Hi, I’m on a layover in Barcelona—what’s the best way to get to Barcelona’s football stadium? Thanks

Hi there! We’re heading to Andalusia for a week in early April. We’ll spend 3 days in Seville and 1 day in Córdoba. After that, we’d like to rent a car for the remaining 3 days to explore the Costa de la Luz.

We’d love to do some great hikes along the beaches between Tarifa and Cadiz and visit Cadiz itself. Is 3 full days enough to do this? Is it better to stay in Cadiz and explore the area from there, or should we move around to different villages? Do you have any hiking suggestions? We’ve spotted some hikes in Barbate, Trafalgar Beach, and Bolonia.

Thanks for your tips and hiking ideas! :-)

Hello everyone,

So, summer 2025 is when I turn 40, and to mark the occasion, I had the idea of doing a road trip through Northern Spain. Since I’ll be traveling with my two kids (9 and 6½ years old), I’m tied to school holidays, but I’m hoping the northern regions of Spain are a little less crowded than the Costa Brava.

We’d leave from Lyon to reach the Atlantic coast, head down to the Basque Country, cross the Spanish border, and then visit: Cantabria - Asturias - Galicia. It’s not exactly around the corner—I’ve seen that it’s about 1,500 km (one way) from Lyon to Galicia. But for this adventure, I’ve got 3 to 3½ weeks. The twist would be doing it in an electric car, stopping for 2-3 days here and there before moving on (alternating between wild camping and hotels). Why electric? Because it’s my company car, and my employer covers the charging and toll costs. Over 3 weeks of vacation, that adds up to big savings.

Question: Do you think this plan is doable? Aside from the charging stops, does the route seem too ambitious for 3 weeks with two kids? And in July/August, are these regions not too packed?

Thanks for your feedback and experiences!

Hi there, I’d like to make the crossing between Barcelona and Civitavecchia with Grimaldi. I’d love to hear about your experiences. I’m also considering GNV for Genoa.

Looking forward to reading your replies. Sandy

Beyond the traditional tourist circuits, Spain reveals its true essence through its lesser-known regions and preserved traditions. For a unique and authentic experience, we invite you to explore the hidden facets of this fascinating country. You can check out FairMoove’s offers, an eco-responsible and authentic travel agency.

The Hidden Gems of Rural Andalusia

Far from the well-trodden paths of Seville and Granada, the white villages of Andalusia transport you to a timeless Spain. In Ronda, perched on its vertiginous cliffs, the cobbled streets tell centuries of history. In the intimacy of Mijas, artisans keep age-old traditions alive in their workshops, open to curious visitors.

Master potters introduce you to their ancestral craft, sharing techniques passed down through generations. In family-run taverns, tapas are enjoyed to the rhythm of conversations with locals, revealing jealously guarded recipes. Come evening, local flamenco schools open their doors, letting you discover the deep soul of Andalusia through its traditional dances. A Sensory Journey: The Wine Route



The wine regions of Rioja and Ribera del Duero invite you to a truly "non-touristy" authentic experience. In these family-run estates, often centuries old, winemakers share their passion with characteristic generosity. Tours of historic cellars reveal the secrets of traditional winemaking, while guided tastings awaken your senses to the subtleties of local grape varieties.

During harvest season, you can join in the grape picking alongside local families, continuing age-old traditions. Meals shared in the vineyards become moments of conviviality where the wine tells the story of the terroir. Some estates even offer blending workshops where you create your own cuvée under the expert guidance of enologists. From Lively Markets to Traditional Farms: Authentic Gastronomy

In Catalonia, local markets are true theaters of daily life. Beyond Barcelona’s La Boqueria, the markets in Catalan villages offer a more intimate experience. Producers share the stories behind their products—organic vegetables, artisanal cheeses, and traditional cured meats.

