We dined at two restaurants that were amazing and they both belonged to one group of restaurants - Grupo Sojo. Horno San Luis is right next to the Mezquita. And we probably wouldn't have walked in there ourselves, but thankfully one of my friends hadn't recommend it be...

The third and last tourist sightseeing we did in Cordoba, was actually outside the town. Just eight kilometres west of Córdoba stands what's left of Medina Azahara, the sumptuous palace-city built by Caliph Abd ar-Rahman III in the 10th century. The entrance is free of...

The second sight we saw in Cordoba was the gardens of the Alcazar Palace. The Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos ("Castle of the Christian Kings"), also known as the Alcázar of Córdoba, is a medieval alcázar located in the historic centre of Córdoba, next to the Guadalqui...

Since we only had two days in Cordoba, we chose three sights to visit - The Mezquita, The Alcazar Palace Gardens & Medina Azahara. I highly recommend to take a guided tour of the Mezquita - Cathedral of Cordoba (unless you have read everything about it!). The Mezquita...

We enjoyed a lovely long weekend in Portugal in the middle of October - just after the end of the season in Algarve. We opted for a beautiful and affordable 5 star resort in Carvoeiro, since we also wanted to discover the caves in that area and the resort has also been...

A few weekends ago we paid a visit to the new La Reserva beach club in Sotogrande - Spain’s first and only private beach! And I must say, I was seriously impressed! What a stunning new beach club, where you can walk and swim on the fine sand of Cádiz, in the middle of...
