After visited Córdoba & Málaga, we finally visiting the last 2 cities, Ronda and Seville in Spain before we left to Portugal.
We stayed at both Ronda and Seville for less than 24 hours, but you know what, I've already quick to fall in love into them when I stepped into the towns.
It's just like the love at first sight. :)
Ronda is a village in the Spanish province of Málaga, where we took about 2 hours plus to drive from Costa del Sol Málaga, while Seville is the capital of southern Spain's Andalusia region, which was about 2 hours drive from Ronda.
I find both of them are one of the most's picturesque cities, with the Ronda's Puente Nuevo that sets on the Andalusian mountain highland and the Plaza de España that holds the most spectacular spaces in Seville.
Both of them make me feels like in a different world.
I really have so much to share about my wonderful times at both cities, and hope you all can stay with me on another long post for today. :)

Hello all! Welcome back to my blog.
Today, I'm going to continue blogging about my trip in Spain.
If you are new here, just stumbled upon my blog, and are interested to read more about my Spain trip, feel free to click on the label "Spain" on the right, then it will bring you to a page that full of my travel posts in Spain.
So today, I'm going to blog about Córdoba & Málaga, where both are the interesting cities with unique cultural heritages and plenty attractions to discover at every corners.
Well, let's first talk about the weather in both cities.
Since these cities are in South Spain, near the Mediterranean Sea, the weather temperature was like 27℃ - 29℃ though it's in the mid of October.
I didn't enjoy the weather so much because it was really warm, so I think if you are planning to visit these cities or I should said Spain, it would be better to plan starting from mid or end of November.
The weather should be more cooling and chilling if you don't like hot weather.
So, cut all the craps and let's get started about my journey now! :)

Finally writing about my trip at La Alhambra in Granada!
Traveling to La Alhambra has been on my bucket list since I watched the K-drama "Memories of the Alhambra".
"Memories of the Alhambra" is a series of mysterious incidents surrounding a new and intricate augmented reality game inspired by the stories of Alhambra Palace.
The drama is starring by Hyun Bin and Park Shin-hye, which is also one of my favourite K-dramas in 2018.
I remember in 2018, I also traveled to Ljubljana, Slovenia after watching the K-drama "Black Knight" starring by Kim Rae-won and Shin Se-kyung.
I wrote about Ljubljana in Slovenia at HERE, do check out the post if you are interested to read it.
Well, I'm so glad that I able to make it to La Alhambra in Granada for the first time in my life in 2019!
That's sooooo exciting!!!

Guys!
Here comes the post about Cuenca and Toledo.
It's true that no trip would be complete without visiting Spain's major cities, like Barcelona and Madrid when you travel to Spain.
I've blogged about Barcelona at HERE, and also Madrid at HERE, do check out the links if you are interested to know the places I've been.
Though the big cities in Spain are fun and exciting, I actually realized there are also many small towns around Spain are way not to miss out.
The little towns deliver plenty of charm and beautiful scenery; quiet alleyways, amazing streets, undiscovered gems that you can't find in the hustle and bustle of larger cities.
Valencia is one of them, HERE's the post I've shared in few days ago.
And for today's post, I wanna share another two significant towns in Spain, Cuenca and Toledo.

Madrid is the capital of Spain.
We spent two nights in Madrid; however since we traveled through a travel agency that have fix itinerary to follow, we only had about 24 hours to walk around the city of Madrid because we had a stop at Cuenca when we drove from Valencia, and also spent a morning hanging out in Toledo.
I will blog about Cuenca and Toledo in my next separate post.
So, the first impression about Madrid was doing well.
I was impressed with the colour, the vibrant, the architectures and buildings that I saw.
But the city was super crowded, lots of people walking, shopping, eating on the street.
And of course, we did a lot of walking in Madrid too; strolling around the city, enjoying the sights and visiting most of the popular attractions in the city.

Hey, I'm back here again to share my travel diary!
Today, I'm going to talk about Valencia, the third largest Spanish city.
Valencia is a charming Spanish city, which divided into the old town and modern complex.
Both old and modern form a fusion that makes the city stand out from the rest of Spain.
I like Valencia upon my first arrival at the city.
The weather was nice, people were friendly, food was delicious, beautiful streets filled with old historic buildings that giving cool vibes.
It took about 4 hours drive from Barcelona to Spain, but totally worth it!
So, here's the places I've visited when I spent a day in Valencia, are you ready to spare some times with me in this beautiful city? :)

Hey guys!
Welcome back!
I hope most of you have already read my Hippo in Spain & Portugal 2019 post, if you haven't, go and read now yeaaaaaa. :)
Like I said early in my previous post, today I'm going to dive deep into the places that I've been to in Spain and Portugal.
I will be separating the posts according to different locations, and will show you the attractions and highlights that must not missed out in both Spain and Portugal!
So, Barcelona is the first destination we visited during our Spain tour.
It was about 7 hours and 30 minutes flight from Dubai to Barcelona, and we landed at Barcelona airport at about 2 in the afternoon.
We didn't get to check in the hotel, but only freshen up a bit at the airport after picked up our luggage.
So, it was really a long and exhausted day on the first day in Barcelona.

Hey guys!
If you follow me on my Instagram, you're probably like: "we get it, Ivy, you went to Spain." :)
Yeap, I took 2 weeks off from my work to travel to Spain and Portugal with my parents and younger sister back in early October this year.
This time, we traveled with the same tour agent we used to travel with, Golden Tourworld Travel (GTT).
I think this probably our 4th time traveling with GTT group to Europe.
Though we felt quite disappointed with the tour leader during our last trip in Eastern Europe, GTT still our first choice when it comes to the tour arrangement for the accommodation, food and beverages, and also transportation.
The company usually provides 4-5 stars hotels, as well as good tasting of local food and drinks during the trip.
Me and my family are very satisfied and truly enjoyed this trip; our stays at all hotels in Spain and Portugal were excellent, we get to try variety of local cuisines at most of the places, and also the tour leader, Marcus is very knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, and helpful. :)
And now, I'm just a little excited to share about the entire trip with you all! :)
I've no idea how many photos have been taken during the trip, maybe 5,000 or 6,000?! #lol
It's gonna take sometimes to organize and edit the photos before sharing them with you all.
So, in this post, I will be sharing all the places I've been during the trip, and will go deep into each places with you later.
So, do stay tuned ya! #winkwink
