  • Rainy Street in Madrid

    I didn’t take many photos of the weekend I spent in Madrid, but this was my favourite. I also liked how the black and white edit came out when I was messing around with the photo on Instagram. Couldn’t decide which I preferred so here, have both 😉

  • Best Places to Wine and Dine in Burgos

    Perhaps one day you will find yourself in the cold, northern Spanish city of Burgos. I’d certainly recommend a visit: its cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its second main attraction is a fascinating Museum of Human Evolution, and its certainly pretty enough to make you want to spend the day taking hundreds of…

  • San Sebastian Polaroids

  • Bilbao Polaroids

    For some reason I have neglected posting recent polaroid photos from my travels. Probably because I’m a bit lazy and it takes a little bit of effort. So here are the three I took from when I visited Bilbao last month. The film I used was The Impossible Project’s Lucky 8 (meaning 7 have a red frame and…

  • Santander

    Last Friday I was packing last minute to spend the long weekend away, Santander being the first of two cities I would visit. I was full of the flu, and raging because I couldn’t find my jeggings. However I had wanted to visit Santander since I first arrived in Spain, so I was looking forward…

  • San Lesmes

    Today in Burgos was the festival of San Lesmes – the patron saint of the city. Inquiring about it, it didn’t seem like it was celebrated by many locals, but definitely thought it worth checking out! There was a parade (which we overslept for), food stalls with giant queues, but best of all was seeing…

  • The Abbey of Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas

    On an unusually sunny and warm (!!!) January day in Burgos, I went with friends to a local Monastario. A translation would be a convent, as it is where nuns live (around 150 in its prime, nowadays around 30 nuns live here). A Monastario can either be for monks or nuns, but obviously not both…

  • Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain

    Hola! This Saturday just gone consisted of a last minute booking to spend the day in Bilbao with fellow English teachers in Burgos. Bilbao is the capital of the Basque country in the north of Spain – an area filled with it’s own unique cultural heritage. One prominent example is the Basque language – very…

  • Why Travelling is better for the soul than Tourism

      Travelling…tourism… each suggest two very different aspects of going on holiday, but can also be incredibly similar. What actually is the difference? Travellers make me think of backpackers with a checklist of countries in their mind, whereas tourists make me think of families on holiday. But the lines cross when you go on holiday with…

  • Polaroids from Barcelona

    Personally these are some of my favourite polaroids I have ever taken. The colours developed with very cool tones, but it still captured the colourful and beautiful essence of Barcelona. The view from Casa Battlo’s rooftop terrace La Sagrada Familia The dragon from Paerc Guell Casa Battlo   And with these my mini series of…
