Where we keep going back
Destinations
Not a list of everywhere we can book — that is everywhere. These are the 10 places we have walked, eaten in and got wrong at least once, which is the only reason the advice on them is worth anything. 6 have guides behind them today; the rest are being written.
Spain
- Spain Barcelona Best on foot and out of season. We will talk you out of August.
- Spain Madrid The one Spanish city that rewards a long, slow stay over a weekend.
- Spain Guide in progress Granada The Alhambra sells out months ahead. Everything here depends on that booking.
- Spain Málaga An underrated base for the whole Costa del Sol, and a real airport.
- Spain Guide in progress Valencia Barcelona’s food and half the crowds — worth the detour most itineraries skip.
United Kingdom
Northern Europe
Asia Pacific
Somewhere not on this list?
We book everywhere. This page is only the places we can argue about from memory — which is a different and much shorter list. Tell us where you are going and we will say honestly how well we know it.
