Travel off the beaten track and experience

Looking for magic? Let this incredible list of things to do in Lanzarote inspire your next adventure. There are some places in this world with a vibe so unique and dreamy that you feel instantly nostalgic for it, within moments of even arriving. Lanzarote is one such place. I mean ughh, even the name (best pronounced with a lispy whisper) sounds painfully romantic. Say it with me guys, lahn… tha… rot… ay… *swoon* And while this island is most commonly known for its paradise aesthetic and typical tourist appeal of sun, beach and cocktails, I’d argue there is far more to beautiful Lanzarote than a mere romp in the sand. If you find yourself here, I beg you for one small favour: escape the siren’s call of resort life and discover the unique magic of Lanzarote, a volcanic wonderland of nature and otherworldly landscapes. There are so many rewards here for those who choose to explore, and (in my opinion), the most fruitful finds are those that await beyond the resort doors. So, he...

The Black Hole of Europe So after about 11 days, Jon and I finally escaped Lagos’s suction. It was hard but as some of you have heard, Jon got mugged at gun point a couple days back…This made it easier to leave. He is OK and very lucky to be. He had been using the phone across from the hostel, as he did almost every night. He got everything important taken but fortunately they tossed his passport, visa and debit card and someone turned them into the police. So he lost his Euro rail but we do have a protection plan that will reimburse him for a portion. Again, just lucky he did not get hurt bad. Too bad that happened as I’m sure Lagos was Jon’s favorite place. We met a lot of cool people while staying at the “Rising Cock hostel” A definite party place and it will be missed, as will the black hole of Europe. But time to move on. In Seville Spain now and are going to take it easy for a couple days. Need a vacation from the vacation. It was 31 degree...

I’ve spent so much time in Spain — almost six months in total! I’ve been lucky to spend six weeks exploring Madrid and three months living in Granada, taken short trips to Valencia, Girona and Ronda, visited Barcelona three times, island-hopped in the Canaries and flown to Mallorca five times. I’m even going to be walking the Camino de Santiago next month. In short, just you try keeping me away from Spain! I can’t stop returning to one of my favourite countries in Europe. Over the time I’ve spent in Spain, I’ve learned a lot about how much it costs to travel there — and I’ve kept meticulous track of every single cent I’ve spent, too. Today, I’m excited to share just how much you can expect to spend on travel in Spain, based on my own personal experiences.  Let’s get started.  Walking the city walls of Girona Table of Contents The Cost of Accommodation in Spain The Cost of Transportation in Spain ...
