Celebrating Las Fallas

Sweet intoxicating orange blossoms blended with smoky sulfuric fireworks means we must be at Las Fallas.

Carnival in Tarragona

With the nickname “City of Eternal Spring” Tarragona seemed a good location to experience our first Carnival.

A wonderful thing about Spain is the number and variety of festivals and celebrations we continue to find.

Villajoyosa translates as ‘Joyful Town’. When there is a chocolate factory in town why wouldn’t your town be full of joy?

Tens of thousands of palm trees and the exclusive ‘Misterio de Elche’ play are just two great reasons to visit Elche.

We celebrate our one-year milestone of continuous travel this month and find our life has been enriched beyond measure.

Live classical music on the street below and a bottle of cava from our host makes a lovely first impression.

We cannot talk about our impressions of Lisbon without referring to the quaint single-car trams that speed up and down its hills.

Belém, a suburb of Lisbon on the Tagus River, is filled with museums, historical sights and monuments.

If you are a bibliophile, a visit to the historic Joanina Library at the University of Coimbra should be added to your bucket list.
