SLOVENIA

"An earthly paradise of snow-capped peaks, turquoise-green rivers and Venetian-style coastline combined with pretty architecture, charming rustic culture and sophisticated cuisine."

Slovenia is a special and welcoming place to travel, with architecturally grand, cultured cities, and lush pine-forested countryside, perfect for hiking and biking in summer and skiing in winter. Its good looks draw comparisons with Switzerland but far lighter on the wallet, offering tremendous value. Imbued with fantastic, scraggy mountains, turquoise rivers and silver lakes, vast subterranean caves, and just enough medieval castles to conjure up a fairy tale or two, Slovenia is one of those destinations you hope to visit again and again.

SPAIN (ANDALUSIA)

"The swish of a flamenco dress, the glimpse of a white village perched atop a crag, architecture of Seville, taste of tapas, the aloof Lynx – memories of Andalusía linger."

The popular image of Spain as a land of bullfights, flamenco, sherry and ruined castles derives from Andalusía, the most quintessentially Spanish part of the Iberian Peninsula. Above all, it’s the great Moorish monuments that compete for your attention here. The Moors, who crossed into Spain North Africa, occupied al-Andalus for over seven centuries creating an incredibly diverse influence in architecture, music and tasty tapas. Add to that the nature and wildlife of the rural areas and you have a region that has a little bit of everything. Find out more…
