In co-operation with interhome

Majorca is one of the most popular destinations in the Mediterranean, which is perhaps not surprising given its fine sandy beaches, crystal clear sea water and idyllic villages climbing the green hills. Mallorca also enjoys many days of sunshine per year and a mild climate, making it suitable for travelling throughout much of the year.

Beautiful Ibiza - which we must visit

Beautiful Ibiza has grown up. The party island that all young people travelled to in the 60s and 70s has for several years taken steps to take advantage of all the beauty that the island offers. I (Peter) was at a morning meeting with the tourist office from Ibiza in Stockholm, and I got a new destination that I want to experience in the future.

Tough journey to Barcelona - and on board the Freedom of the Seas!

After Robin's party we did not sleep for many hours, and then it was time to leave for Arlanda. We didn't know it then, but it would be another sleepless night. When we finally got on board the cruise ship Freedom of the Seas yesterday, it also did not start as calmly as we had wanted. On the contrary, the cruise started with queues, congestion, loud speaker announcements and a fire drill. We finally got a quiet and really nice evening on the ship, but before that we had some chaos.

Spain vs Portugal - what is it like to go on holiday?

Now we've spent about a month in Portugal and about a month and a half in Spain. So what do we think? We like both Portugal and Spain, but in different ways. We probably like Portugal the most, as we find it more beautiful, less exploited and cheaper. Spain, on the other hand, has surprised us with beautiful and interesting cities such as Seville, Valencia and Tarragona.

Easter in Spain - a mighty display!

Easter in Spain is very different from Easter in Sweden. Easter is celebrated for the same religious reason as in Sweden, i.e. to commemorate the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus. However, many of the Swedish Easter traditions, such as Easter baskets and Easter eggs, have nothing to do with the suffering of Jesus, but originate from folklore and non-religious traditions... In Spain, it is easier to understand the religious connection!
