Andalucía – Córdoba

Apologies, this post should have been written and published back in February. The city of Córdoba is beautiful and historically fascinating, and we simply loved it. With so much to see and do, it rivals other cities in Andalucía. Córdoba started out as a very important Roman city built on the only major navigable river […]

Andalucía – Málaga

Apologies, this post should have been written and published back in February. Málaga is famous for being the gateway to Spain’s beautiful Costa del Sol and the birthplace of Pablo Picasso. It has an easily accessible airport and sits right on the sea. We ended up taking three day trips to Málaga (because of said […]

Plans for Summer 2024?

It’s already mid-April, and people are asking questions… Are we going to be sailing soon? Yes! We are currently finishing up small maintenance tasks on Sabática as well as waiting for a good patch of weather, but we hope to set sail for our new season within a couple of weeks. Woohoo! Where do we […]

Reconsidering Rome

We first visited Rome as a family about seven years ago. It was the typical quick tourist visit in August – hot, crowded and we only had time to hit the highlights. We would not have said it was one of our favorite places. In addition to being crazy hot and crowded, the locals seemed […]

Andalucía – Nerja

While there are many amazing cities, sites and histories to take in throughout the region of Andalucía, there is also the Costa del Sol (Coast of the Sun), which is one of Spain’s greatest tourist destinations. Many towns line the roughly 93 miles / 150 km of coastline, and we decided to spend six weeks […]

Andalucía – Granada

If all you do is visit the Alhambra in Granada, it will be well worth the trip to this beautiful city. That’s exactly what we did. (Not to say Granada doesn’t have more to see!) A little over an hour drive from Antequera, we did a single day trip to visit this popular tourist destination. […]

Andalucía – Antequera

Our kids joined us for their Christmas holiday break from college, and we had a couple of weeks of great family time and exploration. With a rental car and a laid-back vision in mind, we rented an AirBnB in the lovely traditional town of Antequera because it is very centrally located in the region of […]

In Love with Andalucía

Ok, so it’s official. We really love Spain. Madrid and Barcelona were already our two favorite cities in the world, but now after spending two months on land in Spain’s southern region of Andalucía, we can emphatically say we really love this part of the world. Each city will deservedly receive its own blog post, […]
