Granada
Finally, we arrive in Granada, aka the last stop on our frantic two week tour of Andalucia and home of the most impressive alcazar around, the Alhambra (#teamalcazar). Initially built around 900 AD, the Alhambra was expanded into an opulent Nasrid dynasty palace in the 1300s by the Sultan of Granada. In the 1490s the Christian … Continue reading Granada
Ronda and the Pueblos Blancos
About two-thirds of the way through our trip we took a break from cities and our alcazar-cathedral-alcazar sightseeing pattern to drive through the Pueblos Blancos (white hill towns) between Seville and Granada. It was a real palate cleanser, and for the most part a really fun and scenic driving in our tiny hire car. We … Continue reading Ronda and the Pueblos Blancos
Seville
Onwards to Seville! Each post threatens to be twice as long as the last - this trip really gains momentum as we get deeper into Andalusia. I had high expectations for Seville after hearing my siblings rave about it, and happily it delivered. Again, there is so much to see and do in Seville, even before … Continue reading Seville
Cordoba
Leaving Madrid we headed south a few hours to Cordoba, which marked the real start of our Andalusian adventures. For a small town, Cordoba has a lot of amazing things to see and do so I'll get straight into it. Fresh off the train, we started at the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos (Castle of the … Continue reading Cordoba
Segovia
I wasn't lying when I said we spent most of our time in Madrid outside of Madrid. It made for an exhausting start to our trip, but now that I look back on the photos I'm glad that we made the effort to get out into the countryside. Our second day trip was to Segovia … Continue reading Segovia
Holy Toledo
It only took about 4 months, but I'm finally getting around to writing about our Spain trip. While in Madrid we spent our second day travelling south by train on a day trip to Toledo. It was worth the journey just for the view walking up from the station... Holy Toledo is right - the main attraction … Continue reading Holy Toledo
Endelig! Den Kongelige Familie
OK, so I'll admit my main motivation for getting back on the blog yesterday was so I could post a million pictures of the Danish royals and a whole lot of resplendent horses today... The Belgian royals - His Majesty King Philippe and Her Majesty Queen Mathilde - are visiting Denmark this week, so I … Continue reading Endelig! Den Kongelige Familie
Arken
So it's been a really long time since I've made it to the 'write blog post' item on my to do list - trivial things like 'buy crib', 'learn Danish', 'finish work' and 'research how not to kill a baby' have been taking precedence. Somewhat worryingly that last task remains incomplete, but here I am anyway - … Continue reading Arken
Madrid
Quite a lot of radio silence on the blog lately sorry - I'd like to say it's because I'm terribly busy and important, but really I've just been lazy and intimidated by the backlog of photos from our Spain trip. Until now! Let's start where we started - in Madrid. It's been a few weeks … Continue reading Madrid
