This week’s Monday Memory is from UnTourist Laura Morris. We did a two-week UnTour in Andalusia in May 2013 with two friends. It was wonderful. We stayed with Maria in a marvelous 4-bedroom house in the middle of an olive grove outside Fuente Tojar. The one mistake we made was thinking we would be able…
1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. We experienced a Spain Sampler: we spent one week in Barcelona and one week in Andalusia, outside the tiny town of Carcabuey. 2. Why did you choose to go there? Although we had taken four previous UnTours, we had never taken a Sampler trip….
Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour and why you chose that particular destination? We enjoyed two UnTours in Spain in 2008. First, we spent two weeks in Fuente Tojar (near Priego de Cordoba), enjoying auto trips to Granada, Cordoba, Sevilla. Then to Malaga, where we turned in the car, and flew…
Ray leaving old Chapel with 15th century fresco on Wanda’s farm in Umbria. (inset is their photo of the fresco inside) 1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. It was a dream vacation: 8 days on the Variety Voyager, the sleek 73-passenger yacht that put us ashore at the fabled ports…
Vickie Kelber, our UnTourist of the week has to be, pound for pound, one of the top contenders for the best photographer/writer we have among our many, many talented UnTourists. She does both of them fabulously. We’re all the more lucky, then, that she takes lots of pictures and usually writes a blog that she…
This week’s UnTourist of the Week, Doris Matick because of her lovely photos of Spain that you see in the slideshow below. But when we asked her for her UnTour impressions, she went all over the map. Which is not to say, she doesn’t love Spain. Check out her wonderful blog post on UnTours Cafe,…
I am surprisingly obsessed with Antoni Gaudi and his wonderful fanciful buildings, for someone who isn’t a big architecture buff and who’s never actually seen a Gaudi building. My Gaudi obsession is quite recent so, when Gordon and Joann Pitz’s (our UnTourists of the Week last week) wonderful travel logs pointed out that he had…
Photo by Jaume Meneses Just to make sure we’re starting off on the right foot here, no, I’m not talking about that old high school party game, 7 Minutes in Heaven. However, the seven minutes I am referring to do have a bit of rarefied air about them. If you’re in Barcelona and are looking…
We don’t have a picture of our UnTourists of the Week this week, but we do have a shot of their favorite memory, the ‘dancing waters’ at the National Art Museum in Barcelona. Jackie travelled with her sister Lillys on our Spanish UnTours, Barcelona and Andalusia, and recently, when they were together on a family…
Although UnTours are about so much more than the great apartments you stay in, we want to give you an idea of the types of apartments we have to help you make more informed decisions when choosing your UnTour. So, each week, we’ll be featuring a property for you. Enjoy! Photo by Luis Eduardo P…
