Before moving to Spain we had never visited Valencia. You don’t seem to hear as much about this city as you do Barcelona or Madrid, but it’s such an amazing place to visit and has become one of our favourites. Is Valencia worth visiting? Yes! A perfect mix of old and new, there is so…

As I was writing my last post on the best things to do in Granada, I started thinking about some of the things we found when visiting that might be of use to other travellers and thought they warranted their own post. Visiting a new city can be daunting, especially if you don’t speak the…
One of our favourite Spanish cities that we’ve visited (so far), Granada is located in the Andalusia region, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
