Our favorite spots in Spain, full of sun and charm♥︎
Spain always pulls us in. Beyond the famous sights, we find quiet plazas, sun-drenched streets, and little moments that linger, a warm morning light, a hidden terrace, the joy of getting lost in the rhythm of the country. Spain is not just home for us, its a feeling and a great vibe.

Spring and autumn are ideal as the weather is pleasant and there are fewer tourists than in summer. Summer is the high season, especially on the coasts and islands. It can get very hot, particularly in the inland, but the beaches are perfect for a summer holiday. Winter is also a good time for winter sports and exploring the beautiful cities.
The train is a good and quick way to get around. Many of the big cities, including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville are well connected. Buses are also a good and cheap way to travel around the country. A rental car is a good choice if you want to explore more remote mountainous areas or coastal regions.
This is all about travel. Leave a little love. ♥︎
