If you’re visiting the Costa del Sol, I’d highly recommend renting a car and driving inland. The area near the famous Caminito del Rey is great for driving as well as hiking, and you’ll come across some fantastic mountain views along the way 📸🇪🇸

Wondering what the BEST view in Manhattan is? 🇺 Wondering what the BEST view in Manhattan is? 🇺🇸

While there are a lot of options when it comes to viewpoints in New York City, one of the best options is easily @rockefellercenter 🤩

From the @topoftherocknyc you get an incredible view of the Empire State Building and the rest of Manhatten, including Central Park 💪🏼

I’d recommend booking the earliest timeslot available so you can beat the crowds, especially in the summertime 🙌🏼
