Wipe away your tears sad travellers! Paris is not going anywhere; you can always come back and visit her again. You; on the other hand; are going somewhere; and it's somewhere pretty magnificent...


Bordeaux

Wise folk tell us that wine has been produced in Bordeaux since the 1st Century - that's a long time; which means they know what they're doing. And it's not just the vin that has dragged us here; it's a pretty place to boot featuring its famous Miroir d'eau (water mirror).

Having settled into life with afternoon siestas; today will only be a departure from San Sebastian; don't worry leaving Spain is not on the agenda. Sigh with relief.

COLLAPSE

Barcelona

They say this sexy city sizzles and we couldn't agree more. For a taste of what you can do; here's just a start of the never-ending list. Channel Gaudi at Sagrada Familia; his greatest masterpiece; started in 1882. This labour of love is still not compete; but is one for the Instagram upload for sure. Parc Guell could be next on the list; followed by the beach; and of course taking to the backstreets for some endless tapas and paella. Washed down with sangria of course.
