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

Beyond the Costas: Five Spanish Cities on the Atlantic You Haven’t Visited Yet

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
