The fourth place on this list of my favorite villages is located in Las Hurdes, a region in the northwest of the province of Cáceres, and is called Riomalo de Arriba. This is not to be confused with Riomalo de Abajo, which is about 25 kilometers away. Interesting fact: it

Zahara de la Sierra is, for me, the most beautiful of Andalucía’s famous “Pueblos Blancos”, the picturesque white villages which dot the provinces of Malaga and Cádiz. I recommend you do part of “La ruta de los pueblos blancos” (The route of the white towns) taking in Setenil de las Bodegas (where many houses are
We’ve landed in Ibiza. It all starts on the journey there. Everyone on that plane feels exactly the same. Dead excited. Bathed in a happy glaze which says they are a couple of gears up from normal life. We all know they’ll morph into the Walking Dead on the journey

Greetings from Salamanca, Spain and welcome to our BLOG.
We've been living in Spain for over 30 years and are looking forward to sharing insights and experiences about our much loved adopted home.
Rather than providing a trot through every city or an exhaustive what to do list when in a place, posts focus on a few of our favourite things. Places to eat, stay, drives, sunsets will feature. Some well known, some secret. And wine, cooking, sport and Spanish treats too.
"I'm calling to tell you that you are going to Salamanca next year on some new EU wheeze called Erasmus. I forgot to pick anyone last term. Going to take the first three I find who speak Spanish. ¿Tú hablas español, no?"
And so I landed in Salamanca and it all began ...
I was nineteen and aboard a train in Germany when a brochure left behind on the seat beside me entitled “Learn Spanish in Spain” caught my eye. It was packed with Spanish schools dotted all over Spain.
One city had a name that was so appealing I said it to myself out loud a few times: Salamanca. And that was that. Just a few weeks later I Ianded up here.
