Hit the road on an adventure of southern Europe
Getting from here to there while on vacation is usually done by booking a flight. If you are fed up with the hassles of airports these days and you want to do something different, why not consider a road trip instead. Only when you travel by land are you able to stop when you want and stay as long as you like. Mapping out a route can be both entertaining and educational and give you freedom that a regular can't.
If southern Europe is your destination of choice, get out your map and decide where you want to begin. You know Italy is the fashion capitol of the world and why not stop in Rome and marvel at the Colosseum or stop and get a photo at the Trevi Fountain. In Spain, you will want to mark Barcelona on your itinerary must include the Church of the Sacred Family. This is the number-one ranked landmark in this city with number two being Casa Batllo, one of two houses by Gaudi that offers a tour.
Further west is Portugal and its capitol of Lisbon. The Belem Tower, built in 1515 is a fortress that played a defensive role to Lisbon's port and it marks the starting point of many expeditions. From here, you can finish your trip with your holiday to Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Island located to the south, off the coast of northern Africa. This will end your discovery of southern Europe and along the way you created wonderful memories to take home with you.
