In today's episode we’re taking you on a fabulous day trip from Adelaide, through the Barossa Valley on a hop-on hop-off bus tour with TrailHopper, which is such a great way to visit a wine region as you have lots of flexibility and you don’t have to drive. We stopped firstly at Bethany Wines – which was a bit emotional and we tell you why early on in the podcast. Next was the stunning Lambert Estate for a long and very enjoyable lunch with spectacular views. Then we went onto a favourite - Saltram and Pepperjack wines where tasted some famous reds in the pretty gardens and lastly Kaesler Winery where we met the winery dog – Lucy and had a wine with a very unusual name. If you’re thinking about doing the Barossa for a day or even staying overnight, this episode will give you some great ideas on where to go, what to expect, and how to make the most of it.

In this episode we’re heading back to one of our absolute favourite cities in Spain, San Sebastián. This beautiful Basque city on the Bay of Biscay has a bit of everything we love when we travel. Incredible food, stunning beaches, an easy-to-walk city centre and one of the best food cultures in Europe thanks to its famous pintxos bars. This was our second visit, and it confirmed what we already suspected… San Sebastián might just be Lyle’s favourite Spanish city. In today’s episode we wander through the Old Town, stroll along the famous La Concha promenade, take in the views from the surrounding hills, and talk about the pintxos culture that makes the city such a food lover’s paradise. Stay listening because we’ll also tell you about one of the most unusual, and honestly slightly gross sounding pintxos that we tried… and ended up absolutely loving. And we’ll explain why the fanciest hotelin town still has bullet holes in its walls. And if you’d like to see the photos, a map with all the locations mentioned and the tours we did then click here www.beachtravelwine.com/podcast/144/sansebastian

So grab a glass of wine, settle in, and come exploring San Sebastián with us.

We finally made it to Segovia… and instantly regretted not coming sooner. From the towering Roman aqueduct to the storybook castle and plates of seriously good food, Segovia delivers at every turn. In this episode we tell you the best time of day to visit the aqueduct, and a secret vantage point, oh plus a fantastic rooftop bar to take in the stunning view at night. We also walk through the main street, through Plaza Mayor, past the cathedral to the Alcazar that inspired Disney's Cinderalla Castle. Of course there is a whole lot more to learn about Segovia in this episode, but if you want to see the interactive map with all the places we visited, and the fantastic photos (especially the aqueduct at night) then click here www.beachtravelwine.com/podcast/143/segovia
