On our way to Granada, we stopped for a couple days in Cabo de Gata-Nijar National Park and stayed near La Fabriquilla beach. We relaxed on the beach and watched the sunset both nights. Granada is located in the Andalusia region of Spain, approximately 30km from the Sierra Nevada Mountains and at the confluence of … Continue reading 2024 Granada, Spain
As we were driving south from Valencia, we planned on stopping at a canyon with a river, waterfall and pools. It was well worth the visit. We went for a swim and watched the local teenagers jumping off the cliffs. We were going to stay at a campground in Bocairent, located in the Sierra Mariola … Continue reading 2024 Bocairent, Spain
We took an 8 hour overnight ferry from Vallencia to Mallorca Island. It was quite the experience with the ferry. Very different from BC Ferries that is for sure. They backed on some of the large rigs and had everyone turning around on the ship to get off. It was a bit chaotic with the … Continue reading 2024 Mallorca Island, Spain
On our way to Valencia, we stopped in Tarragona to check out the Ferreres Aqueduct, also known as the Pont del Diable or devil’s bridge.

We weren’t in the city … Continue reading 2024 Valencia, Spain
We did not plan this but the 37th America’s Cup Barcelona was just starting when we arrived. We had a good time looking at the boats and hanging around the marina. We walked through the streets of Barcelona all day (10 hours). I think it is the busiest city I have ever been in and … Continue reading 2024 Barcelona, Spain

It is a medieval walled city in the valley of the Aude river – the gap between the Pyrenees and the Massif Central. The wall that surrounds the city is 3 km long and we walked its … Continue reading 2024 Carcassonne, France
We spent a few hours in Montpellier. We would have spent longer there but the weather was terrible and I was not feeling well. Despite the rainy, cloudy weather… Montpellier was stunning. Continue reading 2024 Montpellier, France
Parking has been a problem for us in France. We have missed out on some exploring because we couldn’t stop or park anywhere (not even a quick stop). We have learned our lesson and took a train from our campground in Couronne-Carro to Marseille. The train was expensive but it was worth it I think. … Continue reading 2024 Marseille, France
We drove through some amazing cities in South Eastern France. Nice, Antibes, Saint Tropez. We stayed at a great campground near Frejus. A nice break from all the driving through busy cities with no parking haha. Had a coffee and croissant by the marina. So many boats! Found this cute little guy in our campground. … Continue reading 2024 Frejus, France
We drove to Monaco to check the city out. There were a few things we had hoped to see while there. Unfortunately, there was literally no parking anywhere. Pictures are disappointing to me as it is hard to take good pictures while in a moving vehicle. We drove and drove through Monaco and all parkades … Continue reading 2024 Monaco
