    Motorcycle haunt

    June 8 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    While Haukur got us coffee, I was fascinated by the fig tree. Too bad the figs weren't ripe. But probably better. I could have feasted on them all day. In 2018, Haukur and the club came through on their way back from Morocco.Read more

    Zahara de la Sierra

    June 8 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    The town was originally a Moorish outpost, overlooking the valley. Due to its position between Ronda and Seville, it was a perfect site for a castle to be built to serve as a fortress in case of attack. The remains of the Moorish castle still exist. It was ruled by Arabs until 1407. It was recaptured by the Emirate of Granada in 1481. This capture gave a pretext to Castile's war against Granada. It was finally captured by Castilian troops under command of Rodrigo Ponce de León, Duke of Cádiz in 1483.Read more

    Seville

    June 8 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    Exploring

    Seville is a maze of narrow streets, hidden courtyards and lively plazas. There is something new to discover around every corner, from historic buildings to small cafés and local shops. Getting lost is part of the experience and one of the best ways to enjoy the city's unique character and charm.

    Our visit was especially meaningful as our daughter spent time there as part of an Erasmus project    Read more

    Pousada de São Francisco

    June 9 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Housed in a beautifully restored former Franciscan convent, the Pousada de São Francisco blends centuries of history with modern comfort. Set in the heart of Beja, its vaulted halls, peaceful gardens, and historic character offer a unique glimpse into Portugal's past.

    Beja itself was a ghost town. A large city, the stores didn't open, we finally found a restaurant that was open for dinner. It felt very odd.    Read more
