Haec omnia tibi dabo si cadens adoraveris me. Latin scholars know that the words “tibi dabo” mean “I’ll give you,” and that the sentence means “All of this I will give to you if you fall down and worship me.” Biblical historians tells us that Satan stood on top of a mountain and said these [...]

For festivals, look no further than the country of Spain for an exciting reason to celebrate. With as many as 50 festivals to celebrate thoughout the year, a person could literally take in a festival somewhere in Spain just about any week of the year.

When I think of Barcelona, Spain, the thought of Antoni Gaudi, the Catalonian architect born in 1852, always comes to mind. After all, the city is covered in the man’s work. In fact, Gaudi’s work over the years has irrevocably influenced the face of Barcelona architecture like none other before or after. Influenced primarily by nature, [...]

But in one of the villages, Great Missenden, there is an altogether more quirky attraction: The Roald Dahl Museum. The museum was [...]

According to the old saying, ‘the rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain’. Well, that’s a myth; in fact, the rain in Spain falls mainly in Cantabria. I will admit that doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, but it does mean that you might very well encounter some wet weather in the [...]

Like countless visitors to southern Spain before me, I stood next to the Alhambra, spread out on the plateau rising above the modern city of Granada, listening for whispers from the ghosts of centuries past. Looking out over the rooftops of the town, I could see the Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance, still snowcapped [...]

Traveling to another country is a chance to try a different cuisine. Sure, Starbucks, McDonald’s and KFC are almost everywhere around the globe, but where’s the fun in scarfing down a Big Mac in Turku when you can snack on a freshly baked karjalanpiirakka?
