Porto statt Peking - einmal um die Iberische Halbinsel mit der GS

After a relaxing, cool night, I was greeted by a sunny day in the Allgäu region. My route took me along small, winding roads to Landsberg am Lech and then onward...

Today I could finally enjoy cooler temperatures again. In the morning, I drove up the Italian side of the Stilfser Joch, then turned right into Switzerland through Umbrail,...

For simplicity, I will summarize the last two days: on Wednesday, we boarded the ferry to Genoa with a two-hour delay. There was a demonstration in Barcelona (I have no idea who...

Let me summarize two days, as I still have vacation time 😅 The next tour in Barcelona took me to the famous La Rambla, the shopping and promenade street of the Catalans. But -...

What always fascinates me about Spanish cities is the contrast between incredibly spacious boulevards and neighborhoods where opposing residents can almost reach out and shake...

Since high temperatures well above 30 degrees were forecast for today, I spontaneously decided to set off at 5:30 a.m. The motorway isn't exactly busy right now.

Today was another day for sightseeing. I set off relatively early to avoid the afternoon heat. First, I took the Funicular de Artxanda to the highest viewpoint in Bilbao. From...

Today's story is a quick one: after wanting to spend another day in Bilbao to visit the Guggenheim Museum, I had to cover over 500 km on the motorway. Without the highway, it...

Porto bid farewell to me with splendid weather: crystal blue skies, no clouds in sight, a pleasant 17 degrees. The morning traffic was chaotic like everywhere else, with the...

Today, to cap it all off, we visited a UNESCO World Heritage site: the Douro Valley. The day started (and ended) with light rain, but in between it was dry and sunny. The Douro...

The internet is acting up here right now ... I'm barely able to upload pictures.... Today, Porto was on the menu. First, the only and thus last critique of this city: you can only...

Today, Lisbon's old town was on the agenda. The fastest way there? Take an Uber. But today I hadn't reckoned with the host, or rather, the professors and teachers of Portuguese.

The sun was shining from the sky, but a fierce, cold wind was blowing. So it was perfect for a little round with Vally. We quickly exited the city via the urban highway, heading...

Today, I initially explored the Belém district, where my accommodation is located. I had wanted to see the Jerónimos Monastery along with the cathedral, but quickly dismissed that...

Today’s day was relatively uneventful except for a brief moment. Late breakfast in the garden with perfect weather, then along the coastline towards Lisbon. A lot of storks lined...

Anyone who believes that the Algarve consists only of cliffs and sandy beaches should take a detour into the hinterland. For motorcyclists, it's a true revelation. The day started...

Today I traveled from Cádiz to the Algarve. The rough aim was Faro, but I usually don’t know for sure in the morning because I always book my accommodation during the drive in the...

After today's weather forecasts predicted temporary rain again, I thought to myself - let's take a vacation 😅. So I actually took a day off, slept in, and then after midday, once...

Due to the predicted weather today (rain), I decided to first drive a few kilometers on the highway toward the west (because it was supposedly dry there), then head north into the...

Today the plan was to drive to Almeria. The American weather app promised only overcast skies, but you just can't rely on information coming from the USA anymore, not even the...

As the title of today's blog suggests, this morning I left Valencia with Cartagena set as my day's destination. However, things turned out a bit differently. But let's start from...

Today, I made my way to the City of Arts and Sciences. And I was overwhelmed. The opera house is a symphony of shapes with water features and a nod to the sea. The science museum...

Wow - what a beautiful city. Architecture, history, and a relaxed life by the water! I started my sightseeing trip at the central market - I love markets. The colors, shapes,...

Today was another leg of over 400km. The destination was Valencia, where I will take my first two-day stop. To avoid the morning traffic around Barcelona, I first hit the highway...

What can be said about today’s journey? 07:50 Departure - Sunny weather at 14 degrees Italian highways are so empty on a Sunday morning, it was truly a delight. We passed Turin...

Today I traveled through the Appenzeller Land into the Rhine Valley under bright sunshine, over Vaduz towards San Bernadino, and then down the Splügen Pass to Lake Como. From...

Munich, May 1st, 8:20 AM, 10 degrees, sunny, light wind: the hairstyle is on point! 😅 Vally is ready for the big outing. First, we hit the highway towards Stuttgart to visit...
