Today’s Destination is: Nerja and Frigliana, Spain Today’s Mistake- Leaving my house key on the rental car keyfob. Travel Advice: Pack the night before, or earlier FAQ: How can I find a good tour, they way I like it? Answer: Independent travel is the opposite of a tour group, however, there are times when you will need to be on a tour, based on the destination. Everyone has their own idea of what makes a good tour and tour guide. Want a list of the best tour companies of 2021? Top for singles is Exodus Travel and for seniors Eldertreks. Today’s destination: Spain’s Mediterranean coast of Frigliana and Nerja If you are heading to the area near Malaga, south of Grenada, Spain, I would suggest visiting Frigliana and nearby Nerja. Friends from Ireland, Jill and Don Herlihy were my hosts on a fall trip to this area. They are both tour guides and have the gift of storytelling. https://www.simplyenjoytravel.com/places-to-see/spain/visiting-frigiliana-hidden-gem-andalusia/ In the Spanish days of the past, clay tiles were formed on the thigh of the worker. Christmas time is special. Load up a burro with a picnic and head to your picnic destination for a delight. In the early days traffic here was mostly by mule. Paths were the silk transport arteries. Fish from coastal Nerja and nearby were hiked over the mountains to Grenada, overnight, a 50-mile trek with burros. Whoever’s burro got the fish there first got the best prices as they were the freshest. The town of Nerja is a walking town and I loved swimming in the Mediterranean Sea there, even in late fall. Visit the Caves of Nerja, weather permitting. These caverns are one of the major tourist attractions in Spain. Concerts are held inside the chambers, where there is a natural amphitheater. See show notes for details. https://www.nerja-turismo.com/en/nerja-caves/ Today’s Mistake- Leaving my house key on the car rental fob. I rented a Turo car for several days in Atlanta and it was a good experience overall. However, I left a house key on the keychain when I returned the vehicle. That was not a smart move. When you return your rental car, make sure you don’t have anything left behind, including a key. I also have left items in the storage bin between the front seats. Double check your car before you return it. Today’s Travel Advice-Pack the night before, or earlier If you wait until the day of your trip to pack your suitcase, it’s likely you will forget more than one important item for your trip. Get your bag packed the night before, even if you’re going on a short trip. You will sleep better, knowing your bag is ready to go. You will likely forget fewer items, too.

RIP Dean Alphonso Buell

Celebrating the life of Dean Alphonso Buell in April, 2012 with his mom and two friends. Dr. Travelbest is priviledged to know Raquel Giraldez, mother of the deceased, as she was the designer and illustrator and most travelled friend of Dr. Travelbest in 1993 as the book was being written and published. Dean was involved with the editorial, even though he was a youngster at the time. Thanks, Dean, for sharing your mom so that Dr. Travelbest could teach others about Independent Travel. Speaking of travel, this is the view from the front yard of Raquel's home in Buellton, CA. The mountains in the distant background are picture postcard on this memorable day, right near the 101. (Photos: top: view from Raquels, bottom: center, Raquel and right, Rosanna Figuerola (sp?) at the Celebration of Dean's 24 years on the earth.) There were so many stars that night, we knew that Dean was watching us from above with his new friends.

I want to travel independently, does that makes sense? Written by: Lizandra Jimenez Rodriguez When traveling becomes a great passion, you usually keep a bucket list framed at your desk or in the lock screen of your phone. You never stop planning or deciding when, where, and how to get to the next place. There are tons of ways to travel, however, independent travel has been always a popular one for those seeking adventure, exploring on their own, or simply trying to get away from the traditional and superficial (for some) tourist routine. A myth we need to forget is that independent travel is not all about backpacking in Europe or climbing the Everest; in fact, it can be done in many ways including different levels of budget and luxury. Also, independent travel can be done solo or with an affinity group with a particularly crafted itinerary. This makes it very different from escorted traveling of course. Companies have understood how escorted traveling is not for everyone and to
