Day 49, 50, 51 In Barcelona
Prit and I are coming back here maybe 15 years later lol weird ! He was here for a stag and at a different time I came here for a hen do. How times have changed ! We had two days of sun and one day of heavy rain ! Imagine a whole day in with the kids in an apartment luckily ! Drove us insane. But th...
Day 46, 47, 48 in Zaragoza
OMG what a beautiful basilica! We had the view from our rooms so it was even more beautiful in the evenings. Shame we were all in our rooms by 9pm lol no romantic walks happening for us lol It was a lovely place to visit and to nearly end our trip. Of course it’s all about food and drinks here which...
Day 45 in Laguardia - La Rioja region
We are in the world of wineries! Driving into to this region was amazing - vineyards, awesome winery buildings, greenery. It was so nice i was so excited to come here ! It has been lovely seeing all the different locations, regions and this section was still different and nice in its own way. We dec...
Day 41, 42, 43, 44 in San Sebastián
San Sebastián - apparently one of the places to go too. Yes i agree! Beautiful beach and there is no wind! There are lots of bars, restaurants (but an issue for us as they don’t open until 8pm) shopping, etc the girls had a lovely surprise visit from one their fav kaka’s (Uncle) and it really got us...
Day 39, 40 in Bilbao
Sorry I am bit late in writing the posts - stupid internet and it has been a little crazy. So we stopped off at Santander for lunch- and no not the bank lol but yes where the bank was originally formed! We had wished we stayed here a couple of nights - beautiful place and lots of things to do - espe...
Day 38 in Santillana del mar
This place was just as a pit stop before driving to Bilbao. and there was literally nothing to do here, we arrived and we were in the middle of nothing so we were like of bloody hell this is going to be an interesting evening and night. in the end we had a lovely dinner a couple of glasses of red wi...
Day 36, 37 in Oviedo
Nice place again and I went shopping again lol the only hard part so far is the last few places we are in hotels and not an apartment, therefore we have to look for places to eat and the biggest challenge has been that for lunch in Spain everything opens at 1pm ( our kids eat at 12pm otherwise they...
Day 34, 35 in A Coruna
originally Prit said to me that he wanted to come here , my response was there is nothing up in the top left corner of Spain what will be do there ? Lol Prit said there are humans, cities and towns that live all over Spain. I was like fine let’s go. A Coruna was a really nice place! We chilled , ate...
Day 31, 32, 33 in Porto
It was time for a nice three day no visiting any large attractions in Porto. We had a lovely apartment to just chill out and give our little girls legs a break from walking. And ours from pushing the damn buggy and lifting the girls when they start kicking off. we sort of did exactly this until day...
Day 30 in Coimbra
This was a nice pit stop - Coimbra has Portugal’s oldest university at a little hilltop! All tourists come here to see this university. Did we go inside? Hell no ! We saw the hill and thought nope ain’t happening and plus these kids will not last inside. In the end we chilled out and went for a nice...
Day 29 and 30(am) in Sintra
this place is 100% WOW! We didn’t even know it existed and we have never been told about it. The only reason we came here is because I had found this random palace on google and it said to go see it. There is more to Sintra than Pena Palace , if anyone wants a long weekend or if you want to book you...
Day 27, 28 in Setubal
This was a pit stop place and it was ok but strange at the same time. Parking was a headache and the apartment was not child friendly at all! Who has a third floor apartment with a glass door that literally is the end of the wall and goes to the ground outside - who does that! There wasnt much to do...
Day 23, 24, 25, 26 in Lagos
We are half way through our trip now and we crossed over to Portugal for I think around ten days. Literally the cross over was a bridge , no passport control nothing ! Just the usual toll charges that are killing us. we safely arrived at Lagos and the apartment was amazing and the best one so far, B...
Day 20, 21, 22 in Seville
We spent a lovely three days and three nights in Seville ! But my god it was crazy hot up to 37 degrees so between 12-5pm we stayed in the apartment. Seville was a beautiful place and we definitely recommend it. Lovely things to see and do Of course the highlight was going to Alcazar palace where th...
Day 18, 19 in Gibraltar
We spent the morning of day 18 hanging about the Bendalmena resort and as usual left after lunch so kids sleep in the car. However upon arrival of the next accommodation which was just outside Gibraltar borders it was amazing views of the big rock and it almost felt like we were going home we arrive...
Day 15, 16 , 17 in Bendalmena
again I will try a short summary lol we arrived at our resort for the next three days and decided to upgrade to all inclusive and therefore decided we are not moving from this place. It was time for a little relaxing and being fed by someone else! It it was a lovely resort and we definitely recommen...
Days 12, 13, 14 in Granada
I will try keep this short - we got to Granada late afternoon so just chilled in the apartment - which had the view of a Bull ring which was cool. Next day we did the trip to Alhambra palace ( it took me over a month of checking for tickets four times a day and we just about got some tickets when I...
Day 11 in Lorca
We only came here as a pit stop as Granada is a long drive away. Stayed in a nice hotel with connecting rooms so we couldn’t be bother to go anywhere as the main little town was a 30 min walk which we are not going to attempt with these three, especially as we have a new challenge - Ashie has decide...
Day 10 in Torrevja
i am going to start to write these posts quick and short as I think 50 days of it is going to be a lot We got to Torrevieja and we first went to see a pink strawberry coloured salt lake which was cool and then we just about found the apartment - and again the carpark was underground but this time it...
Day 9 in Lunch in Calp
Not much to say here apart from we literally went to Calp for lunch as it was on the way to Torrevieja and I am wanted to see this large rock Prit said to me - are we going here just to see a rock lol It ended up being a really nice area and a lovely lunch ! And the rock looked great lol
Day 8 in Denia
Nice little town full off elderly people lol ok so we stayed in a old persons hostel lol yes it was an experience but for one night worth a shot. Room was crap but the place is literally on the beach and the breakfast was lovely so it made up for it. so we got there and went for a walk and had some...
Day 5,6,7 in Valencia
Lovely apartment but a little too open so putting the girls to sleep has been really hard work for Prit. We went to the Bioparc and L’Oceanografic over the two days - we loved it ! The highlight was the Beliha Whale so far it has been great doing all this but we have to admit it is hard with the thr...
Day 4 in Tarragona and Castellon de la plana
We went to Tarragona for lunch - “lots of ruins - lovely place then after lunch drove to Castellon de la plana for one night stay- here OMG the parking was tiny underground - very very hard! Well done to Prit and then it was one of those places where nothing opens until 8pm for dinner- we were about...
Day 3 in Sitges
Not much to say today - we ventured out for brekky and as you can see by the photo they girls thought it was Christmas when they saw their banana pancake breakfast lol after we just walked about , found a playarea on the beach- Prit chased the two during this bit while I relaxed with Eshan and watch...
Day 2 in Sitges
Today was a lovely first day (but with plenty of Ashie meltdowns- she was still not herself today) Brekky in the apartment - then eventually we got out and went for a walk, did a bit of site seeing and of course the girls played in the sand which they loved. we has lunch out at an awesome falafel pl...
Leaving London and arriving at the first destination
Well we were all out the house for 9.30am! And I must say it was an interesting journey with the three! Poor Ashie is still recovering from a 5 day high fever so she did have a few meltdowns but otherwise the kiddies were good kids the whole way. We are all Shattered of course - and It’s all about m...
