Barcelona is not only a beautiful city, it’s funky, bustling, alive. It’s the biggest city in Spain and the capital of Catalonia. Because there’s so much going on and so many things to see in Barcelona, you’re bound to enjoy a trip to this metropolis. We caught the train in from near our campsite which saved us […]
Montserrat Cable Car
Hiking up Montserrat is a breathtaking experience that comes highly recommended. However, if you want to survive after the hike, make sure you’ve planned relaxing days that follow. Maybe take a trip to Barcelona and do a hop-on, hop-off bus adventure or hang out at the campsite with your feet up because this is a strenuous […]
Packing for a European Camping Trip
If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that I’ve been blogging my way through a epic nomadic getaways in Europe. We started in Paris and then followed the Atlantic coast southwards into Spain before going east. I’d love to do another trip like that again soon! It was really a memorable experience to travel through five […]
The Flowers of Montserrat
If I had included all the beautiful flowers that I found in the Spanish mountains, my blog post about the gorgeous hike up Montserrat would have been far too long! I’ve put together a collection of my favourite floral discoveries here for your perusal If you’re from Europe, you might not find these flowers as […]
Hiking Montserrat
This hike was one of the most beautiful ones that we did on our trip! It was a fairly long drive from our campsite south of Barcelona but so worth it. An hour’s drive inland from Barcelona lies a mass of jagged rock spires, standing out above the gentle hills surrounding it. It’s the toothy outline of […]
Camping in Catalonia
About three hours after driving over the beautiful Pyrenees, we arrived our second campsite to do some camping in Catalonia. It was situated about an hour’s drive south of the big port city, Barcelona. We wanted to visit both Barcelona and Tarragona, so we picked a campsite in between the two cities in Catalonia. […]

A Roman Amphitheatre by the Beach
Just a twenty minute drive south of our campsite, Camping Gavina, we arrived at the ancient city of Tarragona. We travelled here to see some impressive Roman ruins on the coast. This second-century amphitheatre is still quite well intact today and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The surrounding area is the oldest Roman settlement in the Iberian […]
Crossing the Pyrenees
Between France and Spain, a beautiful mountain range joins the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. The first time I went to the Pyrenees was back in 2008, for a spontaneous weekend camping trip. Already much in love with France at that point, I was delighted with the discovery of this landscape. I didn’t actually know that the Pyrenees were […]
Walking Through San Sebastián
Since we were camping pretty close to the Spanish border in Dax, we got the mad idea of driving to San Sebastián to check it out. The coastal town has big sandy beach with gives of nearby islands as one of its main attractions. The city itself is a really popular tourist spot. It […]
