The Canary Islands have always been a firm favourite to visit. Perched off the coast of north-west Africa, these Spanish islands (including; Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote) are just too beautiful to miss. Full disclosure, I really have to be honest, It never felt like ‘my cup of tea’ and for so many years I kind … Continue Reading

The Canary Islands are a totally stunning archipelago that’s so beautiful to visit. Interestingly, it’s a part of Spain and actually closer to Morocco, which makes for a sun-soaked climate for a great holiday.

After our big lunch down by the seaside, I was in no shape for any exercise whatsoever and so off we went on a more of a laidback jaunt around Menorca – this time on a boat, leaving from the port of Mahon (the capital city of Menorca). Now I realise, reading this title back … Continue Reading

The Giri Cafe – quaint, beautiful cafe by day, amazing restaurant by night! But more on that in a moment… Instead, let’s step back a couple of hours to The Giri Residence (the most amazing luxury hotel owned by the same people) where we’d decided to try on the 24 hour breakfast. Essentially, rather than you … Continue Reading

After conquering, “Europe’s tallest and fastest“,  I went on just one ride before getting distracted by the wine bar aptly located right next to the ride. This was not something I expected to see here at all. Seeing as we’d already had a couple of beers so far, we grabbed a couple of glasses of … Continue Reading

Valencia has been on our travel-radar for many, many years. After snoozing as soundly as sleeping beauty but snoring as loudly as a ‘Shrek’ style Ogre ;-), Yaya and I headed straight out for our first adventure of the day. Sailing a yacht around the Mediterranean coast. You can only imagine how excited this made … Continue Reading

Up until a few weeks ago, I had never heard of PortAventura. Lloyd, on the other hand had (apparently a friend had visited recently and told him all about it) so when we decided to go to PortAventura for a party, I had no idea what to expect. 😀 . Now, the reason why you … Continue Reading

The next day (and our final day in Spain after this day and this one), we popped out in search of even more of Bilbao, stopping at the local market (which was a huge part of Bilbao, got closed down and recently renovated into part-fresh food market and part restaurant/tapas bar area. We carried on … Continue Reading

It’s not just because it’s got a heap of beautiful beaches, amazing cites and historic towns, but also because it’s so dramatically different depending on what region you’re in. Plus, by exploring some of the best places to see in … Continue Reading

Mahon is the capital city of Menorca and it’s one of its prettiest! (Albeit, perhaps even more so in the sunshine). We visited late in the evening when the skies had turned a bit grey (thankfully, we had sunshine in the afternoon for our boat ride) but the greys didn’t take away from the city’s … Continue Reading

My friend had been saying for months (almost a whole year actually) that she wanted to celebrate her birthday somewhere outside of the UK and as amazing as the idea was, the process of organising flights and accommodation for even 4 people is daunting to me at the best of times let alone organising for a … Continue Reading

Being one of the larger of the Canary Islands, Fuerteventura is a pretty varied and special island to explore. It’s one of those islands that has a little bit of everything and such a diverse landscape that’s amazing for a holiday trip. This is exactly why I wanted to share some of my favourite and … Continue Reading
