Roller skating in Salamanca

24 June 2018Leave a comment

What Salamanca didn't have in skateparks, it made up for in outdoor skating opportunities - but beware the hills! Salamanca is full of cycle paths that can also be used for roller skating. A lot of them go right alongside the river, but unlike in Sevilla they're not raised up next to the road so … Continue reading Roller skating in Salamanca

Roller skating in Sevilla

15 June 2018Leave a comment

There were plenty of opportunities to go roller skating in Sevilla, especially along the river. A lovely smooth cycle path runs near it (but beware fallen leaves / occasional cracks in the path!), and from my apartment I could skate to several nice spots by the river to settle for an afternoon of reading or … Continue reading Roller skating in Sevilla

Week 1: Málaga & Granada

8 May 2018Leave a comment

Week 1 of many! After a mad last few days of packing and socialising and goodbyes, I finally hopped on a plane on Monday 23rd April. First stop: Málaga, purely because it's a cheap destination to fly to in southern Spain. Málaga To be honest I didn't have high expectations - the name summoned visions … Continue reading Week 1: Málaga & Granada

Off the beaten track in Tenerife (+ Carnaval!)

30 December 2017Leave a comment

For the start of 2017, I wanted to visit somewhere warm and not too expensive. There are limited sunny destinations in February when you don't want to fly long-haul from the UK. The Canary Islands off the coast of north-west Africa are popular for just that reason, and after some research I discovered that Tenerife's … Continue reading Off the beaten track in Tenerife (+ Carnaval!)

Roman Aqueduct at Pont du Gard

5 September 2017Leave a comment

Usually when we think of Roman ruins, we think of sites that have been… well, ruined. Most retain only a fraction of their original glory and have been compromised over time by war, looting of materials and mother nature. This context makes a visit to the Pont du Gard, just 30 minutes drive from Avignon, … Continue reading Roman Aqueduct at Pont du Gard

22 July 201715 Comments

I visited Chedworth Roman Villa last summer for an event that brought Romans forward 2000 years to the present day - 'The Romans are Coming!', run by the Roman Military Research Society. Roman re-enactors, tents of activities and displays of Roman battle tactics were all present in the remains of a once-luxurious farmstead nestled in … Continue reading Roman ruins in the Cotswolds at Chedworth Roman Villa
