wwwbarg — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 11:26:33 +0000

Over the last week or so an advert has appeared on our screens promoting UK holidays. Why would we want all the hassle of going abroad in 2012 when we can stay right here in the UK, the advert suggests? Well…. I know what you're thinking; it’s too easy to come [...]

When the tour operator offered to switch my holiday from Guadalajara to Estartit I took it, I thought it was a sign, mind you the fact they offered to pay for all my meals and give me one hundred pounds compensation might have had something to do with it.

Things didn’t look too good as the [...]

From Madrid To Barcelona

When is Madrid not Madrid? When it’s Barcelona. A stupid and strange question, right? Well let me explain.

After the initial excitement of getting a cheap holiday to Guadalajara in Castilla La Mancha had turned to near hysteria at the airport, I didn’t think anything could dampen my mood. I know what you more seasoned travellers [...]

The travel agents was busy. The old couple had completed booking their holiday and were now selecting new headwear, from the brochure stand, for their wet walk home. I on the other hand had yet to decide where to begin my new life. I knew it had to be somewhere in the EU, [...]

Travelling though Spain was one of the most exciting and memorable things I think I've ever done.

It all started about ten years ago, when I was younger and more foolhardy, I just woke one morning and decide I had to do something more with my life. I could, of course, change jobs but [...]
