Hidden Gems - Capileira
Capileira is a small village located in the province of Granada in Spain. Located in the Sierra Nevada mountain ranges, to get to the village can be difficult due to the swooping streets and steep hills. Being the largest village in the Poqueira Gorge, there are a wide range of activities that are well worth looking into. However, one of the biggest, most popular walks lies further away than the centre of the village.

Hidden Gems - Bonassola
Welcome to Bonassola, a small town situated in between mountains and sea. Although Bonassola can be explored in around two hours due to its size, it is saturated in a relaxing atmosphere, where there is plenty to soak in, such as the vineyards and olive groves in the local area. However, it is not just Bonassola that is like this; the start of the Cinque Terre lies only a 10 minute train ride away, in Monterosso al Mare - the Cinque Terre area is identified and protected by UNESCO, meaning it is a world heritage site. Originally, the area was occupied by the Romans, but was settled by people in the 9th Century, where Saracens ruled over the land; eventually, local tribes occupied the land in the 11th century. However, it was only in the 15th Century where the area got the ‘Cinque Terre’ name from locals. But, let’s get stuck in to what makes up the area.
