@casalopinto is a beautiful rural retreat in southern Spain, located under an hour away from Malaga’s city centre 🚘

It’s also positioned at the base of El Torcal de Antequera, which is known for its unusal limestone rock formations, and it’s within easy driving distance from world-famous attractions and cities like Granada, Seville, and Ronda 😎

The house itself features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and can sleep up to 6 people, making it ideal for group trips! There’s also a charming living room and kitchen, an upstairs balcony with El Torcal views, and a fantastic pool area complete with an outdoor BBQ and a table tennis table 🏊🏼‍♀️

Casa Lo Pinto is the perfect escape from the Costa del Sol, and it’s also a very quiet place to work from for digital nomads who want to explore Antequera 💻

York is worth more than just a day trip! 😮‍💨

The city was founded by the Romans in 71 AD and it was later controlled by Danish Vikings ⚔️

It’s a fascinating city to walk around, and most of the main attractions are accessible by foot 😍

Make sure you visit the street that inspired Diagon Alley - The Shambles! 🧙🏼

One of my favourite places to visit in England is One of my favourite places to visit in England is York 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It’s a beautiful historic city to explore on foot, with plenty of hidden gems and stunning buildings to admire 👀

But where should you stay in York? 🤔

We spent a perfect evening at @themilner which is ideally located next to the train station. This 4-star hotel is situated inside a huge Victorian-era building, with elegant and modern rooms mixed in with charming lounge areas. Our double room even had a view of York Minster in the distance! 🔔

If you’re not sure where to eat in York, the hotel’s restaurant, Peachey’s Bar & Grill, is a great option with plenty of dishes to choose from. I’d also recommend adding their buffet breakfast to your booking so you can start the day off with a full stomach before heading out into York’s old town 🍽️

Have you stayed at this hotel in York before? 🛌