In the Balearic Islands, *fincas* turned into agritourism spots keep centuries-old agricultural traditions alive. In Mallorca, join the olive harvest and oil production using ancestral methods. In Menorca, cheesemakers introduce you to the crafting of the famous Mahón-Menorca PDO cheese, a skill passed down through generations.

The Vibrant Soul of Spain’s Autonomous Regions

Each of Spain’s autonomous regions proudly cultivates its unique identity. In Galicia, Celtic traditions blend harmoniously with age-old pilgrimages. Traditional fishing ports welcome you to discover the secrets of sustainable fishing, while local festivities celebrate ancestral legends.

The Basque Country surprises with its ancient language and world-renowned gastronomy. In *txokos*—traditional gastronomic societies—you’ll explore Basque cuisine alongside locals. Local festivals, like Valencia’s Fallas or Seville’s Feria de Abril, immerse you in the excitement of Spanish popular traditions. Community-Based Tourism: A Rewarding Human Experience

Extremadura, a pioneer in community-based tourism, offers homestays that redefine travel. These initiatives not only support the local economy directly but also create authentic connections with communities. You’ll take part in seasonal agricultural work, learn traditional farming and livestock techniques, and share daily life with the families hosting you.

Community-based tourism projects also extend to preserving cultural heritage. Join efforts to restore historic monuments, rehabilitate traditional hiking trails, or pass on endangered artisanal skills.



Responsible Travel to Preserve Authenticity

This immersive approach to travel in Spain helps preserve local traditions and promote sustainable development in communities. By choosing these authentic experiences, you actively contribute to keeping Spain’s cultural heritage alive while enjoying unique moments far from mass tourism. The income generated directly supports local preservation initiatives and the passing down of traditional knowledge. Positive Impact on Local Communities

Authentic tourism allows communities to keep their traditions alive while adapting to modern challenges. Younger generations find new opportunities to carry on ancestral skills, while visitors leave enriched by unforgettable experiences and encounters.

Spain’s regions invite you to discover their differences and similarities, creating a fascinating cultural mosaic where every stone tells a unique story. Each trip becomes an opportunity to learn, share, and support local initiatives that keep authentic Spain alive while preserving its heritage for future generations.

Hi everyone, has anyone had a stopover in VALENCIA and IBIZA during a cruise??? Could you give me some tips on how to do the excursions on our own? Thanks!

Hi, I’m Jérémy, 28 years old. Originally from Brittany, I’ve always loved traveling, especially to natural spots—whether by the sea or in the mountains.

I’m a huge sports fan, particularly outdoor sports (surfing, snowboarding, hiking, climbing, etc.) :D

Not long ago, I bought a nice converted van, and I’ve just left home for a very long road trip across Europe.

Right now, I’m heading down the west coast of France. Then, around February 6-7, I’ll turn toward the Northern Alps before heading back down to the Southern Alps. After that, my plan is to head toward the Pyrenees, then loop around Spain and Portugal (to catch some great waves) before passing back through France and continuing into Northern Italy and the Balkans. Basically, the idea is to cover all of Southern Europe if possible.

I’ve traveled solo and with friends before, and I’ve realized I prefer traveling with people. Just sharing experiences together feels amazing :)

If you’d like to join me—whether for a few days or several weeks/months—I’d be happy to host you (after getting to know each other first, of course)! That said, I can only travel with one person or, at most, two at a time since my van has three front seats (though if we’re three, one person would need to sleep in a tent next to the van since there are only two spots inside).

If you’re traveling in a van too, I’m also open to us traveling together with our two vans—it’d let us be a bigger group.

Feel free to message me on Instagram @jeremy.tex

Have a great day!

