Wacky architecture, sangria, tapas & thieves
This is a top pick! ... little story is so ironic after my entry on crime in South Africa as even a stable first world European country like Spain is not immune to crime. And it seems this is not a small problem as the queues at the police station proved. This is such a common ...
Seville

Ibiza, Ibiza, Ibiza...
This is a top pick! ... what to expect but not really knowing what we were getting ourselves into. We spend the next few days lazing around the pool and walking Playa D'en Bossa during the day, and exploring the wild nightlife that Ibiza town has to offer. We hit up ...

La Sagrada Famiiia
This is a top pick! Determined to see La Sagrada Familia, we spent the bulk of the day at the still unfinished church designed and built according to Gaudi's planes. Meanwhile, we are in disbelief that with the massive amount of tourists paying $20 bucks a head to enter, ...

Relaxing in Spain
This is a top pick! ... landed in Spain the helpful Iberia people gave us a choice of flights to Rio in the coming days so we choose to stay in Spain for three nights and took a flight on the 12th of September. We're not sure why we had such a hassle trying to get on one as we ...
