220-221 Colourful Granada

Mark has been keen to visit Granada for months so I’d left all the planning to him. He was keen to stress it was a tootling about place, so he didn’t have my usual long list of sites to see. Thinking we wouldn’t be too long as it was Sunday and all the shops were …

205-7 Valencia city of contrasts

Our travelling pace has slowed considerably and arriving late afternoon on the edge of Valencia we opted to wait until the morning to get the bus in and explore. We were blessed by a bright day and chose to wander by Gulliver’s Park and the central district, seemingly circling the Central Market. The streets around …

124 – Views, caves and yet more sculpture

Compared to my first visit to Prague over a decade ago, there seems so much more to see or do…or perhaps I didn’t research it well enough the first time. There definitely wasn’t the high density of stag parties and drinks I’d been warned about. A few but no worse than Norwich. My legs were …
