hosted by Señorio de Nevada; opinions are my own It had been close to a year since my last writing gig for a hotel. If you’ve been following along since my hotel writing days, that used to be my main focus when it came to family travel. However, since our move to Madrid, Spain and […]

We took our first trip by high-speed train in Spain to travel 2.5 hours from Madrid to Barcelona. By car, this would have took us about 6.5 hours. Choosing to take the high-speed train has opened our eyes to efficient ways to travel around Spain as we live out our goal of visiting all of […]

Wow! It is so hard to believe that one year has come and gone. Often times, our family thinks back to those first days after we just moved to Madrid. Some of the questions running in our heads were, What will we do for work now that Logan quit his IT Executive job in the […]

#hosted by Devour; opinions are my own Even though we live in Madrid and have for almost one year, one of the best ways to experience Madrid, Spain is through a food tour. Whether it’s together as a family or a date night, Devour has great food and walking tours that provide a great way […]

Our stay was discounted by Club Cala Azul; all opinions are my own. Our family was excited to spend one of the last weekends of summer on the island of Ibiza. We really enjoyed our month in Tenerife and visits to Mallorca and Menorca, so Ibiza seemed like a logical next choice. Although we enjoyed […]

Besides small towns giving the most authentic feels of Spain, this family loves the beaches of Spain most! We started our journey living for one month in Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands of Spain and it spoiled us for all of the beaches we’d experience while living here. While everyone has a different opinion […]

It’s time to renew our family’s visas, so we made a summer weekend out of it in Jávea, Spain. We had already visited this area once before when we went to Dénia near Valencia, but we were excited to experience a new beach town in Spain. Because the lawyer that we used for our visas […]

To be fully transparent, our family is a bit more cook-at-home type people vs. eating out so this list is short. But I wanted to put together a short list of food places in Madrid that you cannot miss if you’re visiting Madrid. At the bottom of this article, I have included a list of […]

Our now 12-year old and 10-year old boys help me discover the best things to do with kids in Madrid, Spain, so I wanted to share this list with you, too! Please note that one of the best ways to experience the wonderful city of Madrid is to visit its local small towns, or pueblos, […]

While our American family loves living in Madrid, sometimes a day spent in a local small town is just what this family needs. Some of the best ways to experience an authentic day visiting Spain is to spend time amongst the local Spanish small towns or pueblos. Many of these are also developed cities that […]

Hosted by Oasis Blanc; opinions are my own Our family was so excited to kick off the summer in Menorca, Spain, a Balearic Island next to Mallorca which we had visited in the past. We had our hearts set on visiting Menorca since seeing pictures of it and let me tell you: it did not […]

It has been wildly busy for us this past month as we celebrated living in Spain for eight months this May. We have embraced the slower-pace life living in Spain and so the last few weeks have reminded us of our U.S. fast pace that we prefer to forget (ha). Between a move to a […]