Jérémy

Hi, I’ll be going on a cruise with Costa Toscana soon. During the stopover in Barcelona, is it possible to walk to La Rambla from where the ship docks, or is it better to take a bus or taxi? Also, any ideas for the Ibiza stopover? Thanks, Diane

Hi there, I’m planning a trip to the White Villages and noticed that many are in the Province of Cádiz—like Setenil de las Bodegas, Olvera, Ubrique, Grazalema, Zahara de la Sierra, Medina-Sidonia, and Vejer de la Frontera. Are all of these worth visiting, or are there others you’d recommend? I’ve already been to Arcos de la Frontera and Ronda in the area and wouldn’t mind returning, of course. I’m also considering the Caminito del Rey, so maybe a few interesting villages in the province of Málaga too. Do you think an itinerary starting from Málaga (arriving at the airport) with 2 or 3 stops (like Ronda, Arcos, and a third in one of these villages) would work? Thanks for your tips!

Hi, We’re planning to start the Camino del Cid from Vivar del Cid (Burgos) to Atienza in April. How can we get back and pick up our car, which we left in Burgos? I haven’t found any info on this. Thanks for your tips!

Hi there! I’d love to travel around Europe and I’ve been thinking about Spain—like Tenerife or other spots—or Albania to explore a bit of Europe. I’m a little nervous about going alone since it’ll be my first time traveling, but I’m friendly, a bit funny (or so I’ve been told), and really motivated. If any of you have specific destinations in mind and are looking for someone to join you anytime between May and August, let me know so we can chat! Looking forward to it! 🙂😇

Hi, we’re heading to Barcelona soon, and the Airbnb host is asking us to fill out a PDF form with our names, ID card details, address, and even our signatures. According to him, it’s one of the new rules for rentals in Barcelona. I’m really worried our personal info might end up who-knows-where? Has anyone else been in the same situation? Thanks. Have a great day.

Hi there! We’d love to spend a few weeks in the sun this winter, but not too far away—southern Spain or Portugal sound perfect! Any regions or spots you’d recommend for an active retired couple who also love golfing? Best regards,

Hi fellow travelers,

I’d love to take a sunny walk in the Canary Islands from January 12th to 26th. Explore on foot, away from mass tourism—El Hierro, for example. Traveling on a small budget but big on pleasure! Looking to plan this together with someone around my age (mid-60s), easygoing, and down-to-earth. Anyone interested? Zoé

Hi there,

I’m looking for route ideas for a 5-day bike trip in the Spanish Basque Country, max 40 km per day and 500 m of elevation gain max per day, preferably on greenways or small roads for August 2025.

I’d also love to hear your thoughts on the weather: does it rain a lot at that time of year?

We cycled along the Finistère coast last summer but managed to dodge the rain 😄.

Thanks in advance for your tips!

Does anyone know an easy place to park in Granada and Córdoba? Thanks

Hi there,

I’m leaving from Tours (Indre-et-Loire 37) on 12/22 for Seville in Andalusia, with a stop in Valladolid to arrive in Seville on 12/23.

I’ve planned some trips to Huelva, Cadiz, Malaga, and maybe Faro in Portugal, as well as Seville—visited it last February but I can show it to a travel companion this time.

I’ll be heading back from Seville on 01/02/25 with a stop in San Sebastian to get back to Tours on 01/03.

I’ve already booked an Airbnb near the Cathedral (a cute little apartment with 2 bedrooms).

Looking forward to sharing this trip!

Hi everyone, I’m really torn. I’m planning a trip for my girlfriend and I can’t decide between these three European cities: Athens, Lisbon, and Valencia. I’m eagerly waiting for your replies—help me out!!😅😅

😛 Hey everyone, I’m offering a stay in Conil de la Frontera for 1 or 2 nice, easygoing, and responsible people. The apartment has a view of the beach and sea from the couch and dining area, plus a small terrace and balcony. There are 2 bedrooms with single beds, and you can use the kitchen for breakfast... I’m asking for 30 €/night/person. It’s at 24 Calle Cádiz. I don’t have photos of the apartment, but you can check out Conil de la Frontera’s website first. It’s 30 minutes from Cádiz, 1 hour from Seville, and 1 hour from Tarifa... If you’re interested, my number is 06 86 22 42 16 (Richard—you might need to add the Spain country code). Hasta luego!
