Posted by julia on 06 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: beaches

It’s the heat of the summer here in Spain and as of July 1st, routine vacations start to happen here. 15 days for most 30 days for others. Spaniards start taking turns in July and end by August of mid September. I’m still surprised the country functions with all these people on vacation, but somehow it has been managing for years.

All I know is that everyone packs up and heads to where else the beach. And in order to know where you want to go you probably need a little more information. Well, on niumba blog, on eof my favorite Spain blogs they have put together a list of beaches by region so you can start you process of choosing where you want to go.

I personally start by vacation on the 4th, but don’t worry I have left plenty of interesting posts for you to read so you wont miss a beat or me.

Do you love horses? Do you love Spain? Great then you will enjoy a great day trip in through the hills of Montserrat which are one of the most beautiful sites around. Near Barcelona in the Catalonia region you will find what you are looking for. Rolling hills and mountains that will take you through paths of wonder.

Even if you are not an expert horse rider you can book a day trip excursion which starts you off with a mini instruction class so you can be sure you are safe. You are then lead through the valleys where you can ride or walk along some of the way. The horses are all trained and very happy natured so you need to worry. The tour is finished off with a great lunch or dinner in a local restaurant.

Hacienda de Oran in Seville

Posted by julia on 02 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: hotels, cities to visit

Looking for a hotel for a friend who was coming to Seville for a visit I came across Hacienda de Oran and it looked beautiful. I booked it for her and hoped she would enjoy. As soon as she got there she quickly called me to thank me for choosing such a marvelous hotel.

She said it was like being in a little paradise with gardens that went on forever and courtyards so magnificent. I can’t wait to go there on my next viist to Seville and experience the same for myself.
