Place 1Three Days in the Sierra Nevada National Park written by @pushpedal

This part of our trip was very exciting. We will cycle through Spain’s largest national park and in the end we’ll arrive in Granada, the city of pomegranate. Also famous in Granada is the UNESCO heritage site Alhambra. The route we took was quite easy to make, between Almeria and Granada would go through the mountains and visit many small villages along the way. If we’re lucky we might see some snow up in the mountains.

Place 2Chile – A Patagonian adventure written by @digi-me

Patagonia is huge. It covers the southern part of Argentina and Chile. This remote and vast part of South America offers spectacular landscape which makes it one of the most dreamed of travel destination for the outdoor enthusiast. Until the beginning of the 19th century this part of Southern Chile was one of world’s least explored areas.

Place 3What makes Châtillon unique: 360° Alps View written by @dexpartacus

In this article I’ll introduce you to the village where I spent and I’m spending most of my life, where I’ve lived so far for 27 years, a considerable amount of time that made me hate it at first, especially during my adolescence where my rebellious nature and the desire to escape often got the best on me, but with time I’ve learned to appreciate it, maybe just love it madly nope, but I’m more and more convinced that living here is not so bad.
