the seasonal affective disorder. We went to Tenerife in 1999 and got a late deal ...
Rabanal del Camino to Ponferrada - 32.5km
This is a top pick! After eating a very bland, home cooked dinner (pasta, mayonnaise and sweetcorn), we headed to the church to hear the monks sing latin hymns. Although we are not religious, it was quite a moving experience - maybe it was because we couldn't understand ...
Beautiful town, no so beautiful food,..
This is a top pick! ... while the receptionist explained the surroundings and features of the hotel. The room was not huge, but very comfortable and the bed was wonderful. Normally beds in Spain are quite hard, but this one was perfect, not too hard and not too soft. In the ...
Romans by the sea
This is a top pick! ... of a tower and other connecting bits and pieces. This all led to the Provincial Forum which apparently was the political and economic administrative centre. It had medieval tunnels underneath, which were cool and a kind of museum. We climbed the tower ...
Touching the sacred place
This is a top pick! ... visual point of view. Although I'm sure from a religious point of view it's awe inspiring. The said pillar was actually completely housed and the only exposed piece was in a nook in the wall with a place to kneel. The piece was a little smaller than ...
Pamplona: bull running
This is a top pick! I was thinking of a leisurely wander up western Portugal and into the Galician region of Spain to check out the most remote area on the Iberian peninsula, but remembering a promise and doing some quick calendrical calculations I soon realised that wasn't ...
Let's get ready to Rumblas...
This is a top pick! ... quarry's ceiling? what about the energy and playfulness of Parc Guell, with its fairy tale gingerbread houses, magic vibrant salamanders and the single, continuous, impossibly elaborate mosaic bench? No - surely it's the facade of Casa Batllo - the wavy ...
Valencia and the beluga
This is a top pick! ... is coming down from Madrid to spend the day with us. We dock in another 'beautiful' container port but look outside and there's actually a passenger ship terminal and we are going to leave and return to the ship via a proper boarding tunnel ...
Barcelona in a Nutshell
This is a top pick! Excited to depart Morocco and return to Spain, we learned a lesson in "low cost" airlines. Stay away from them at all costs. Worse than Easy Jet, Ryan Air is notorious for squeezing a dollar out of you for each and every thing. Starting with 40Euros if ...
Here we are again.
This is a top pick! ... even fewer tourists around (but watch out for those Norwegians), the weather is still typically very nice (can you spot the t-shirt) and a swim is definitively still possible if you are a loco Scandinavian. This time Johana and I went down there (as if ...
