Travel Writer Cordoba and Jaén, Andalucia

Other than than, writing, what should be a fortnightly article, for BeSeeingYou.World.com and my own blogs Luxury Spain Travel and Only Spain Boutique Hotels little time has been spent here, my first foray into blogging.

My other job also racks up many hours meeting people of differing nationalities and travelling around showing them what will hopefully be their new home or holiday home.

My adopted home, since 1996, affords me plenty of fabulous places to visit and write about, even now after all these years.
