Lanzarote: The Canary Island Where Volcanoes Meet the Atlantic

Lanzarote is unlike anywhere else in the Canary Islands. Created by volcanic forces, the island combines dramatic lava landscapes, whitewashed villages, crystal-clear waters, and a unique artistic heritage. Explore the otherworldly scenery of Timanfaya National Park, wander through the vineyards of La Geria where vines grow in volcanic soil, relax on beautiful beaches, and discover the remarkable creations of artist César Manrique that blend architecture with nature. With its year-round sunshine and extraordinary scenery, Lanzarote offers a rare escape where adventure, culture, and tranquillity come together

Portugal’s Alentejo will Change Your Pace

While the crowds queue in Lisbon and stake out sun-loungers on the Algarve, the Alentejo — the vast interior plain that stretches between Portugal’s capital and the Spanish border — sits in warm, wheat-coloured silence. This is Portugal’s largest region by far, covering roughly a third of the country’s land while holding barely a tenth of its people, and that emptiness is exactly the point. It is a land of cork oak forests so old the trees predate the monasteries — Portugal produces half the world’s cork, and the Alentejo alone accounts for more than half of that total, its ancient montado woodlands ranking among the most expansive in Southern Europe.

Five Places in Slovenia and the Julian Alps for your bucket list

Slovenia sits at the meeting point of four worlds. To its north and west are the Alps and Italy. To the south is the Adriatic and the Balkans. To the east is the flat plain that runs towards Hungary. The country is small, about the size of Wales, yet it holds glacier-fed lakes, limestone gorges, vineyards, and a capital city built along a river. For a traveller who prefers depth over distance, this combination is rare. You can stand among high peaks in the morning and walk a city embankment by evening, all without a long drive

Guardians of the Peruvian Rainforest

Located among the dramatic peaks of Norway’s Lofoten archipelago, Reine is one of the most breathtaking destinations in the country. This picturesque fishing village is spread across a chain of small islands connected by bridges and winding roads, with the Vestfjord on one side and the magnificent Reinefjord on the other. Traditional red fishermen’s cabins, crystal-clear waters and towering mountains create a landscape that seems almost unreal. Despite its growing popularity among travellers, Reine remains an authentic working fishing community where centuries-old traditions continue to shape daily life, offering visitors an unforgettable glimpse into the beauty and culture of Arctic Norway

Portugal’s Alentejo will Change Your Pace

This is Portugal’s largest region by far, covering roughly a third of the country’s land while holding barely a tenth of its people, and that emptiness is exactly the point.

It is a land of Roman temples still standing in town squares — Évora’s was raised in the first century AD, during the age of Caesar Augustus, and has outlasted barbarian invasions, service as a medieval castle vault, and centuries as a humble butcher’s shop. And it is a land of marble villages, where the streets and fountains and garden walls are all cut from the same local stone, quarried from seams so rich that Portugal is one of the world’s leading marble exporters to this day.

The Alentejo is not a place you visit at speed. It is a place that teaches you, gently and without announcement, to stop.

In this email:

• Portugal’s Alentejo will Change Your Pace - These places, in particular, hold the story of this region in miniature — a Roman city, a fortified hill village, a mountain eyrie, a stretch of wild coast, and a royal town built almost entirely from stone. Together they trace the Alentejo’s arc from antiquity to empire to the quiet, barefoot present it has become for those in the know.

  • Évora — the Roman city wrapped in marble and medieval lanes

  • Monsaraz — the hilltop village overlooking three thousand years

  • Marvão — the eagle’s-nest fortress above the treeline

Spain's Must See Destinations

Spain is a country of remarkable contrasts, where ancient history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes come together to create one of Europe's most rewarding destinations. From the lively streets of Madrid and Barcelona to the whitewashed villages of Andalusia, the rugged peaks of the Pyrenees, and the sun-drenched beaches of the Mediterranean, every region offers something unique. Whether you're planning a city break, a coastal escape, or a journey through Spain's rich heritage, this guide will help you discover the country's must-see attractions, hidden gems, local cuisine, and unforgettable experiences

Five Places in Slovenia and the Julian Alps for your bucket list

Slovenia sits at the meeting point of four worlds. To its north and west are the Alps and Italy. To the south is the Adriatic and the Balkans. To the east is the flat plain that runs towards Hungary. The country is small, about the size of Wales, yet it holds glacier-fed lakes, limestone gorges, vineyards, and a capital city built along a river. For a traveller who prefers depth over distance, this combination is rare. You can stand among high peaks in the morning and walk a city embankment by evening, all without a long drive

Along the country’s Atlantic edge runs a band of territory the Spanish call España Verde — Green Spain — stretching from the French border in the east to the far north-western corner above Portugal. It takes in four regions: the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia. Rain from the Atlantic keeps the hills green for most of the year, the food leans on seafood and dairy rather than olive oil, and the pace of life is noticeably slower than on the Mediterranean coast

Slovenia sits at the meeting point of four worlds. To its north and west are the Alps and Italy. To the south is the Adriatic and the Balkans. To the east is the flat plain that runs towards Hungary. The country is small, about the size of Wales, yet it holds glacier-fed lakes, limestone gorges, vineyards, and a capital city built along a river. For a traveller who prefers depth over distance, this combination is rare. You can stand among high peaks in the morning and walk a city embankment by evening, all without a long drive.

The Julian Alps form the heart of the country’s north-west. They are named after Julius Caesar, who founded the Roman town of Forum Iulii nearby. Today much of this range sits inside Triglav National Park, Slovenia’s only national park, named after Mount Triglav, the highest peak at 2,864 metres. The park protects forests, alpine meadows, and two of the most photographed lakes in Europe. Because Slovenia only became independent in 1991, much of this landscape stayed quiet while other parts of Europe filled with crowds. That quiet is part of its appeal.

This route suits travellers who like to settle in, walk a little each day, and eat well in the evening. Distances are short. The roads are good. English is widely spoken, and the pace is gentle. You do not need to rush, and the country does not ask you to.

The Statue of Liberty Replicas in Paris

Paris is home to several replicas of the Statue of Liberty, each reflecting the shared history between France and the United States. The most famous stands on the Île aux Cygnes, a man-made island on the River Seine, while others can be found in locations such as the Jardin du Luxembourg, the Musée d’Orsay, and the Musée des Arts et Métiers. These statues vary in size and origin, ranging from early working models created by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi to later commemorative gifts celebrating Franco-American friendship.

Most people picture Spain as a place of sun-baked plains, flamenco and crowded southern beaches. The north tells a different story. Along the country’s Atlantic edge runs a band of territory the Spanish call España Verde — Green Spain — stretching from the French border in the east to the far north-western corner above Portugal. It takes in four regions: the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia. Rain from the Atlantic keeps the hills green for most of the year, the food leans on seafood and dairy rather than olive oil, and the pace of life is noticeably slower than on the Mediterranean coast.

What makes this stretch different is how much it packs into a short distance. In the space of a single coastline you move through distinct cultures, languages and kitchens. The Basques speak Euskara, one of the oldest languages in Europe. Galicia has its own tongue, Galego, and a Celtic heritage you can hear in its music. Between them sit Cantabria and Asturias, with their cider houses, mountain backdrops and pre-Romanesque churches that predate almost anything else standing in Spain. The driving distances are manageable, the roads are good, and the cities are compact enough to explore on foot.

This route suits travellers who would rather understand a few places well than tick off a long list. It rewards those who enjoy walking a harbour at dusk, sitting down to a long lunch, and letting a city reveal itself slowly. If that sounds like your kind of travel, the green north of Spain is one of the most satisfying corners of the country.
