A must-see UNESCO Heritage Site in Seville, Spain A must-see UNESCO Heritage Site in Seville, Spain — Real Alcázar, the Moorish palace and fortress originally built in the 11th century to protect the city. The expansive gardens of the Alcázar feature ponds, towering palms, orange and other fruit trees, and exotic flora. There’s a nice cafe with outdoor seating in the gardens for relaxing and soaking up the ambiance. Read more on the blog about our highlights of Seville.

Care for a stroll through the old town district of Care for a stroll through the old town district of Seville, Spain? We did a lot of walking around this city during our three day visit. Just wondering … do you notice anything a little unusual in the photo? Hint: it has something to do with attire. I didn’t notice when I took the pic, just now as I was posting. #seville #sevillespain #sevilla #sevillagram #andalucia #spain #españa #travelblogger #traveleurope #europe #europeantravel
Sometimes my travel dreams take me back to special Sometimes my travel dreams take me back to special moments in beautiful places like this one from six years ago today. Instead of going out to dinner, we decided to spend a quiet evening enjoying @estevillas Casa del Lago, a lovely cottage right on the shore of Lake Maggiore, Italy. Sounds of thunder added a dramatic effect to this beautiful location that would be our home for the next few days. I knew it would be hard to leave. #beautifuldestinations #travelblogger #lagomaggiore #lakemaggiore #italy #lombardia #holidayvilla #italianvacation #discoveritaly #loveitaly❤️ #europeandestinations #traveldreaming
