  • Travel To The End Of The Medieval World At Cabo Fisterra
    Galicia in particular and Northern Spain in general have long been considered to be a hidden jewel in the entire Spanish tourist industry and hidden away within Galicia itself are some further jewels and we are going to examine Cabo Fisterra further.

    If you look at all of the autonomous regions that make up modern day Spain, Galicia has to be the most remote and hidden away within that remoteness lies Cabo Fisterra.
  • Travel to the Spanish Capital Madrid
    Spain's capital, a city of over 3 million people, is situated close to the geographical centre of the country.

    It is a wonderful city with highly fascinating people. The paradox with Madrid is that quite often it is viewed as being second to Barcelona in terms of appeal. Given all that Barcelona has to offer and despite all this to write off the Madrid completely misses the point and at the end of the day it is Madrid that is at the centre of both the road and rail networks in Spain.
  • Travelling in Andalucia, Ten Top Places to visit.

  • Try A Night of Romance in Ourense at the Pazo de Castro
    As would be fit any major country in the western world, hotels in Galicia and Northern Spain are spacious, comfortable and clean. The categorisation for the hotels is awarded on a star system and these are allocated by the regional tourist authorities.

    If it is luxury that you are after then the best advice should be to head straight for the exclusive hotels and “Paradors” but to be honest even the basic family “casas rurales” are extremely good value for money.

    In this article we are going to take a look at the Pazo de Castro.
  • Try some Delicious Galician "Leche Frita"
    Somehow when you do a little research on the cuisine of an individual country it is quite easy to come up almost with a common theme, a common name for the food for that country. Such as English food, German food but when you consider Spanish food or if you wish to be a bit more accurate about how you look at it, food and recipes that originate from Spain there is a very convincing argument that would say it's not that simple.

    The reason for this is that you could quite easily argue that technically there is no such thing as Spanish food and the reason being for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.

  • Try something different Try Octopus “a la mugardesa”
    Nothing I guess senders more of a shiver down most peoples spine when they think of creatures from the deep than an Octopus, but funnily enough they are also quite a delicacy when prepared properly and that is the purpose of this article about a dish from North Western Spain or more specifically Galicia.

  • Why a visit to Paris will certainly not disappoint.
    I like Paris, I really do. Time spent in Paris as a young student on holiday was extremely memorable.

    From the usual sort of student things such as sitting on the steps of Sacre-Coeur nursing the obligatory monumental hangover from having been partying too hard the night before. Enjoying the quiet dignity and calm of the “Jeu de Paume.” Trying to get your head around the weirdness and wackiness of the likes of Dali, Magritte and Picasso after having savoured the serenity And peace of the likes of Monet and Camille Pissarro.
