We had spent the night at a lake north of Granada, from where we had a great view over to the Sierra Nevada, living up to its name with still visible snowfields at the 3,500 high mountain range. 50 km east of Granada lies Guadix, a town very enticing with its cave houses, which you …
From our lovely spot between the oak trees, we had made a detour to Estepona, but afterwards we went inland again to Torcal de Antequera. We had been here in February 2019 and had experienced this fantastic area with grey skies, fog and low temperatures. This time we were thankful, that it wasn’t as hot …
Since more than 30 years we own a very special American classic car, the very rare “DODGE RAMCHARGER” built in 1976. Since we own this classic car, we have invested in it each year so that it was always a very nice and joyful daily drive. In 2010, we moved the car from Austria to …
We had left the coast near Gibraltar and found a lonely place for the night somewhere. The next morning, we went to explore Castillo de Castellar. Once an abandoned village inside a castle, now revitalised by artists and with a hotel in the castle building. Afterwards we drove further inland to go for a hike …
At exactly 36 degrees latitude, the Punta de Tarifa is the southernmost point of continental Europe. The only parts of Europe farther south are islands – including the Greek island of Gavdos, which is the southernmost point of Europe. The North African capitals of Algiers and Tunis actually lie farther north than Tarifa. The distance to Morocco, and thus the African continent, is only 14 …
3 years since we left Jávea, 3 years living on 10 square metres, 3 years of travelling non-stop through Europe (Corona kept us here), 3 years during which we explored 34 countries. For sure something we wanted to celebrate! We are at the beautiful Costa de la Luz, enjoying the coastline, the beaches, the sea …
We had reached the Costa de la Luz at Cádiz, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe. The earliest archaeological remains are from the 8th century BC, as it was founded already by the Phoenicians. As Cádiz is situated on a narrow slice of land surrounded by sea‚ we started our walk around it along the …

When we reached the north of Huelva, we visited two interesting towns: Aracena and Almonaster la Real in the beautiful hills of the Sierra Morena. Isn’t it cute ? Again, the landscape is dominated by hills covered in oak trees and pastures. Here we managed to capture some of the famous pigs with our camera. …
In the mountains north of Sevilla, we cycled the route of a former mine railway. The iron ore won in the open pit at San Nicolás del Puerto was transported from 1895 onwards into the valley and to an already existing railway line. Today it is a cycling route through a very green and beautiful …
