One thing leads to another We first visited Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo and the Spanish stud back in 2018 and since then we have been back several times. Also in the nearby village called Fuente Obejuna. Often we refer to it as “at the stud” and since we love that place so much, it really deserves its own…
Alicante, the province and the city Alicante was one of the places we had pinned on Google Maps, as a must-see. The whole province was supposed to be filled with sights and things to explore. Especially the esplanade in the city was supposed to be magnificent. And the rumors were true. We could easily have…
Okay to write about Corona? I’ve felt this blog post coming for a few days but been unsure if it was okay to write about the Corona Virus. After all, people are dying, losing their jobs and many live in fear. Is it okay to write about something, that is not all joy? I’ve decided…
Following a recommendation. We had been told by several people, to visit Cordoba and so we did. The city is one of Spain’s oldest cities and was founded long before Roman times. Its historic center is on UNESCO’s World Heritage list and one can certainly understand that. Cordoba has so much to offer. Some of…
Breaking the rules. Mining and the iron industry were the foundation of the city of Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo from the beginning of the 1900s. During our visit to the city, we could not resist sneaking into the ruins of the giant iron and coal plant. There was something majestic about the tall chimneys and one could almost…
A rural spot by the lake. One of the best experiences we have had, has been our stay in Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo. In fact, the plan was to spend a few days, but due to the hospitality of the Spanish it became a few weeks instead. We found the campsite itself, as so often before, at Campercontact…
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…
A genuine Eva-day. Visiting Rio Safari Elche is indeed a genuine Eva-day. A day filled with petting and feeding animals. Normally we feed everything from cats and dogs to birds and lizards on daily basis, but feeding large exotic animals is something extra. And yes, you read it right, we do feed lizards. They are…
A good workout. If you are in Alicante, you should explore the Santa Barbara Castle (Castillo Santa Barbara). The castle is situated at Mount Benacantil and the walk up to the castle does the leg muscles good (unless you choose to take the car). The amazing view makes the walk worth it and it’s said…
