Titanic scene on the Ljubljanica River!

We love ambling through the backstreets and roaming over bridges to wander the quieter parts of cities and towns. And, sometimes, we'll stumble across scenes like this one 💜

Flying into Paris a week before the Olympics this

Flying into Paris a week before the Olympics this year, we wanted to avoid the city amidst its preparations and instead took the opportunity to stay in Auxerre two hours drive away.

What a delightful surprise!. Auxerre is a city brimming with history, cobblestone streets, pretty churches, half timbered houses, and a stunning clock tower.

Whether it's a day visit from Paris or a longer visit like ourselves, we highly recommend taking the opportunity to visit this beautiful Burgundian city.

The impressive remains of the Acueducto de los Mil

The impressive remains of the Acueducto de los Milagros (Aqueduct of the Miracles).

The aqueduct was built by the Romans in the first century AD to transport water to the city when they controlled the area. It's located on the outskirts of the city of Merida in Spain.

We detoured to visit the archeological park after spending a few hours in Merida looking at the ruins there. Merida has some of the best Roman ruins in Spain, which date back to 8 BC.

One of the early highlights on our walk along the 800km (500 miles) of the Camino de Santiago in Spain was arriving in Pamplona during the annual San Fermin, Running of the Bulls festival in early July.

The festival has been celebrated since the 14th century. While the actual bull run lasts for only a few minutes each morning, the city continues celebrating all day and into the night every day!

It was a unique experience to be in the centre of the revelry.

A glimpse of the cathedral spire as we walked around the streets of St Malo in the early morning.

Afterwards, we completed a circuit of the Old Town on the city walls. What a treat to look out over the sea and get a different perspective of the Breton town from above.

Remnants of a temple at the Acropolis in the Selin

Remnants of a temple at the Acropolis in the Selinunte Archeological Park on the Sicilian coast. Selinunte was a busy Carthaginian trading city built in the 7th century BC.

Most visitors go to Agrigento to see the Valley of the Temples forgoing Selinunte, which is one of the biggest archeological parks in Europe.

We recommend including it on your Sicilian itinerary. It's a wonderful place to spend a few hours immersing yourself in an ancient Greek city with the picturesque Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop.

Panonramic views of the Swiss Alps from Lake Geneva.

We took this shot in Montreux, where we stayed for a few days. The town is known for its picturesque lakeside promenade, medieval castle, jazz festival, and access to some of Switzerland's finest wineries.

There's a reason why it's called the "Pearl of Lake Geneva."
Spectacular scenery like this can be found everywhere you turn.

Hobbit houses, colourful knitted squares strung between trees, the rolling hills of the Spanish countryside, and the historic town of Sahagún.

We came across all of the above during our days 19 and 20 of walking the full Camino de Santiago. The walk, whether you're completing it as a pilgrim or not, takes you through some amazing places that few tourists will ever see.

Head to the link in our bio to read more about Sahagún and its surrounds on our latest blog post or go straight to www.travellingsimply.com

A view of the Lower and Upper Barrakka Gardens.

Both are easily accessed from the old town and provide panoramic views through their arches of the Grand Harbour and across to the Three Cities.

It's also a good vantage point for watching the daily firing of the canons at midday and 4pm.

An evening in Piazza del Duomo featuring the Duomo and Fontana dell'Elefante.

Catania is a major gateway for visiting the fabulous little towns of eastern Sicil. We stayed in the city for several days on our way south this year and found a city rich in history, Baroque architecture around every corner, and a lively market surrounded by plenty of restaurants. All were within reach from this stunning Piazza.
