Seville at Easter is quite an experience. I'm embarrassed to confess, we were completely naive and didn't realise to what extent the Sevillians celebrate Easter. I thought they'd just be a few parades on the weekends! We arrived quite late on the Tuesday night and had booked the Novotel for the first night before going to our … Continue reading Easter in Seville 🇪🇸

We stayed just East of Girona in the stunning … Continue reading Catalonian Country Life
