The answer should probably be "No, we shouldn't" but then we would miss out on fabulous places like the "Cappadocia of Spain". We loved all the places that we visited in this week's video and what can we say about the Otter...?!? 😭Priceless. 😍 Which was your favourite venue of this week..?!? Let us know in the comments. 💜🤟
Esa zona del Pirineo de Huesca es el más agreste e impresionante del Pirineo. La 🦦 casi no la vi! 😃 Y la serpiente estaba camuflada con una rama! 😂❤ El castillo fantástico.
Good morning Barry, Sarah and Charlotte..! It is, the whole region seems stunning, but needs much more investigation. The drone is great when it's not near water. 🤣🤣 Much love guys 😘😍💜🤟
Oh what sights you have to show us! Some really fabulous spots, and so varied. We haven't explored any of the pyrenees, so this might give us some ideas if we pass that way. That castle was phenomenal - well worth the asking price. Really loved the rock formations too. I hope you're recovered from your cold now Alison, it's just not fun at all when you're travelling is it, trying to film and explore places while feeling run down ❤ Take care guys, much love ❤️ 🤟
Hey guys..! The Pyrénées are stunning to say the least. It seems that there are several lots of rock formations similar, all round the world. I'm sure I saw another on the map, here in Austria, but I might have imagined it. 🤷🏼♀️ We really fell in love with the Loarre castle. How could we not..?!? My (Alison) cold cleared for a few days and then when we left the UK, we both went straight down with another. 🤦🏼♀️ Most likely germs picked up at Dad's funeral. Everyone was coughing and spluttering well. Darren is suffering worse than I am right now, but we now have a beautiful smattering of snow in the Austrian Alps, to inspire us. 😍 Hope you guys are enjoying your warmth of Spain..! Much love and safe travels. 😘💜🤟
@findingxanadulife oh lord, well that's what happens when you're travelling away together and then have to mix with other people, I think we suddenly lose any immunity we might have had 😂 Sorry to hear it though, but I guess it seems "correct" to have a rotten cold when surrounded by snow and mountains, perhaps even a little...festive, even (okay, too early for that!). We've found mixed temperatures here but are now driving now south, currently in Ciudad Rodrigo (which is a beauty) and things have warmed up now. Enjoy the Alps and hope you recover soon, take care both ❤️🤟
Cool rock formations, another cool place for those is Enchanted City in Cuenca. They are bigger than those. The castle was pretty cool and the views... Wow! The drone shots were a nice addition.
Hey Kat, Enchanted City is also on our list of places to visit when we get around to it. There is also and area called the 'Badlands' around the Tabernas desert area somewhere. Glad you liked the drone shots. Just something a little different. 😘🥰💜🤟
Wow guys! Glad you are back safe! Loved the castle! Not fixed up just as is. Fabulous, amazing! Oh the rivers .... remind me of the ones in the Panama forests! I am.axwstwr person so i love to watch and listen to water, very calming. Loved the rock formations as well. You'd never know about these things I think unless you research or word of mouth! Allison I don't know how you find all.of these gems but you are a pro! 👏 I am.glad you did not get caught in the horrific storm that reaked havoc in southern coast, especially Valencia. That storm moved on to France and caused much flooding as well in Paris. Hwys still blocked in Valencia area A7 and others. No train, nothing. Hundreds and hundreds have taken to the streets with shovels to help. 2hr wait in lines for bread, milk, water. It's devastating! I finally found you in Polar Steps by searching Xanadu vs your names. So you need to go and accept me? Not sure how that goes. I'll have to figure out how to set myself up for our next trip. Learning as you go .... Love these amazing little villages that you are going through one never can experience such beauty and simpleness from main hwy! Stay safe and til next time!
