We anticipated that parking situation in Cordoba will be as tense as in Malaga or Granade, therefore we googled the free parking before we drove to this city. We found free parking in the area of Torre De Calahorra. You have to be aware of the self-proclaimed “valets”, who wave you in the free slot and “help” you to [...]

Skaftafell The day number four was quite relaxed in terms of driving. We drove only around 200 km and were in total 2,5 hours on the road. First, we stopped again at the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon to see it in the sun light (I wrote about it in the previous post: Link). Then, we drove to the Skaftafell [...]
This day was a hard-driving day: we spent more than 5 hours on the road, 400 km driven. However, driving in Iceland was pleasant, even enjoyable.

Iceland happens to be the location of Europe most impressive waterfalls. In total, there are about [...]
