Amalfi Coast – October 8th – 10th 2017 Positano was one of the towns on the coast we wanted to visit. The photos looked absolutely breathtaking and we wanted to experience it for ourselves.

Valencia – September 29th – October 1st 2017 Our days spent outside of Valencia were relaxing and lazy for the most part. A quick walk to the beach was perfect. Only a block away and we arrived at a beautiful beach (apart from that there was no sand almost it was all rocks). The sea...

Porto to Valencia – September 27th – 28th 2017 Porto was lovely but I will admit that it was quite foggy while we were there. We didn’t mind the fog but when the sun actually came out we got our butts out the house and spent some time on the beach. There were awesome climbing...
