"Men need women so they don't die when they sniffle" Saturday 14.03, this is a very special day. - Not because we are already at 9:48 at the ferry from Ibiza in the direction of Denia. - But simply because this is our wedding day. - Today...

"Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it." - Winston Churchill You either like the wind or you don't. - I don't think there's much in between. - Our relationship to the wind is best described as windward and leeward. - While I am facing the wind...

Today is a very special and at the same time an absolutely unspectacular day for us. - But the former we notice only towards evening. We also wake up later than usual today. This is probably due to the fact that we are both restless because of the strong wind....

This morning I wake up quite late, it is only shortly before 8. The night was restless, it was very, very windy. Although we took shelter in an old dried out river bed, our van was shaking quite a bit from time to time. According to our app Windy there was....

Even the best salesman sometimes sells himself short. - But a deal is a deal - when Geronimo asks me if I could help him create a drone video, I'm all fired up. Even more so when I see what he has in mind. When...

We slept wonderfully, only when I step out of the van, we become aware of the beauty of the property. Right next to us, are some palm trees and behind them a small but nice pool. The finca, which we saw yesterday only from the inside, is decorated with...

This morning, for once, the alarm clock wakes us up. Our daily program is tightly timed. Something that rarely happens on our tour. But of course, our morning coffee ritual is on the agenda first. Then we get Hector ready for takeoff....

For a visit to Valencia with camper, the campsite Coll Verd is ideal. It is nothing special, rather plain and simple and you can hear the highway, but the staff is particularly friendly and the location is great for a sightseeing tour to Valencia....

Torgit: When I wake up this morning it is cold, not to say freezing cold. We haven't had the heater on for a few days, because it was quite warm at night, 13 degrees. Today it is much colder, only 8 degrees. Quickly down to Marc warm cuddle. He is...

After leaving the Alhambra yesterday, we are looking for a little rest. In the last days we have collected many impressions, Ronda, Setinil, Olvera, Caminito del Rey, Lobos Park, Antequera and last now the Alhambra in Granada. Perfect now would be a place...

We wake up relatively early. Expectantly. After all, we have big plans for today: The tour of the Alhambra. We spontaneously booked tickets online yesterday. Although we have previously read everywhere that you have to buy tickets weeks in advance, we spontaneously...

Coming from the reservoirs Guadalhorce and Lobo Park, we drive past Antequera and see already from a distance a castle. It is quickly clear that we are not just passing by here, we are going to see it. The Alcazaba is one of the largest medieval fortresses...

Moin Together, certainly has not escaped one or the other that I have "Marc" in the last few days in our blog a little restrained. - Is clear, he has once again done nothing!? - It was not quite so, I draw me for example for the...

Our next stop here in Andalusia on the Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos (Road of the White Villages) is Olvera. Olvera is also a typical white village on a hill, i.e. around a mountain extends a white sea of houses. However, here you can already see...

We got a tip via Facebook that Setenil was worth seeing. I know that many, especially younger people, laugh at Facebook as antiquated, but I often generate valuable information from Facebook that I don't get so easily from Instagram....

Ronda Andalusia is not only known for sun, beach, flamenco and red wine, but also for its beautiful capital Seville and the white villages in the mountains of Andalusia. Only 50 km north of the Costa del Sol lies Ronda, probably the most famous white village...

Today we are on tour for one month. We have traveled to three countries: Netherlands, Belgium and France. Especially in Normandy and Brittany we spent a lot of time. But felt it was still too little time. In Brittany alone we could have...
