Let’s be honest, Europe is awash with thousands of pretty little villages to explore, but there are always those select few that really stand out. One of the things I love most about Europe is how diverse our continent is. After all, no two countries are the same and you’re really spoilt for choice when […]

Portugal easily brags about having some of the best weather in Europe so understandably it’s a popular destination for some of the more ‘weather-challenged parts of Europe’ (I’m looking at you the UK and Ireland) to visit.

Then the planning starts and you realize there are dozens of islands with no obvious way to compare them. Capri? Sicily? That volcanic one with the famous eruptions? The Sardinia place with […]

Most people planning a trip to Brittany make the same mistake: they put Mont Saint-Michel on their itinerary. That abbey is in Normandy.
