Adventures in Granada Province

Our adventures in the Province of Granada took us to tiny villages, old churches, and, of course, to the world famous Alhambra.

Food in Andalusia

In Spain, food isn't just about sustenance. It is an art and a way of life. This is what I love about food and one of the many things I love about Spain.

House Sitting in Andalusia

Our home was located on the edge of the village, overlooking the reservoir and nearby mountain ranges. There were three living areas on the property: the main house, a downstairs apartment, and a livable cave. Unlike most other house sits, we were actually living with our host and her nephew, along with her seven cats.

Journey to Our House Sit in Spain

Our journey from Switzerland to our house sit in Spain was an adventure in itself. Once again, the flights were a little overpriced, so I put my crazy planning skills to work and found us transportation for a fraction of the price. But the road was long and more than a little bumpy. Only days before we set off on our 1,000 mile journey from our house sit in Mannedorf, we received a sad call from our host.

Spain – Alicante and Valencia

The last two stops of our Trans-Atlantic Crossing were in the cities of Alicante and Valencia along the southern coast of Spain. They were little slices of paradise, each one beautiful and special in their own way. Unfortunately, we only had a few hours ashore in each city, which merely whetted my appetite to explore more of this amazing country.
