In 2017 I did a big tour of Spain: I spent 3 weeks exploring Madrid, Salamanca and amazing Andalusia. Barcelona wasn’t included in my itinerary. I had visited it a couple of times before, so I decided to see other places, but Barcelona will always be my favorite. Sunny, friendly, delicious and spectacular, it has so much to offer to locals and travelers alike! If you don’t want to get […]
A list of things to do in Barcelona for free. Barcelona is one of my favorites. It has everything in one place: yummy food, history, architecture, beaches and sunny days 😊 A perfect city in all senses 😊 But there is a big disadvantage here: entrance fees to tourist sites can be too expensive. For example, visiting Casa Mila or la Pedrera, one of Gaudi’s masterpieces, costs 25 EUR if […]
I am pretty sure many people associate Barcelona, the most eclectic city in the country, with Spain. What is not to love there? Sun shining bright, sea a footstep away, delicious food, interesting history, loads of places to see and friendly people: this is Barcelona for me. I have been there several times, and quite often I think it is a perfect place to live 🙂 Anyway, here are some […]
Trust me, it is tough to choose what to see in Barcelona in one day. This city is full of places to visit, and even one week is not enough. I have been to Barcelona a couple of times, and below is my idea on how to spend a perfect day there if your time is limited. Some of the links below may be affiliate links, meaning that I will […]
I bet everyone has heard about tapas: it is an inseparable part of the Spanish culture. Tapas in Spain are perfect appetizers and their small size allows tasting more varieties and sharing it with others. Patatas aioli and tortilla are probably the most well-known traditional Spanish tapas, but there are so many more.

Many years ago I was watching the famous movie The Mask of Zorro with Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, when I heard Elena saying that she rode the horse at night across Andalusia. I did not know anything about this place, but I was sure it was stunning, and I promised myself that I would tour Andalusia one day. It turned out that I was right 🙂 This part of […]
I went to Spain in 2017 and spent exactly 3 weeks there. Of course, I did not stay in one city only but traveled the country extensively. I had previously been to Barcelona, so this time I decided to explore other parts of Spain. My 3 weeks in Spain itinerary includes a visit to Madrid, roaming through Andalusia and a trip to Salamanca, the university city. Below I give a […]
Madrid was the last point of my 3 weeks in Spain. Naturally, money was scarce already :), so I had to think of ways to minimize my expenses, especially considering that I intended to spend 4 days there. Madrid is expensive when it comes to accommodation, but its main tourist attractions are more or less affordable. And, luckily, there are many free things to do in Madrid, and here is […]
Here we come to the final stage of my solo trip: 4 days in Madrid. I am not going to lie, I was tired already, and all I wanted to do was to lie in bed and do nothing 🙂 But, considering my luck with the hotel, that was not possible and I had to go out 🙂 But let’s start with my departure from Salamanca. I chose train as […]
The famous Alhambra with its reddish walls definitely dominates the cityscape of Granada. Actually, it is the reason I went to Granada in the first place. I have always been interested and fascinated by history, so I could not miss this opportunity. Well, the main problem I encountered planning my visit to the palace complex was the tickets, so here is everything I know about how and where to buy […]
