The Cranky Campers celebrate the start of the summer solstice in true LA style. We attended the second night of Noah Kahan's "We'll All Be Here Forever" set at the Hollywood Bowl, then returned to Griffith Park to hike up to the famed Hollywood sign and visit the Batcave.
Calaveras Big Trees State Park is a magical setting in the snow. Unfortunately, driving in a snowstorm can prove futile and even dangerous if caught unawares.
The Cranky Camper takes a mini-road trip to the south of France. In this post, we explore the city of Perpignan located in the Pyrenees-Orientales region of France. Photos from the Palais des Rois de Majorque, along with views of the city itself showcase the historic beauty of the town. Bonus recipe for patatas bravas at the end of the post.
The Cranky Campers explore the historic city of Barcelona in the Catalonia region of northern Spain- and learn how to make paella and sangria. Included at the end of this article is a recipe for vegetarian paella.
The sunny shores of Baeleric Sea, part of the Mediterranean, enjoy relatively mild weather, even late in the year. The Cranky Camper visits the Costa Brava, Spain's northern 'rough coast.' At the end of this post is a bonus recipe for sangria.
