We arrived in La Herradura on a Saturday morning and were immediately charmed by what we saw. The town is located on Granada’s Costa Tropical, and the first thing that catches your eye is its stunning horseshoe-shaped beach, hence its name. It has a great atmosphere, with beach bars featuring live music, plenty of water sports, a castle, and an […]
Finally, we left Marbella on January 9th. We went to La Caleta de Vélez, a charming fishing village, part of Vélez Málaga, where we met our friends Trudy and Slim, an English couple we met in France two years ago. Where to stay We came to Caleta de Vélez because there’s a motorhome area at the port (36.748525, -4.065704 latitude, […]
Our visit to Algeciras wasn’t planned, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Algeciras is a port city where people go to catch the ferry to Morocco. It’s right next to Gibraltar, offering incredible views of the Rock and the Moroccan coast. We had passed through many times on our way to Tarifa, etc., but had never actually visited Algeciras itself. We […]
We came to Marbella to spend Christmas with my family, and we were surprised by how beautiful the city was, with lights, Christmas markets, Santa’s house, and a music light show in the Orange Square. What to see We went first during the day and found a great Christmas atmosphere. We went by motorbike and parked in the centre. We […]
We went with Helen and Rob to visit Istán, a village of Arab origin in the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park. The road leading up to the village is full of curves with breathtaking views of the Verde River and the surrounding countryside. Along the road, you’ll find several fountains where people stop to fill jugs with water that […]
We went to spend the winter at Sonora Beach, a quiet beach where dogs are welcome, in the municipality of Estepona, with spectacular views of Gibraltar and Africa. The area is between Marbella and Estepona, very convenient for seeing my friends and family and visiting the different towns in the surrounding area. It also has many places with activities and […]
We went to Monesterio because it had a motorhome area with free electricity and a mechanic right next door. We urgently needed a mechanic because our brakes were making a suspicious noise. However, every time we asked a mechanic, they told us the brakes were fine, including the one who performed our vehicle inspection in England. To our surprise, we […]
In this second part, we explored the rest of Mérida, where we visited beautiful places such as the square where the Co-cathedral of St. Mary and the town hall are located, the Roman bridge, the citadel with incredible views and the Temple of Diana, among others. We arrived at the square where the Co-cathedral of St. Mary is located, a […]
We arrived in Mérida after quite a detour, as the GPS kept trying to take us under the arches of the Roman bridge, and we had to make an illegal turn to get out of there. Thankfully, other cars let us manoeuvre. We needed two days to see the city, as it has so much to offer, having been founded […]
Plasencia is a city in the autonomous community of Extremadura, in the province of Cáceres, on the banks of the Jerte River. We were amazed by its old town, as it has everything, having been inhabited by Romans and Arabs until Alfonso VIII reconquered it in the 12th century. The city has well-preserved medieval walls, palaces, noble houses, religious buildings, […]
