#guadalest

Anyone here have a connection to ‘Polop’? That’s where my grandparents had a home and I visited since I was 0-23 (and went to a small little Norwegian school for some weeks - that wasn’t in Polop but I can’t remember the name.. ). I really wanna go back there. It’s my childhood in so many ways, so would be hella cool if anyone has a connection to it. Polop, Althea, even Guadalest. Around there.

Castell de Guadalest, Valencian Country.

Built in the 11th century, this was an important castle in the Middle Ages. But the earthquakes of 1644 and 1748 and the Napoleonic war in 1808 destroyed most of it. Nowadays, only a few towers remain standing.

After all this travelling we feel like we need a holiday. Finally we can slow down the pace, take the road one bend at a time, climb the mountains without fear of snow and give the van a much needed tan on the beach... Okay, maybe that one's just for us.
