A Spanish road trip with my rescue dog

A Spanish road trip with my rescue dog

When we fostered Vinnie during the first lockdown back in March 2020, I never imagined we would be driving through Spain with him two–and-a-half-years later. 

But, handing over the keys to the new owners of what was our first home coincided with the end of my contract role (plus the fact our friends were currently living in Spain) – it became an opportunity we couldn’t refuse. 

We packed up my mini, strapped in Vinnie and set off for the Eurotunnel over to Calais. Nearly 10 hours and 700 miles (with a few stopovers) later and we arrived at our first stop in Spain – San Sebastian. From here we would make our way down to Seville, followed by Zahora where we would then follow the coastline to Valencia – our final stop for Christmas Day. 

Fancy driving through Europe with your four-legged friend? Here’s what you need to know.

An unexpected trip to Barcelona 

Barcelona

I came home from my first experience of Glastonbury this year with the festival blues – which was why I was ecstatic to discover Dan was taking me to Boardmasters for my birthday. I had barely unpacked from one when, just over a month later, we were packing up the car to head to Cornwall. Not without some concerns, however. The weather was looking incredibly wet and windy. Not ideal for a festival next to the beach and the extreme opposite of the 30-degree heat we had experienced at Glastonbury.

Oh, we’re going to Ibiza…

Oh, we’re going to Ibiza…

This year one of my favourites turned 30 and to celebrate we did something I have wanted to do since I was a teenager – we partied on the beautiful, sunny island of Ibiza.
