French Escapade in Spain…

March 18, 2018 by Rosemary

Jackie and Valerie love France, and might have started as French Escapade, but their trips now cover so much more. Some of them are women only, some are for artists (or budding artists), some focus on cooking.  I loved their latest newsletter which focused on Spain, so thought I would share some of it... Why do we love our Enchanting Spain? Spain is as diverse as most countries. Even if stereotypes want Spain to be a sunny country all year … [Read more...]

To be a Pilgrim… Walk the Camino

August 8, 2017 by Rosemary

Camino de Santiago is the name of any of the pilgrimage routes, known as pilgrim ways, to the shrine of the apostle St. James the Great in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain.  Pilgrims (peregrino) have walked these ways for over 1,000 years, following the simple scallop shell signs, and often with a Pilgrim's staff. The pathways are very popular with modern walkers - Martin Sheen starred in The Way, a movie … [Read more...]

Women of the American Resistance

June 6, 2017 by Rosemary

Love this article by travel writer Karen McCann: I’m going to spend the summer talking with the women who are driving the American Resistance: Leaders, behind-the-scene workers, lifelong political activists, first-time protesters, Pussyhat knitters, people with disabilities doing online activism, neighbors, friends, and women who are finding creative ways to mount effective protest in some of the most remote corners of the planet.

Lisbon as a Solo Woman

December 9, 2016 by Rosemary

When deciding to travel the world, you’ll find most travelling guides to be family or couple oriented. Unfortunately, this leaves a single traveller at a disadvantage. In order to rectify this recurrent mistake, here is a short and simple overview of a place you should visit as a solo female traveller. Lisbon, the largest and one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal, is one of the best places to visit on your own. Here are a few reasons … [Read more...]

Snow Shoeing in southern Spain

June 28, 2016 by Rosemary

Sietske Meerloo of VakanShe writes: When you think of Andalusia, you may think Flamenco, tapas, Seville or Granada but I doubt fun in the snow comes to mind. But did you know that the South of Spain has much more to offer than beaches, sun, sand and sea? The Sierra Nevada mountains in Spain are in my backyard and they are not only a wonderful place for all-year walking and hiking, trekking and wild camping but in winter the mountain range … [Read more...]

April 29, 2016 by Rosemary

I love it's history and stories, to know the old and new places for a drink, that tiny shop, etc. So, even my Barcelona friends always ask me where to go. Last year Rainbow Barcelona Tours … [Read more...]

The Allure of Barcelona

April 11, 2016 by Rosemary

La Rambler

I was in Beziers in the South of France, and on the map Barcelona was just centimetres away, I just had to go.  A quick look and I discover a train journey along the coast will get me there -  Barcelona here I come! Barcelona has an allure, like many of the great cities of the Europe.  For a New Zealander like me, it feels so old - it's story going back hundreds of years. Barcelona was founded as a Roman City in the Middle Ages, and these days … [Read more...]
