About a 4-hour drive from Barcelona lies the Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido. This incredible jewel of a park is definitely off the beaten path from the more popular destinations in Spain. There are a handful of different hikes in the park, the most popular of which, el Camino de Soaso, ta...

After you unload off of the bus stop, you begin to climb the stairs and ramps that lead to the top of the Bunkers. Once you reach the top, after the short trek, you are welcomed with a complete 360 degree view of the city. There are many places to sit and chill with friends up there for it was once ...

It takes about 2.5 hours to get to Cañón del Río Lobos Natural Park driving from Madrid. Along the 200 kilometers between Madrid and the Natural Park, little towns in the region of the Sierra Norte de Madrid can be spotted from the car, such as La Cabrera and its granite massif of Paleozoic origin t...

You know those videos you see of people scoring epic waves in picturesque destinations with empty lineups. I can't promise epic waves but this adventure surely promises the same getting-lost and off-the-beaten-path feeling as surf videos represent. The journey starts in the small, deserted, beachsid...

The "Central Park" of Madrid, Spain, this enchanting park is known for its regal ambiance, and rightly so, as it was once the personal gardens of King Philip IV, when he started "El Buen Retiro Park" in the 1630's. From then on it continued to be inherited by Spain's kings and queens, and was modifi...

El Camino is one of the most popular treks in the world. While there are a number of different routes you can embark on for this trek, I recommend the Primitivo route as it is a bit more challenging, and has both fewer people and beautiful views. This route technically begins in Villavicosa, but you...

Following the trails that are suitable for cars and the route can be loop, out-and-back or point-to-point, as wished. A military zone with no fence but marks should be avoided. The park can be traveled by walk, Segway, bicycle or by car. Cars can only travel on allowed tracks. Although it is possibl...

Departing from the beautiful and welcoming Hotel Txantxorena, we connected with the Camino de Santiago at Calle 4 to loop eastward before diverging off the village roadways. Zubiri, Basque for bridge, did not disappoint with several pleasing river crossings to adorn the 25 km walk southwest into the...

The Riverside Walk carves through several different areas of the large city of Pamplona. It starts at the lush gardens and fields of La Magdalena and continues on for nearly seven miles paralleling the Arga River. The path connects several parks and offers wide river bends for fishing, as well as ac...

Departing Roncesvalles with rested bodies was an unknown necessity. As we picked up the path marked with blue and yellow arrows, my companions and I were promptly greeted with a dark and damp forest trail, with thick moss upon the stone wall. I felt heavy, but not due to my pack or hiking boots that...

Does this place look familiar? That's because San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is the location where HBO's Game of Thrones filmed the fictional location of Dragonstone. This relatively short hike is absolutely beautiful. It is in the Basque country of Spain. This memorable and iconic location will have you ...
