It's over ten years since we lasted visited Ronda, and that was a flying visit, as we were en route to Seville for Semana Santa. But it imprinted such a memory that we always said we'd return for a longer visit, and in August we did just that. The summer of 2024 has...
Our roadtrip around Andalucia has introduced us to some incredible places, and definitely places we probably wouldn't have otherwise discovered, if we hadn't been "in between homes". One such place which will stay in our memories for a very long time, is a hotel in an...
Situated in the southern Andalucian town of Medina Sidonia, Ático 73, Victoria, is advertised as an adults-only hotel. Although we're not averse to staying in places which are child friendly, it's nice sometimes to know that peace and quiet are probably most...
When we booked a four night stay recently in Tarifa, La Guardia apartments seemed a pretty perfect choice. Self-catering, right in the centre of the old town, in the middle of all of the action, contemporary and stylish judging by the photographs, and although not the...
Sometimes, you find somewhere to stay, that is just so exceptionally beautiful, you spend your whole stay, drinking in the interiors, the exterior, the accessories and accessorisation, and just well, the whole thing. On our roadtrip across Spain, we've been so lucky...

We recently made a very exciting trip to Jimena de la Frontera, one Andalucia's white washed villages, deep in the south west of the region. More on why we were visiting here. We had to do an overnight stay and so set about finding somewhere that matched our criteria...
Archidona first came onto our radars when we caught an episode of "A Place In The Sun" and this was the location. Not many places on this TV programme immediately appeal to us, as many are in tourist hot-spots, but Archidona, with its cobbled streets and white washed...
Currently, most of what we own is in a storage unit, back in Istria, and we are travelling light (although the packed car would suggest otherwise), as we move around Andalucia, getting to know the region of our new home. The purchase hasn't completed yet, so we don't...
Since our house in Istria went on the market in March 2024, after we completed the new garden to the rear of the house and did much internal refurbishment, our minds have been focused on finding our new home. We knew that our Istrian adventure had come to an end. For...
