How many days should you spend in Vejer de la Fron How many days should you spend in Vejer de la Frontera? 🤔

I’d recommend at least 2 days. The village is walkable, but to really enjoy the atmosphere, views, food, and attractions, you need more than a few hours 🥹

I’d recommend staying at @califacasas who have a great selection of holiday apartments available 👍🏼

Washington, DC is a great place to visit for a cou Washington, DC is a great place to visit for a couple of days, but the big question is where should you stay? 🤔

During our short trip to the US capital, we stayed at @staygenerator which is ideally located near Embassy Row 👌🏼

This boutique hotel sits right in the centre of the city’s diplomatic life, and there’s easy public transportation access to the main attractins from here too 🙌🏼

There are both shared and private rooms available at @staygenerator Washington, DC but I’d recommend their Deluxe King room which is the most spacious and offers the best views. The decor is also pretty cool! 🛌

What do you think about this boutique hotel in Washington, DC? 🇺🇸
