When planning our route, we had no idea that Spain offers such a great variety of desert and rock formation tours. After the Cowboy Tour, we traveled to the land of knights. The...

One of the least rainy and hottest areas in Spain is the Sierra de Tabernas. A landscape that is lonely, rocky, barren, and with a unique structural pattern. About 30 years ago,...

The small town of Cazorla was another stop we reached on winding country roads. The place borders a large nature reserve with magnificent mountains and lakes. With some...

Already at home during the planning of our trip, I noticed this area because of the great photos. From Granada, we traveled to this area via the Sierra Nevada and put together a...

We decided to only visit one or two major cities in Andalusia (or even in all of Spain) as we prefer to stay in the countryside. Instead of Cordoba, we visited Granada because...

It has been some time since our last blog. From Tangier we took the fast ferry to Tarifa and are now in Spain. The culture shock was great, we first had to digest what we were...

'al-Hamdu li-Llah' or, in short, 'hamdullah', means in everyday use 'we are fine' or 'thanks to Allah'. After a detour to Azrou (this time all cherries were ripe, on the...

Because it is still Ramadan, there is no bread to buy even in the morning, not even at the campsite. Still, no restaurant is open where you can take a tea break or have some...

Driving along the coast from Agadir to Essaouira was too uninteresting for us, so true to our motto, we turned off again. At the town of Aourir, we took the small P1001 road to...

We are in Agadir and taking a break from camping life. A hotel right on the beach, with rooms, balcony, and sea view. The hotels here are almost empty, so there are Ramadan...

In order to find some coolness in the mountains, we moved to the town of Tafraout at 1100m. Upon entering this small, manageable city, our external thermometer still showed a...

To escape the heat, we drove southwest from Guelmim to Ksar Tafnidilt. A beautiful Ksar (Fort) that was rebuilt next to the old, decaying one. It functions as a hotel with a...

At the last station in Foum Zguid, the thermometer rose to over 40 degrees, which bothered us during the day. Driving through the landscape in the car was not a problem as we...

After it rained on us at a small campsite outside Tinghir at night, we packed our tent wet and drove towards Marrakech. In the small village of Thaourirte, we noticed a small...

We left the beautiful spot at Lac Tislit and drove to Agoudal. Just like on the way to the lake, there are many children in the villages here who run onto the road when a...

After the beautiful Lac Afnourir, we stayed in a hotel in Beni Mellal for a night, albeit unintentionally, because we couldn't find a cozy camping site. The following day, we...

our travel blog appears somewhat irregular. The reason for this is our SIM card that we bought based on recommendations from travel books. Sometimes we have full reception with...

We landed on a beautiful somewhat remote campsite near the small town of Moulay Idriss. The place is surrounded by greenery and adorned with many flowers. We have to get used to...

After the somewhat chaotic ship arrival in Tangier and a short night, but a wonderful breakfast, we set out on a discovery tour. With flags waving and rousing marching music, we...

We know the ferry port in Savona, as we have already traveled from this city to Corsica several times.... but oops, the port of the Grimaldi ferries is at the other end (by the...

Safiye, our Italian guide, showed us what students do when they feel like visiting a big city. A comfortable train took us from Bra right into the city of Turin. We were amazed...
