Frankie, Spain Last summer, on a road trip around the Basque Country and Navarre, my girlfriend and I made an afternoon pit-stop at San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. The setting of the church atop the islet is like somethingfrom a fairytale and provides incredible views of the ancient Basque coastline (all the more satisfying for the steep hike to get there).

Gillian Homeri Jenny Galligan Sarah Shaw While we were staying at the delightful art centre retreat Flores del Camino, a beautifully restored traditional stone house in the medieval village of Castrillo de los Polvazares on the Camino de Santiago near Astorga, our friendly hosts Bertrand and Basia took us at dawn to the nearby 5,000-year-old petroglyphs of Maragateria, facing mount Teleno.
