Sabbatical in Corona times
To Italy? No, there’s Corona, let’s go to Spain…
It was supposed to start in 2020, the job was prepared, the fat one was ours, had been tried and what was still to come, let’s go. Well, and then came Corona. Our sabbatical started in mid-February, the trip was supposed to start right at the beginning of March. There were big plans, Italy, Monaco, Spain, Portugal, France and, if it works out, off to the far north, to Norway.
Then it started, the news knew nothing half and nothing whole, but it was bad in Bergamo, Italy. Still completely ignorant of what will keep the entire world in suspense for another 2.5 years, we rescheduled. Straight off to Spain and then the rest of the trip planned in my head.
Well, and what we experienced then, you can read in the following blog posts.

Nerja, Granada and the Sierra Nevada Road Trip 2020
Coming from Cordoba it was clear that we wanted to go back to the sea. We had searched with the help of common apps for a pitch that already sounded great in the descriptions and it was a little paradise. The signage led us to a kind of small parking lot where we thought, ok,…

Tarifa – Road Trip 2020
A long-cherished wish of us was to learn kitesurfing in this sabbatical. Finally have more time to devote yourself fully to a sport and to learn it properly. The time had come. The next stop should be Tarifa. Mecca for kite and windsurfers from all over the world. A few Spaniards had recommended a nice…

Not easy on the first look in Portugal
We decided to drive directly from Tarifa to Portugal. The Algarve called and we had so many pictures in our heads. Pictures of buses standing on cliffs, of people enjoying the insane sunsets in peace and the endless expanse and loneliness.For safety, we had first picked out a campsite just behind the border and then…

The Algarve
Before we found our pitch on the place Salema Eco Camp, we experienced a wonderful surprise.We were on foot on the huge terrain to find the most beautiful place for our “Dicken”. Suddenly, a few meters away, a woman jumped from her camping chair in front of the tent and stood wildly dancing in the…
