Women’s March, Barcelona

Cities across the world hosted these marches today to show solidarity with Washington's own march, now that Trump is president. Barcelona had a great atmosphere, despite the drizzle. Although some people may think it pointless to protest when Trump is legitimate, but to me and others democracy is not about voting once every few years [...]

Parc Guell Revisited

I did a post on Parc Guell a while back when I visited Barcelona for the first time. This time around a friend and I went to take pictures, because he had just bought himself a new camera, and I'm glad to have friends who are also into photography. We missed out the section you have to [...]

Fira de Santa Lucia

Me encanta Navidad!! Christmas is the best, I love the decorations, the festive atmosphere, the excuse to warm up with mulled wine, and how everything seems a lot more cheerful (dreading the cold days of January and February without the festivities to keep me in a good mood...)

Navidad

It really is the most wonderful time of the year...

And one of the best parts [...]

Ribblehead Viaduct

It is close to the Three Yorkshire Peaks, which is a challenging hike of three mountains to complete in one day (or in your own time), so finding muddy and weary hikers is common, and [...]

Lincoln Cathedral

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 [...]

Granada

The final destination of my Easter trip to Andalusia was the beautiful Granada. The Semana Santa processions were winding up, but we still managed to catch some sights (including a Virgin Mary float that is carried solely by women). As the south of Spain has a huge Arabic culture, it was the perfect place to [...]
