Spain is a great country, spring makes it special because now everything is green and blooming, it is a color spectacle, this renewal of nature. This is now time for me to...

If I were Palumbi, the headline would sound different. I should start differently, because some readers may be surprised at our "naivety" during the trip. Before we set off,...

Three days on the Mediterranean in Spain.

My ex-neighbor from Granada, Alex, is letting me stay at his cabin in the Sierra Nevada while he's on vacation. Maybe this is the karma coming back to me after letting...

After the crazy trip to El Torcal, we meet up with an acquaintance from the motorcycle forum in Granada. Granada? Wasn't that where the Alhambra is? Yes, we would have liked to...
