Read MoreTibidabo – Barcelona from a different view
Tibidabo is a small mountain in Barcelona, overlooking the whole city and with beautiful views of the Mediterranean. Want to escape all the crowds and noise in Barcelona? This is definitely the place to go!

Read MoreDon’t rush, you’ll get there.
People rushed, they considered it to be a race for beds. Well to be honest they found their beds, they had the rest of their day to spend in a small village, cooking, washing, sleeping or just hanging out. But what was the point of rushing? Just to find the bed?! I know people who did not rush, and yes they did not find their beds in the village they were aiming to. Some of them walked even more, covering an extra 10 Km to reach the following village and get a bed; some decided to sleep in the open air or camp; and some even decided to go for expensive normal hostels not pilgrim houses (Lazy...
