We had both been looking forward to going to Spain, but we never imagined, that we would fall so much in love with the country as we’ve done. After all, Greece had always been our favorite, but in many ways, Spain has become our number one.
Spain is extremely diverse in types of landscapes. From beautiful mountains and dry deserts to sunny beaches and green highlands. Sometimes you don’t have to drive far to enter what seems to be a whole other country landscape wise.

It might come as a surprise that even travelers feel stuck sometimes. That their surroundings don’t inspire them enough and they really can’t find inspiration to do what they’re also supposed to do. In our case write blog posts. But it happens… When it does it’s time to bring out the big guns and seek…
Amazing little restaurant We found Mesón La Troya, because we for the first time ever, took a small road trip solely based on recommendations from our Spanish friends. The trip took place in the mid-west of Spain and one of the places we were recommended to visit, was this restaurant in Trujillo. It’s been a…