Good morning Elaine..! We are currently now back in France, arrived yesterday. We've been keeping a close eye on what has been happening in the Valencia area and making sure that our village and friends are all ok. Not that we could do much. Potries was on a red alert for today, but thankfully it has been dropped to orange overnight. We still don't seem to have a request to follow on Polarsteps. Here is the link to our profile. I don't know why I didn't think to do this sooner. Darren has use of our communal brain cell right now. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ Follow me and my travels on Polarsteps www.polarsteps.com/FindingXANADUlife We also adore water. Anytime we can get to park near it, we do. Blissful sounds. We loved all the places that we visited in this week's video. We were very spoiled. Much love 😘💜🤟
@findingxanadulife thank you for the link. I re-requested. Hmmmm sorry to bother you with this. Read and trains not running in Valencia. Folks told not to drive. Not sure if airport is operational again. Might not due to access via roads. You might know since you know the roads A7. Many, well, hundreds have gone from Malaga to help and are taking some badic essentials. 200+ dead and 1,900 still missing. They are still trying to move cars from all over even middle of hwys that have grass as divider. Pictures are horrible. Soooo sad! It will be a long time before things normalize in that beautiful area. I have everyone there in my prayers as I will have your friend and as I have you for safe travels in this adventure you've undertaken. Keep being the one that finds amazing and unusual places. It would be so awesome to do what you guys are doing. Im the the adventurous one, drove husband crazy in the Panama forest. I would just stop the car on the side of the road and walk in never thinking if venomous snakes and other interesting not so good creatures. And no cell phone to call for help 🙊🙈 what was i thinking. I climbed the 3rd highest mountain 5 times. That was crazy if you knew the terrain. My husband just said "you go ill be waiting with a glass of wine" 😂
We've got it right this time. We've accepted your Polarsteps follow request. The mess in Valencia is awful. The worst gota fria for 30years. Last time it was the Alicante airport that was flooded and the surrounding area. Luckily the red warning for today was downgraded to orange. Gotta Friday happen regularly each year and Spain is well geared to cope with them normally, but when you get excessive amounts of rain, it needs somewhere to go and sometimes the channels just can't cope. It's so sad. They hit so fast that you just can't get out of their way. 😢💜🤟
@findingxanadulife thanks for the accept. So when things like this happens, so devastating, govt does nothing to help? People are on their own. I saw another video today and there is just no food. I imagine due to roads being impassable distributors cannot arrive. Im not used to that system. I guess this prime minister has been there since 2018 and people are condemning him putting it mildly about his lack of help and reaction. That's not good! Safe travels. I will go to the other app and figure out how it works. How exciting!
We don't know about the current man in charge., except from what we have seen on social media. When there have been problems previously, help is sent as soon as it can be, but the Spanish people have always helped each other. A group of youngsters from our village went to help clear up. It will take a long time. Normally they set up emergency hello stations, but if the people cannot get there, they will have an issue for sure. It's so sad. 💜🤟
Hey Suzie, Wasn't it fabulous..?!? Darren and I both have Pixel 7's. Mine is the lemony green colour and Darren has the black, but they are just the normal model, not the Pro, as we're too tight to pay the extra. 😬💜🤟
@ it was great, all the places you choose to visit are what we would like, out of the hustle and bustle of city life. My husband lives his pixel 9 pro and the photos are so much better than my iPhone 14 or whatever it is. I get my sons hand me downs 🤣 I’m researching gimbals right now. Do you have a favorite Darren? Btw we are finalizing stuff with our gone to be rented out starting in Jan. Hope to travel Europe the beginning of next year hopefully… so fun
@Suziereed Congratulations on being so close to renting your home out and starting to travel. How exciting..! If you're anywhere near us at any time, we would love to meet up. We don't actually use a gimbal, they don't work for the type of movements that we do. We just have the GoPro or DJI Action 4 on selfie sticks, with automatic stabilisation switched on. 😘💜🤟
@ oh that is so good to know, I am just beginning the research. Yes we are excited, we will be slow budget traveling with our 2 cats and a checked bag. We think hahaha. I will try to do UA-cam videos for family and friends to follow. Maybe I am a true beginner but will get there. We would love to meet up. I know Spain is first then Albania but I don’t think Turkey is on our beginner year list. I do know Transylvania for Halloween next year is the plan. Hugs
We intend to go to Transylvania too, and we may well be there for Halloween next year... Sounds awesome. I'm (Alison) itching to see Vlad the Impaler's castle. 🧛♀️🏰💜🤟
Cuando puedan vayan a Navarra, monasterio de Leyre, s. XI rodeado de bosques patrimonio de la Unesco , y más maravillas como el Baztan pueblos de montaña. 😊
Gracias por la recomendación Ana, hemos agregado el monasterio y la región de Baztan a nuestra lista de lugares para visitar en el futuro.Mucho amor 💜🤟

Thank-you Steven. You're very welcome. We adored all of our visits in this video. 😍💜🤟
It must be 20 years since we were there. Thanks for the memories.
Hey Judith..! You're very welcome. We really enjoyed our visit.
Thanks for your comment and much love. Alison and Darren 💜🤟
Wow just amazing
Thank-you Matthew, we thought so too.
Much love 😘💜🤟
That castle.. Simply put, Wow!!
Great vid as always guys. 😁
That's exactly what we thought. Beautiful in every way. 😍
Thanks for your comment Gareth. Much love as always. 😘💜🤟
Happy Sunday with the three of you, agree what a castle❤
Good morning Heidi..! They were all fabulous places again this week. Bart loves adventures as much as we do. 🐈⬛🤪😘💜🤟
Can understand why you love the area, as it is very beautiful. Enjoyed the drone shots you included x x
Good morning Barry, Sarah and Charlotte..! It is, the whole region seems stunning, but needs much more investigation.
The drone is great when it's not near water. 🤣🤣
Much love guys 😘😍💜🤟
Another lovely video and another box to tick when I am in Spain again. So many lovely places to visit.
Thanks Chris. We really enjoyed all the places in this week's video.
