Unless - and this is possible - it’s the greatest spelling of Mallorca ever 😁 Mojacar, or as my mrs still calls it, Mockerjar. Now that's a spelling.

Drive to Ronda. (Either wild swimming or via Ferrata). Day 4 drive to Seville. Segway tour. Drive to Castellar de la Frontera. Overnight in a castle. Day 5 drive down to Gibraltar (been advised to park and walk across border). Hike to the top of the rock. See the monkeys. Drive back to Malaga airport. Any recommendations for eating in any of the above places or en-route. Love a bit of the local cuisine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave it some consideration as an alternative to Seville (I’ve visited twice before), but stuck with the original itinerary now. Does look ace. I can see me returning! Feel like I know everything there is to know about the region already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Was in Negril for a couple of weeks in January and delivered a couple of old Wanderers shirts (courtesy of Norpig) to an online buddy who is now strutting them around Spanish Town. First time in Jamaica and absolutely loved it so we're going back for three weeks in November. Campervan to Portugal in May and have been roped into an "Arctic cruise" for a mates 60th birthday do in August. Never been on a cruise and don't particularly like the idea of being locked up in a tin of beans but have to show willing - she's a top mate.

It's amazing - it's a Catholic church inside a Moorish mosque built on a Visigoth church in a Roman temple. Well worth getting a knowledgeable guide.

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted March 5, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted March 5, 2023 We went to Belamondinio in January last year and the wife broke her arm. We tried again in October and I went lame with sciatica so she's decided we won't bother this year. I'm looking at October again. She'll be reet.

Siena La Spezia Florence Florence is amazing, but as touristy as it gets. certainly worth one night and a visit to the Uffizi, don’t miss that. Siena is a bit more laid back and worth the time. Lucca should be on any itinerary. Best town in Italy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth doing 2 nights in Siena, or is 3 too much? Lucca is a centuries old walled city about 15 miles north of Pisa. Tiny streets, hundreds of trattorias, loads of picturesque squares full of random string quartets. Free Pucinni operettas most nights at one of the churches (they do an hour which is plenty). you can usually get bikes from your hotel and it’s easy to cycle round the whole town in about an hour, longer if you stop for a beer and some ace food on the way. it’s basically Venice without the canals, and easier to get around. been 3 times, will be back. https://www.lucca.info Edited March 6, 2023 by Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
