    Finca life

    It started with the WorldPackers website...and that's how I found myself in rural Spain, working on a finca (farm).
    Weeding and watering gardens cooking, cleaning and pruning olive trees...no day was boring!

  • 24 hours in Zaragoza

    August 3 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    Caught a train from Caspe to Zaragoza... I had booked a room a week earlier and, to my delight, I had forgotten it was a PRIVATE room!!! With AC!!!!!!!! 😂
    I got off the train at Zaragoza-Milaflores ( my mistake...should have been Zaragoza-Delucias) but then set up a 7km walking tour to my hotel. This allowed me to see all the major sights of this beautiful old city.Read more

  • Palacio de la Aljaferia

    August 4 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    OMG...what an amazing place to visit! The Aljafería Palace is a fortified medieval palace built during the second half of the 11th century in the Taifa of Zaragoza in Al-Andalus, present day Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain. It was the residence of the Arab Banu Hud dynasty during the era of Abu Jaffar Al-Muqtadir. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 as part of the Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon. Today, it serves as the home of the regional parliament of Aragon.
    Was the highlight of my time in Zaragoza!
