Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Andalusia may not be an obvious choice for a visit. If you’ve never been to the region, you’ve probably never heard of it. But I think the city has plenty to offer for a short visit. There are more things to do in Sanlúcar de Barrameda than I can squeeze into a day. Sherry bodegas, Doñana nature park, and of course, the beach.
If you have crossed all the highlights of the Cádiz province off your list, it is time for the lesser-known places. Like El Puerto de Santa María. A lovely town for a detour and, how could it be otherwise, a visit to a sherry bodega. But there is more!
Sherry. Flamenco. Horses. Those three words actually sum up Jerez de la Frontera quite well. The city may not be as well known as Seville or Granada, but it should be. It is smaller, more relaxed, and very Andalusian.
White houses with dark wrought iron balconies. It is a typical image of Medina Sidonia in Spain. A village in Andalusia that is unjustly skipped by many people. Let me convince you to visit Medina Sidonia. Discover what to do.
Discover the cute white villages of Andalusia on a scenic drive. Beautiful views and winding mountain roads alternate with cute street corners and cozy tapas bars. All the ingredients for a great day of ‘village hopping’.
Arcos de la Frontera in Andalusia is a town full of narrow alleys, white houses, small monuments, and much history. You are assured of beautiful views thanks to the fantastic location of Arcos de la Frontera on top of a huge rock. It is the favorite white village in this region of many visitors. Find out why.
A stone’s throw (depending on how far you can throw) from Amsterdam are the beautiful Dutch villages of Volendam and Marken. They have been tourist hotspots for years because they are so very Dutch. There is plenty to do for a day of fun: from the traditional tourist photo to badass cruising on a fat bike. Let go explore Volendam!
In the southwestern part of Lake Garda lies the beautiful town of Salò. Salò has a walking boulevard for seemingly endless strolling, many outdoor cafes to test, and a handful of beaches to laze on.
The setting is almost magical, and the view over Lake Garda is breathtaking. It is tranquil on the roads in Tremosine sul Garda, and that’s a good thing. The narrow winding roads offer hardly any space for passing traffic. Oncoming traffic probably scares me more than the famous horror terrace I’m driving up to. And yet, the Tremosine sul Garda mountain route is one you should not miss.
