Guide to Vegan Granada

Granada is the town with the most vegan restaurants in Andalusia. When we visited in October 2022 there were 7 all-vegan restaurants listed on Happy Cow Granada, which is still far from the countless options in Madrid or Barcelona but it’s definitely a good start. Granada having the most vegan restaurants was actually the reason why we chose to spend a week there. And during this week I fell in love with the city, it has so much to offer. Read my 10 reasons why Granada is worth visiting here. In this week we also tried a lot of those restaurants.

Is Andorra Worth Visiting?

Doesn’t Andorra just sound magical? Maybe it’s just because it sounds so similar to Pandora. Either way, when I was in Barcelona and realised how kinda close Andorra is, I decided to go there on a day trip. In this article, I’m gonna try to answer the question: Is Andorra worth visiting?

I quite enjoy going to tiny countries, it’s just fascinating how small a country can be. So far, I’ve been to Liechtenstein and the Vatican. And now I can add Andorra to my “Tiny Country” list.

Andorra is the sixth smallest country in Europe, and its main income is winter tourism.

Dali Inspired Day Trip From Barcelona To Cadaqués

Cadaqués is a super picturesque small town in the Costa Brava region north of Barcelona. If you’re doing a day trip there from Barcelona to Cadaqués you can also visit some truly unique places nearby. I did a bit of a Salvador Dali-inspired day trip. Dali was a very eccentric, Spanish, surrealist artist, who lived in the 20th century in the area of Cadaqués. You probably know his most famous work “The Persistence of Memory” (the melting clocks painting).
