Misadventures of a Gringo in Colombia

August 19, 2019 by Dusty and Sparky2 Comments

August 10, 2019 by Madhusree DasLeave a Comment

The enduring appeal of Andalusia is easy to understand. It’s a region that has almost every single Spanish cliché from barrel-aged sherry to flamboyant flamenco dancing and vibrant fiestas. Andalusia is home to the sun-baked patios of Seville, the gorge-poised city of Ronda, and the red-tinged Alhambra in Granada. On top of the tourist-rich highlights, dig a little deeper to find blissfully quiet and crowd-free, off-the-beaten track hidden gems … [Read more...]

I never knew kayaking could be so much fun until I tried it.
