Galicia, Spain

Via Wikipedia: Galicia, is an autonomous community in northwest Spain, with the official status of a historic nationality.

For us, a trip to Galicia represents a couple of opportunities: First, it'll be warmer. And for two former desert dwellers, we're looking forward to being toasty warm. And a little steamy. Second, we're only looking after a flat this time -- no pets for which to care for. That gives us much more freedom to explore the area, perhaps using the flat as more of a home-base for short excursions around the country. 

During this time, we'll also take a trip to the city of Mallorca to visit my friend and author Gillian Andrews, who's graciously offered up the flat for this little break in our travel schedule. Thank you, Gillian!
