Walktober is Here!

After a year away enjoying my maternity leave to the max, I´m back blogging again. I started teaching full time again this fall, and while I can´t deny it´s fun tracing my initials in a tray of corn meal, I´m keen to write something a little more in depth.

So, Walktober. Yes, I went there. I love walking and I love October. And Spain? I love how  the beautiful and varied walking opportunities the Fatherland has to offer.

An old tourism slogan for Spain read Spain is Different. It´s a shame this one´s not still in play; this country really is different and has so much more to offer than urban shopping experiences, flamenco shows, paella and packed beaches. Maybe when you think walking in Spain, your mind jumps to the Camino de Santiago. A beautiful option, but... there´s even more! Mountains, deserts, forests, ocean cliffs, city parks and seaside boardwalks, for example. 

This year´s 31 Days challenge has officially begun: Walktober. 31 Days of Walking in Spain.

Come, take a walk with me!
