Albania is quickly becoming a popular tourist dest Albania is quickly becoming a popular tourist destination due to its beautiful beaches and cheap overall prices 🇦🇱

But there’s a lot more to the country than its beaches! If you’re planning a trip to Albania, I’d highly recommend renting a vehicle so you can explore the countryside - because there are plenty of unique archaeological sites and historic landmarks off the beaten path to discover! 👀

Have you made it to Albania yet? 🥰

One of the most underrated coastal areas in Spain One of the most underrated coastal areas in Spain has to be Mojacar 🇪🇸

While the area does get busy in the peak season thanks to its wide selection of beaches, there are lots of other things to do here as well 🙌🏼

From walking around Mojacar Pueblo to exploring archaeological sites and digging in to some delicious food from local restaurants, there’s lots of reasons Mojacar, and Almeria in general, should be added to your travel plans 🏖️

Have you been to any parts of Almeria before? 🤩

Mojacar Pueblo is one of the most beautiful towns Mojacar Pueblo is one of the most beautiful towns in Almeria, and Andalusia in general 🌸

This hidden gem in southern Spain, with its whitewashed streets and Moorish architecture, actually has a history dating back to Neolithic times 🪨

I’d recommend spending at least half a day in Mojacar Pueblo, but it gets very hot here in the summer so plan accordingly! 🇪🇸
