Have you travelled to Zaragoza before? 🇪🇸

Zaragoza is one of the most underrated cities in Spain ☀️

Despite it being nestled between Madrid and Barcelona, this historic Spanish city doesn’t quite get the attention it deserves 🚘

There are numerous things to do in Zaragoza, even if you can only plan a day trip here 💪🏼

From Roman ruins to Mudejar architecture and lively restaurants, Zaragoza is one city that shouldn’t be missed during a trip to northern Spain ⚔️

A trip to Benalmádena Pueblo is never a bad decision ☀️

While the coast gets much of the attention, Benalmádena’s historic old town is worth exploring on foot, too 🚶🏼‍♀️

There are plenty of quaint places to stay in Benalmádena Pueblo if you want to spend longer here 😍

Thanks LUFLY for our new stylish luggage 🧳

1. A key attraction in Cáceres is Arco de la Estrella. It began as a 15th-century entrance called Puerta Nueva and was remodelled in the 18th century. You may recognize it as a filming location in Game of Thrones.

2. Plaza Mayor dates back to the 12th century and it quickly became the commercial heart of the city. Today, the plaza is full of cafes and restaurants, as well as several historic landmarks.

3. Plaza de Santa María was once used as a marketplace, and it later became the religious and political centre of medieval life in the city. This is where you’ll find some of the most beautiful palaces in Cáceres‎, and it’s another stunning GoT filming location.

4. Did you know you can buy cookies from nuns in Cáceres‎? Convento de San Pablo is where you can place your order (with cash) and try some traditional recipes. The cookies are passed through a rotating hatch once you place your money there, so you never actually see the nuns.

5. The historic Plaza de San Jorge is dominated by an 18th-century church that’s perfect for photographs. If the doors of the church are open, make sure you pop inside for a quick look.

6. One of my favourite places to visit in Cáceres‎ is Torre de los Pozos. This 12th-century Almohad tower once formed part of the city’s defenses, and it helped to protect wells that supplied the walled city with water during a siege.

7. There are a lot of great things to do in Cáceres‎ during a day trip, but nothing quite beats taking a casual stroll through the old town. The walled city has been beautifully preserved, and it really feels like you’re walking through history. It’s easy to see why it was used to film scenes from King’s Landing in GoT.

Spending 3 days in Stockholm isn’t nearly enough time to see everything, but it’s a good place to start 🙂

The Swedish capital is home to a lot of incredible attractions, including world-class museums and a beautiful old town 😍

The city is made up of 14 islands, and each one has something different to offer visitors 🚤

Although some of these islands are more popular than others, they’re all worth visiting if you have some extra time in your 3 days in Stockholm itinerary 🚶🏼‍♀️

What’s your favourite thing to do in Stockholm? 🇸🇪
