I've wanted to visit Lincoln for years because I have heard it is super pretty. Well my expectations were matched! It is very ideal for tourists who love exploring pretty, winding streets full of tea rooms, cafes, shops and pubs. The eye catching landmark is the Gothic cathedral. Found after hiking up the only steep [...]

Cordoba
After Seville we travelled to Cordoba nearby. We only stayed one night, as Cordoba is smaller than other cities to explore. Covering the city centre doesn't take long, but there is still enough to see to make it a worthwhile destination! The top thing to see in Cordoba is the mosque - cathedral. It is unique as [...]

The Alhambra
The Alhambra in Granada is one of the must see places if you ever visit the beautiful city. The Moorish influence of Spain is more prominent in the southern regions of the country than the north, and the Alhambra is an amazing example of this rich heritage. Except tickets are in high demand, and [...]
Seville Cathedral//Expired Polaroid
Seville is a beautiful city in the Andalusian region of Spain, and the cathedral is a magnificent building! The day I took this was glorious and blue, but the use of expired film created a vintage effect that is no less beautiful.
Palau de la Música Catalana
This beautiful music hall is lesser known than the architectural works of Gaudi, but was one of my favourite things I saw on my trip! Designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner in the famous Catalan modernism style, it was commissioned by the Orfeo Catala choir, who hold importance in Catalan culture for their music. Nowadays [...]

It's located on Passage de Gracia - a shopping street full of designer shops such as Chanel and YSL. When this house was built it [...]
La Sagrada Familia
So first up in my mini Barcelona series is the world famous La Sagrada Familia, a magnificent basilica designed by the renowned Antoni Gaudi. Its status as one of the most famous landmarks in the world is partly due to its incomplete state - current estimated year of completion is between 2026-32, and construction began [...]
Burgos Landmarks
The other day I walked all over the city centre with my camera, having fun as a shameless tourist. I took loads of photos, and so I decided that rather than one long post and expecting you lovely readers to sit patiently for all the photos to load, I would instead divide them into two [...]
Outside the Cathedral
In the plaza are a few restaurants which offer a fantastic view of Burgos's most iconic landmark. The cathedral towers above everything in the city, and can be spotted from many viewpoints in the centre. Inside is spectacular too!
