At its peak in the 4th century it was an important trade and economic centre – even the Roman emperor Augustus studied here 📚

This archaeological site in Albania should take approximately 90 minutes to walk around. Once you’re done you can take a look at the Archaeological Museum as well as the impressive monastery 😮‍💨🇦🇱

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? 🤩
