We arrived in our airbnb at Bilbao in the early evening, and were taken through the home by our host who moved out of the apartment to live with a friend for the duration of our stay. Fortunately, the apartment came with a parking spot. Navigating to said parking spot, however, was a bit of […]

Our accommodations in Lafuente was a “cottage” in the tiny village of Lafuente. The village comprises a handful of homes and a church, nestled in the mountains.

Segovia’s aqueduct bridge is one of the most well-preserved Roman elevated aqueducts and was a must-see while we were in Spain. Fortunately, it’s on the way from Madrid to Lafuente.

We spent four weeks in Sevilla. Aside from walking 480 km in our explorations, we also spent many hours relaxing in our airbnb apartment and rooftop courtyard.
