As the world's most popular long-distance walking route, the Camino is legendary in the hiking community. It was absolutely a bucket-list item for me to take in the Spanish culture, immerse myself in the spiritual tradition, and enjoy tramping through the beautiful vistas of the Camino de Santiago.

Summer trip to Spain with our 4 teenagers

After spending a few weeks in Spain, I was ready for the beach. Malaga was a short drive from Sevilla and appealed to my desire for sun, sand and of course more tapas.

I had been traveling solo in Spain for a month and my girlfriend was coming to visit. Barcelona sounded like the ideal destination to go with a significant other. It had beautiful art, rich food, an exciting night life, and the beach. There are enough pop songs about it that I had to visit it myself.

We travelled to Seville on our way to Morocco from Northern Spain

Ever since studying Spanish in high school, Spain has been on my list. Madrid seemed like the logical place to start. I knew little about it before arriving other than pork was a big deal and their soccer team Real Madrid was one of the best in the world.

I am studying abroad for the semester in San Sebastián, Spain! There is a group of Santa Clara kids that came with me and we decided we needed a weekend getaway with some sun after a rainy week in San Seb.

I chose a weekend getaway in these three locations because Portugal is in close proximity to Spain, and my best friend and I wanted to do a little trip together. We chose to see Lisbon as it is a city destination where we know a few other students studying abroad, and I recommended Sintra as I went there a few years back and absolutely adored it. Nazaré is a bucket list place that I've always wanted to visit to see the world-famous surfing waves and picturesque cliffs. Portugal isn't too big so we could hop around from place to place.

I travelled with some friends that i was studying abroad with for a trip to Morocco! We went on an organized trip, as at the time, that was a safer option and fairly cheap to do from Spain!

After living in a city abroad, I felt like I needed a dose of mountain. My friend from my summer job in Colorado was visiting me in Spain and going to Italy after, so we decided to hop over to France in between to do what we love to do best together-- hiking.

As a history nerd, and a former student of Latin at my Catholic middle school, I had long dreamed of seeing ancient Roman ruins and the cobblestone streets of "the eternal city". So, when I was leaving Spain to go to Egypt and points east, there was no way I could fly over Italy without taking at least a few days to see the major sites in Rome.

When I was studying abroad in San Sebastian, a friend and I took a long weekend trip to Barcelona.
