“We should go,” says Maria, “It’s 10.30pm and it will take us half an hour to walk there.”
We mix G&Ts and vodka and Red Bulls for the journey and set off from the Benidorm Plaza Hotel to walk to the Sports City Guillermo Amor. […]
The windows of Benidorm Town Hall have the names of every citizen resident in the town at the time the building was constructed, etched into the glass. […]
“Where’s the castle?” asked the woman as she arrived, breathless, at the top of the turret of Alcozaiba – the iconic bell tower of the Castell de Guadalest.
“It’s not here. There are just some more steps and then nothing,” replied her husband.
And they’re not alone. All around us I can hear people asking how and where they get into the castle. […]
Cuisine and nightlife in Oviedo in Asturias tend to reflect the character of the city – hearty, lively and generous…very, very generous. As tourism is mainly of the Spanish variety, there are no tourist traps as such, just plenty of honest, down to earth eateries and sidrerías […]
We’d recommend that you grab a map from the tourist office and just set off exploring the old town of Oviedo. There’s hardly a street that doesn’t have something of interest. But if we had to pick out our favourite spots, this is what they’d be. […]
“That’s the Gran Hotel Bali and it’s the tallest building in Spain”, grins my taxi driver as we speed towards the mini Manhattan skyline on the horizon. […]
It’s strange the nonsense that can pop into your head, but the first reaction my brain had to the vision of the ruddy volcanic cone rising above a strip of pale golden sand was to play Bali Ha’i from musical South Pacific. […]
Thanks to Islandmomma for nominating Buzz Trips to take part in the My 7 Links travel blogging initiative. I love the categories – nice and meaty – and they got the grey cells working overtime… […]
Standing almost atop Spain’s highest mountain is a humbling experience for a couple of reasons. The first that at 3718 metres, Mount Teide on Tenerife is damn high. The second is that as you can see all the way to sea level from the mountain… […]
This is a photograph of a couple of old guys preparing to embark on a fishing trip from the harbour of a Spanish seaside resort right? No…wrong, this is actually a picture of a hotel which should have the imagination of avid readers well and truly captured. […]
They’re warped and uneven, their styles are all over the place and the rule of thumb as far as their colouring is concerned seems to be – you can use any shade you want as long as it’s not the same as your neighbour’s. […]
It’s been bothering me ever since the phrase ‘El Celler de Can Roca has been voted the world’s second best restaurant in the S.Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2011’ first reached my ears across the twittersphere. I mean, who in their right mind wants to be known as the second best anything? […]
Pan tomate (I’ll stick with the Costa Brava version) is generally regarded as a breakfast dish, although in reality it’s served pretty much at any time of the day throughout Costa Brava and Catalonia. […]
I’m a big fan of chorizos – I love to see them hanging from the ceiling in food shops and atmospheric tapas bars. I like them even better when they’re in my mouth having been fried in savoury stews, served sliced with Manchego cheese… […]
