As we strolled through the ancient streets of Toledo, Spain, the very layout of the town seemed to invite us into a timeless community.

Ronda's rich history, beautiful and charming old town, and magnificent vistas make this town a true gem.

Granada, Spain has a mix of polished shopping streets, beautiful architecture, and a gritty counter-culture that all get along beautifully.

It is truly a joy to walk the streets of Sevilla. Its “old town” is the largest in Spain and one of the largest in all of Europe.

Malaga has a magnetic quality that draws you in . . . it feeds you and has you feeling more alive and energetic than before you arrived.

It feels more like we have a connection, or an attunement with the underlying rich and fascinating history of the town.

We travel for a place to ultimately land and call home. And with that in mind, Nerja would not be on our short list.

There is an unfettered enthusiasm the Valencianos have for their culture and their lifestyle that permeates the entire city.

The entire city seemed to come out to see them and be together, and the atmosphere was one of exuberance and community.

Ronda really is spectacular. It’s rich history, beautiful and charming old town, and magnificent vistas make this town a true gem.

The first time Carla and I visited Granada was nearly five years ago, and we almost didn’t go. We were staying in Valencia at the time and had gotten to know a waitress who, after hearing about our travels, told us we absolutely had to visit Granada. We took her advice, headed south, and have been grateful to her ever since. We fell in love with the city almost immediately, but nothing prepared us for the Alhambra. I had seen photographs, of course. I knew something of its hi

Some cities impress you immediately. Others take a little longer. Málaga was somewhere in between. When Carla and I first arrived, I don’t think either of us would have described it as one of the most beautiful cities we had ever seen. There were certainly beautiful streets and impressive buildings, but Málaga didn’t announce itself in the way some European cities do. It wasn’t Paris. It wasn’t Florence. It wasn’t Sevilla. And yet, within a surprisingly short time, we found o

A few months ago, Carla and I spent a month in Sevilla, Spain. We had heard all the usual things before we arrived - that it was beautiful, historic, walkable, and one of those European cities where people seem to know how to enjoy being alive. All true. What we hadn’t expected was how reluctant we would be to leave. By the end of the month, Sevilla had worked its way into that small group of places we don’t simply remember fondly, but still feel some attachment to. The stree
