Cool Spots Around Seville. March 2017. I’ll always be grateful that I had so much time to explore Andalusia. However, if one should find themselves on a whistle stop tour, it’s hard to argue against putting Seville top of the list. Following my reports from The Alcázar, Seville Cathedral and Plaza de España, this article rounds […]
Read MoreSeville Cathedral: Where Columbus Sleeps. Andalusia, Spain. April 2017. “Seen one cathedral, seen ’em all!” an American tourist declared in the queue outside Seville Cathedral. Respectfully, I had to disagree. As did, I’m guessing, most people in the long line snaking around the cathedral’s gigantic exterior. While I will never be anything remotely approaching religious, I’ve always treasured […]
Read MoreThe Alcazar, Seville. March 2017. It’s not every day you get to visit a royal palace with a thousand years of history! However, if you’re lucky enough to spend some time exploring Andalusia, you could grab yourself two in the space of a few weeks. That’s what I managed to do in the spring of […]
Read MoreStar Wars Vibes at Plaza de Espana in Seville. April 2017. I’ve seen some truly impressive city squares during my years of global travel. However, I can categorically state that none of them felt quite as dramatic as Plaza de España in the Spanish city of Seville. Wonderboy and I had been enjoying a leisurely stroll […]
Read MoreCool Spots Around Malaga. 2016-2017. Breaking News! It turns out that, once again, I didn’t take enough photos during my year in Málaga. Consequently, I find myself pushed into one of my signature roundup reports. Having already published articles on The Alcazaba, Street Art in Malaga and Where to Eat and Drink, this piece collects […]
Read MoreWhere to Eat and Drink in Malaga. 2016-2017. The Spanish city of Málaga really has it all. Sweeping squares, a large jungle park, beaches, gorgeous architecture and a vibrant art scene to name just a few highlights. Oh, and the food ain’t bad either! In fact, in this article I’ll be going through my favourite […]
Read MorePlaza de la Merced. 2016-2017. The Spanish really know how to do a city square, perhaps more than any other nation I’ve visited. In this regard, Malaga sums up the Andalusian vibe nicely, with over a dozen gorgeous squares from which one can idle away an afternoon nibbling on tapas and guzzling red wine. My […]
Read MoreStreet Art in Malaga. 2016-2017. I’ve always been a lover of urban street art. No matter what city I find myself in, I try to get at least a few shots of the most colourful and arresting murals. After my trip to Berlin (a fantastic street art city!) in April 2013, I thought how cool […]
Read MoreThe Alcazaba: Malaga’s Unmissable Fortress. 2016-2017. In the spring of 2016 I relocated to the Spanish city of Málaga. Renting a small apartment in the centre, I settled into a gentle routine of writing, reading, watching films and jogging down to the beach each day before turning back through the warming streets. To keep things […]
Read MoreHandsome Ronda and its Wondrous El Tajo Gorge. Andalusia, Spain. February 2017. I’d been looking forward to my trip to the mountaintop town of Ronda for weeks. Time and time again, I’d read that this might just be “the most beautiful town in Andalusia”. That’s a bold clam, and one I relished putting to the […]
Read MoreMarbella, The Costa del Sol. December 2016. My day trip to the Spanish city of Marbella came about quite suddenly on the back of an unfortunate mishap. The day before, I was in bed in my apartment in Malaga tapping away on my Mac. I’d only been awake for half an hour and had just […]
Read MoreNerja, The Costa del Sol. September 2016. I was at home in Malaga one lazy weekend scanning my great Andalusia to-do list. While it was pleasing to see how much I’d managed to tick off, there was of course still much to do. On that particular day my eyes were drawn to the words Balcony […]
