2025 travel plans

[VPS]

Yes - weirdly we only discovered Portugal for the first time this year (but did not get to Porto). Loved Sintra and Lisbon -food,people,art and Moorish history.

Booked another trip when we got back staying coastal (Estoril) and then focussing on Porto 4days. Need another day in Lisbon at my world’s best ceramics store!

We have done northern Spain. I am not a Barcelona lover. So plan a fortnight in the south. Planning two nights in Alhambra so can do at an unhurried pace and with private guide at ‘quieter’ times. We plan Cordoba - will report back.

I agree with you about Barcelona. I'd go back to Madrid but I'm thinking about staying in the hotel at the Alhambra for two nights just so I can take it in when others have gone. Michael Portillo's Andalucia on SBS has a few hints

Thanks @VPS will do re:the Portillo doco.
I am staying at the Alhambra Hotel 2 nights

2 nights is easily more than enough there.

Where will you be for your 40th @chitown_boy ?

Bit of a misnomer actually - couldn’t get time off work on my actual birthday so the trip is actually in the weeks leading up to it. A sort of last hurrah to my 30’s
