Often we pick up the camera and just randomly film a few seconds of just odd little things that are either beautiful, quirky, different or special to our day. Those little snippets aren’t part of any particular bigger picture, but instead all join together to make what van travel is all about ~ the adventure, the exploration and of course the memory, so this random mix is just that ~ random! A landscape of dramatic gorges famed for its Vutures where dedicated viewing areas allow for watching these huge birds of prey. The Barrancas Las Gargantas canyon is home to adventure seeking canyoning opportunities but we carry on to the beautiful hilltop town of Alquezar in this wonderful region of inland Spain. Tranquility, serenity and beauty on this intoxicating route along an old railway track alongside the Irati River in the Navarra region of Spain. From dramatic gorges to Vultures circling overhead and of course those long tunnels carved through the rock, just don’t forget your torch! Pisa’s famous leaning tower is simply one of the most beautiful, almost delicate structures. Intricately carved from white marble with 8 floors and 192 columns and limestone being used in some non-visible areas. Finding a good drive just makes our day and this one in the Valle de Hecho brought a welcome bonus to an already beautiful region of Spain. Located to the North East of Pamplona, it’s a fabulous route and one leading to an area of beautiful walks, but the star attraction has to be the red river Aragon flowing through the gorge, making a wonderful colour-way against that bright blue sky! #vanlife4x4 #vanlife #vanlifediaries #valledehecho #visitspain #bestdrives #beautifuldestinations Once a thriving village, the occupants of Janovas were forced out of their homes in the 1950’s, their crops destroyed and many buildings blown up, to make way for a dam which was never actually built.
