Skip the crowded bridge shot at sunset and walk ten minutes uphill to the Vitoria viewpoint instead. Quieter, better light, and there is a tiny cafe next door with espresso for one euro. Happy to share the other two spots if anyone wants them.
Camped outside the forest, cooked on a gas stove, and climbed five days for less than a weekend city break. The sandstone there is famous for a reason. Ask me anything about logistics.

Become a Core member Planning season is open. Where should I point the camera next?
Light, weather-sealed, and boring in the best way. Reliability beats megapixels every time.
It is not lonely, it is loud in your own head, and that turns out to be a gift.
A running list from this year. Number three still haunts my dreams in the best way.
Flexible dates, incognito, and a mid-week departure. The savings are almost silly.
Everyone photographs the same three lakes. Here are the quiet ones worth the extra hour.
Roll, do not fold, and put a packing cube on it. I fit a week into a carry-on now.
Trams, pastel de nata, and a viewpoint for every hour. Here is exactly how I would spend two days.
