This time around our guest post is from Will Peach of Gap Daemon and My Spanish Adventure. He’s been kicking around Spain for a few months now and wrote this fantastic guide on the Andalusian city of Seville for us – JM Having moved out to Extremadura, Spain, in September of last year I kept [...]

I put the phone announced as the iPhone killer through it’s paces for keeping you organised on your travels.

Baalbeck is Lebanon’s shining glory of Roman heritage and home to the best kept temples this side of the Colosseum. On our recent trip to Beirut with bmi, we got the opportunity to drive 1.5 hours out of the city to survey this super impressive site.

The richly historic city’s near identity crisis as a Catalan stronghold in France means it has the character, food and culture to make it a serious contender for a 48-hour get away, helped further by its easy accessibility from the UK and its welcoming warm Mediterranean climate.

Back in August this year I had the pleasure of visting the Skåne region of Sweden with the fine folks from Visit Sweden and fourbgb. In 48 hours in Skåne, I covered the big ticket sights of Malmö and Helsingborg, but there’s more about this this harbour-side, former industrial city that provides a special spin on the [...]
