Apart from the bullring, the most famous landmark of Ronda is the Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) which connects the new town with the old town. Both are separated from each other by a gorge, which is more than 100 meters deep. The bridge is located not far from the bullring. And it attracts a lot of tourists! Lars and I…

We do have an adventurous life or certainly not a boring one. Last week, Lars and I unexpectedly stayed in Nerja and Torrox, but without a laptop, hence no work on the website. We did see some new sights though (of course), tasted new food and took lots of pictures. But more about that in another post. Anyway, if you…

It was the beginning of October 2018. The feria in Torrox was in full swing and Lars and I had troubles sleeping at night because of all the partying going on outside. So, we decided to go on an escapade to Ronda. This destination had been on our wishlist for quite some time and this seemed to be the right…

Yesterday the weather was so fine that Lars and I decided to go for a long – and spectacular! – drive, but more about that next week. Anyway, that’s the reason there was no post yesterday.

We usually stay away from touristic places, but the Mezquita in Cordoba is too magnificent to skip. Anyway, Lars and I arrived there early in the morning of a hot day in August. What does Wikipedia have to say about this architectural gem? According to a traditional account, a small Visigoth church, the Catholic Basilica of Saint Vincent of Lérins, originally stood on the site.[10][11][12] In 784 Abd…

This is a region in the province of Granada, located on the south slopes of the Sierra Nevada. Lars and I had often seen roadsigns towards this location and somehow we thought that one afternoon would be enough to explore it. We were wrong! Anyway, we started our tour in Lanjaron: This is a spa town with a beautiful historic…

Before you think that Lars and I crossed the ocean, there is also a Santa Fe in the province of Granada. By the way, the Santa Fe in New Mexico was named after this one. When we arrived, we could park our car at the main plaza of the town. First things first, before we do some exploring, it was…
