Cáceres – A lovely surprise

Medieval and beautiful. The medieval town Cáceres, in the province by the same name, is yet another hidden gem. It wasn’t a town we had heard about, but by coincidence, it was the random dot, that we had set on the GPS heading north. Well, we actually don’t believe in coincidence and we were proven…

Millau Bridge – A piece of art.

Millau. A must-see. We’ve pinned some places on Google Maps, which are absolute must-see places and the first of them was the Millau Bridge. Stretching high up in the air, it is the world’s tallest road bridge. An amazing construction. The beautiful bridge looks light as a feather, despite being 2460 meters long and at…
