Girona: One Historic Day in Catalonia, Spain
Girona is approximately 40 minutes from Barcelona by train or an hour and a half drive by car, making it an ideal day-trip to those looking from a break from the bustling city.

Crossing the Hajar Mountains
“Are you ready?” My eyes shut tightly, “Yep, let’s do it”. A loud whirring of the zip line and a sharp gush of wind blowing past my face, and just like that any fears I may have had retreated as I flew over a beautiful abyss of layered limestone and ophiolite.

Dole Whip Alternatives At Walt Disney World
Part of what makes a Dole Whip so enticing is its combination of creamy simplicity and pop of pineapple flavor. This cool and airy treat is ideal for the mid-day Florida heat and has inadvertently become a staple of the Disney resorts.
