Berlin and Barcelona – The battle of the great B’s
Both Berlin and Barcelona are often said to share a similar cosmopolitan, quirky and edgy city vibe. If you’re stuck in a rut and can’t choose between the two, I’ve put together a handy list of unique selling points for each city.

National Geographic Destinations, We’ve captured them too!
We thought it would be fun for this Photo Story Friday to compare some of our photo’s to those of National Geographic. We tried to choose photo’s that were places we had been before and had a similar subject matter. In doing this it was a great learning experience.
Camping Tips for Spain and France
Camping through France or Spain is quite different from camping in Canada. Here’s list of what items to bring to camp comfortably through France and Spain.
Cuenca and The Casas Colgadas
When we heard about the hanging buildings in Cuenca we were intrigued to go and check out this world heritage site for ourselves. The Casas Colgadas are a couple of precarious houses built on the side of a high ridge hanging over a deep gorge. We were envisioning a breathtaking site. When we got to Cuenca we were definitely surprised. Not because of the breathtaking site, but because of just how unimpressive these Casas Colgadas were.
Toledo, Beautiful Spanish History Awaits
If there is one city that you should visit in Spain it should be Toledo. I know, I know, there are many beautiful cities in Spain and we are not experts on the country, but our tip of the day is to go to Toledo. We have been to many cities throughout the world and none have had quite the historical beauty as Toledo. Around every corner a photograph is waiting to be taken. Set in the post card perfect land of Castillo La Mancha, Toledo is a small city located just south of Madrid.
Dave and Deb’s Misadventures in Europe – Driving with no Direction
Give us a car and we run wild. We are not sure if it was a good idea to rent a car for our travel around Europe or if we would have been better off taking trains. We have never planned so much for a trip as we had for this travel through France, but as soon as we got behind the wheel of our car, the itinerary went out the window. It all started with the bad weather in France. But then the rain came.
Costa Blanca, Spain’s Sunny South
Where is Europe’s sunshine playground? That would be the south of Spain of course. We had to make our way to Costa Blanca from Barcelona to see what all the fuss was about. It did not disappoint. Costa Blanca is a beautiful if not a little over developed piece of coastline on the Mediterranean Sea.
Dave and Deb StumbleUpon Barcelona, Spain
We are still traveling in Europe with our StumbleUpon T-shirts and this time we are seeing the sites in Barcelona. A very photo friendly city. It has been fun putting ourselves into our photos and sharing them with the Stumbleupon community. From the street performers on the lively street La Rambla to the top of Barri Gothic Cathedral; At Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia to the Columbus monument at the Waterfront, we stumbled our way all over the beautiful and vibrant city of Barcelona.
The Works of Gaudi in Barcelona
A person cannot visit Barcelona without checking out some of its most interesting architecture designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. The most famous site in all of Barcelona is La Sagrada Familia, so that is where we started. This is an interesting mammoth church that began its construction in 1882. What is so interesting about it? Well, it has yet to be finished.
Ola Spain, We have Arrived at Barcelona
France is a wonderful country. However, this is our third visit to France and the weather has been quite dreary, raining and cold.With Spain Being so close and with sunshine calling us, we decided to make a run for the border.First stop, Barcelona.
