  1. Aurinkorannikon takana kypsyy tuhansia vuosia vanha aarre – nyt luvassa huippusato

    Málagan viinitarhoilla odotetaan vaikeiden vuosien jälkeen yhtä viime vuosien parhaista sadoista. Axarquían kuuluisaa moscatelia kesän helteet ovat kuitenkin koetelleet.

  2. Andalusia & Seville 2026 – part 3: SEVILLE

    SEVILLE is not a discreet city. The city hits you with its intense heat, the scent of orange blossoms, and the sound of flamenco guitars emanating from every other door. [The ‘old town’ of] Spain's fourth-largest city is compact enough to explore in a weekend, yet large enough to make you want to return. In 48 hours in Seville, you can visit the main monuments (the cathedral), you can also explore the tapas bars in Santa Cruz. This is the 3rd part of my journal on our family trip in Spain this summer. […]

  3. Andalusia & Seville 2026 – part 2: COSTA DE LA LUZ

    This is an edited version of the guidelines my wife created for our 2026 vacations in Andalusia and Seville I told you in a previous post. The plan covers an 8 days trip, arriving in early afternoon in the Seville airport and going back home from the same airport in the second part of the afternoon the 8th day. During our stay we made some last minute modification to this program, which is very long and detailed. So take your time to read it with calm Given the lenght of the ‘guide’ I've split it in two parts: Costa de la Luz and Seville. Consider this post as the part 2 of a series. […]

  4. Andalusia & Seville 2026

    Once a year, given the chance, my family uses to do a summer trip away from home. This year we decided to move to Spain, visiting another piece of the Country. Having been in Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia (many times) the initial idea was to go Bilbao and norther area of Spain, moving from city to city with a car. Then we realized this would be a nice travel for us parents, but for my ~9 years old child would be a bore.We were fascinated by the Andalucia, but also scared of this heat that's […]

    “[The author has] already discussed ancient water management systems, such as the qanats in Persia and other Eastern countries. In Europe, there are the acequias of the Sierra Nevada in Andalusia, Spain.
    The hand-dug channels date back over 1,000 years to the Moorish era. Networks of canals, aqueducts and cisterns were engineered to capture and transport snowmelt, turning this natural resource into a sustainable water supply for agriculture. The high-altitude ditches had openings, allowing water to infiltrate into fractures and faults, replenishing the aquifer, and to irrigate the lower levels of the slopes.
    𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗮𝘀?
    ✅ Gravity-fed irrigation that supported terraced farms and local biodiversity.
    ✅ Designed to distribute water slowly and equitably, even during dry summers.
    ✅ Stretching over thousands of kilometres, these systems fell into disuse in the 1980s but are now part of restoration efforts led by the MEMOLA Project (Universidad de Granada).
    With climate change and more intense droughts, the Acequias could provide an ancient solution to the modern-day water crisis…”
