“Petiscos” & Tips – Porto Food Experience
Porto Food Tour With A Difference
I love my food. Food for me should be an experience, not just something for survival's sake. That's one of the reasons that anytime I travel I like to find out as much as I can about the local cuisine.

Street Art In Porto
Normally when I travel anywhere I don't tend to go on tours. Instead, I prefer to do a little research online and see places on my own schedule. This time in Porto however, I saw a trip that really interested me. It was a walking tour of the city, with the emphasis on viewing much of the street...
Porto Here I Come!
So I decided to take my first trip to Porto as I have heard so many positive things about the place.
I got out the good old Kayak app and found a great deal for a return flight from London Stansted to Porto for £44. That's cheaper than going by train to Manchester and back! Although the only...

Seville By Bus
One thing about Seville that I like is that you can get anywhere by bus. The city is served by a network of buses run by company Tussam.

The Crystal & Glass Museum in Malaga
As La Colina is just a few stops by train from Malaga Centro station I decided to go into town for the day. My plan was to find somewhere interesting to visit, have a nice lunch before taking a leisurely stroll around and then coming back to La Colina for dinner.
Before I left England, I had...
Molino de Inca Botanical Gardens – Torremolinos’ Best Kept Secret
Hidden just outside the town centre on Camino de los Pinares is a little secret that few tourists know about. The Molino de Inca Botanical Gardens.
Just behind the Aqualand Water Park is this small, beautifully laid out, tranquil botanical feast. Just over 20 minutes walk from the centre...
Taking Time Out In La Colina
I felt it was time for another trip, so I logged into Kayak and started to look for somewhere to go. The only rules I laid down was that it had to be somewhere sunny (out went Bilbao) and had to be no more than three hours flying time from the UK.
After a little research, I decided on a...
