Finding Surprises in Granada, Spain
Blog: WildJunket - 25 August 2011
I love surprises. Seriously, who doesn’t? This summer I was treated to a beautiful surprise, one that definitely left an imprint in my memories. On the night before our wedding, I was dashing around Granada, doing some last-minute preparations, when a surprise came knocking on our door.

Alhambra in Granada
Blog: Travel Adventures of Newman - 26 June 2011
I wasn't that quite enamored with Granada, despite glowing feedback from other travelers I've met. Perhaps it was because I was coming off an emotional high from Valdelavilla, but more likely the intense heat that made walking around a miserable affair.

A video flashback of Granada and La Alpujarra
Blog: La Tortuga Viajera - 12 January 2011
Remember awhile back when I took the road trip to Granada? You know, the one where the sheep hated me and I discovered that my dreams of becoming a shepherd would never be realized? Yeah, that trip. Since it was such a memorable experience (and fortunately, not just because of the little lambies), I’ve put [...]

How Granada dashed my dreams of being a shepherd
Blog: La Tortuga Viajera - 2 December 2010
After my shepherd-for-a-day experience last Spring, I suppose I thought I’d somehow acquired a magic sheep touch – that I was an urban sheep whisperer of sorts. So, when we came across a massive herd of the critters crossing the road in the mountains of Granada last week, I enthusiastically leapt from the car, eager [...]

A vegetarian’s survival guide to Spanish cuisine
Blog: La Tortuga Viajera - 22 November 2010
You’ve gotten the memo by now – Spain has lots of delicious food, but a healthy chunk of it involves meat. This wouldn’t be such a big deal except that you’re a vegetarian, which kind of makes the idea of really enjoying the country, much less not starving to death, kind of seem impossible. Lovely. [...]

Hotels in Granada – Hostels in Granada – Flights to Granada Midway into our drive through the Alpujarras, we stopped at Bodega Barranco Oscuro, a small family-run winery near Cádiar.

To tour, and seeing the other side of things
Blog: No Beaten Path - 28 February 2010
We are not really organised tour people. I have only ever taken three organised tours in my life: As a Uni student, I once went on a coach tour to the Big Pineapple (yes, you read that correctly) and the Buderim Ginger factory with my grandfather. Totally not my thing, but at least a coach [...]
