Med Trip (Spain, Portugal, France & Italy)

39 days, 4 countries and a vast number of stories later here we go……hope you enjoy the adventure as much as we did! Here are our top five destinations:

1. Monseraz, Portugal


With its white washed walls, rocky hilltop setting, quiet atmosphere and non-existent tourists the town was a joy to explore.

2. Cinque Terre, Italy

The coastline was some of the most spectacular we have ever seen. The five small towns were very appealing and quaint despite the overwhelming number of tourists.

3. Venice, Italy

There is no where in the world like Venice! The city is an absolute joy to explore time and time again!

4. Sintra, Portugal

An abundance of castles, palaces, ruins, gardens and grottos. Sintra was straight out of a fairy tale. Magical!

5. Sevilla, Spain

Bull fights, flamenco, tapas, moorish palaces and Europe’s biggest cathedral. Sevilla was a beautiful city, a great introduction to Spain with plenty to do!
