Granada, Spain.
Island of Limestone
Matla, A beautiful island in the south of Europe, an abundance of history and full of character. With the turquoise blue seas, sunny skies and pretty much everything made from limestone, Malta is a photographer’s delight. See all my photos from our trip below
Crossing the Baltic Sea
Helsinki, Finland and Tallinn, Estonia. We managed to fit in not only two cities, but two countries in our short weekend trip! If you are visiting Helsinki it would definitely be worth considering this day trip, taking the short 2 hour ferry across the Baltic sea for a picturesque stroll around the old town of…
The Portuguese Ribeira
Porto, Portugal. From the moment we arrived here we knew we were in for a fascinating weekend, this vibrant city full of history has a lot to offer on a weekend trip. To kick things off we visited the Livraria Lello Bookshop, considered the 3rd most beautiful bookshop in the world and claimed that JK…
A Weekend in Valencia
Valencia, Spain. We kicked off the new year with a surprisingly warm start, arriving here greeted with 20 degrees and nothing but sunny skies. Located on the east coast of the country with a modest flight time of 2 hours from London, it’s often overlooked but is in fact the third largest and the oldest…
Sunset in Seville
Seville, Spain. The capital of the Andalusia region and now has to be one of my favourite European cities I’ve visited so far. We did a weekend break here in November and were still wearing T-shirts all day. We started our first day with an early morning wake up call to catch sunrise at “Plaza…
London to San Sebastian Cycle
San Sebastian, Spain, the final destination of our 583 mile cycle from London in 6 and a half days. It sounded like a great idea, in the planning stage we compared it with our previous cycle to Venice and were determined to make it an easier and more enjoyable ride. How could it not be,…
Bulgaria in Autumn
Sofia, Bulgaria. A less popular European capital among tourists, but after spending an excellent long weekend here, there is no good reason why. Cheap travel, food and admissions, 24 degrees in late October and beautiful scenery, what is not to like! We started out with a full day in the city, the stunning Alexander Nevsky…
Devil’s Mountain
Berlin, Germany. The annual BMW Berlin Marathon was the purpose of our trip over to the German capital but with an extra day either side of the race, there was enough time to see some very interesting places around the city. My favourite place we visited was ‘Teufelsberg’ translated as Devil’s Mountain in English, it’s…
Wham, Bam, Thank you Dam!
Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This was actually my third visit here but one was just passing through and the other was a group trip with friends when we were much younger so I didn’t really appreciate it’s beauty until now. Called the ‘Venice of the north’ because of the number of it’s canals it’s a great…
Madrid to Toledo
Madrid & Toledo, Spain. After spending an enjoyable day exploring the capital, we decided on our second day to visit the ancient city of Toledo. Only an hour away by train, it turned out to be a great addition to the weekend. Toledo is most known for it’s walled old city containing a historic mix…
La Sagrada Familia
Barcelona, Spain. The only city in the world ever to be awarded a Royal Gold Medal for architecture by The Royal Institute of British Architects. From the famously unfinished Basílica de la Sagrada Família, to the abundance of parks, museums and pretty much every street in the city, Barcelona is a beautiful place. Filled with…
