Dinner at Orzola, opposite La Graciosa.

13 Caleta de Famara

Spend a morning discovering the superb wild beach of Famara, one of the most beautiful in Lanzarote. Located not far from the village, it's a prime spot for surfers. Beware, however, as it remains dangerous for swimmers. Enjoy the authentic charm of this small fishing village for lunch, and of course, opt for the very local fish. Dinner in Tiaga, a small village in the center.

14 La Graciosa

Considered the eighth largest island in the Canary Islands since 2018, it's well worth a visit, and at the very least, a day trip by boat to Orzola. You'll find beautiful beaches on the south coast (accessible by local 4x4) and a charming little port of call, Caleta del Sebo, with its urban beach, restaurants and cafés.

Sweden

Typical nature and charming towns... West coast of Sweden

Typical nature and charming towns... West coast of Sweden

Ideal for a discovery of the country with "a bit of city" and "a bit of nature". Between visits to Gothenburg, the small towns of Skåne and Götland that offer a glimpse of the culture and life of the Swedes, but also with moments of relaxation in a typical nature of the coast. Small red houses perched on the rocks to look out for along the southwest coast of the country.

1 Arrival in Copenhagen

Landing in Copenhagen. Depending on the time of your arrival, enjoy a short visit of the Danish capital or go directly over the Öresund bridge to the quieter and more charming city of Malmö, by car or train. If you plan to rent a car, do it in Malmö rather than in Copenhagen because it costs a bridge to cross the Öresund Bridge with a vehicle. The Copenhagen-Malmö train ride is fast, cheap and easy (directly from Copenhagen airport!).

2 Malmö, a taste of design

Wake up in Malmö and visit the city. From the train station, you can walk to the small square of Lilla Torg and then to the larger square of Stortorget (the Main Square) and wander through the shopping streets. Don't miss the Form Design Center (Lilla Torg 9) where you can get a taste of Nordic design (information, Malmö, things to see/do). History and culture lovers should not miss the Museum of Modern Art, the City Tunnel Exhibition or Malmö Castle, but in any case, we recommend a late afternoon stop at Ribersborgbadhus for a guaranteed relaxing time. A walk along the water and hop! we go to the Pier to enjoy the saunas and then a dive (summer and winter) in the Baltic.

3 Castle, walks and beach

Departure to Helsingborg where we will spend the day visiting Sofiero Castle (Sofiero Slottsträdgard) on the seaside, walking through the small streets of the old town and, in summer, basking in the sun for a few hours on the beaches at the end of Strandvägen. Alternatively, perhaps more suited to the colder months (althoughHelsingborg's seaside, and the quietness there in autumn and winter, also has a certain charm), the city of Lund is also a worthwhile stop. There is a beautiful 100 year old university, a church with a crypt and an unusual clock, as well as a very pleasant student and dynamic atmosphere. There are small stores where you can find unusual objects, cozy cafés where you can try fika (the Swedish coffee break with a pastry) and Saluhallen (covered market) where you can eat for 100 SEK (various hot meals). At the end of the day, go to Gothenburg to spend the night.

4 Visit to Gothenburg

Visit Sweden's second largest city, Gothenburg. Ask at the tourist office, as you may be lucky enough to arrive in the middle of a festival.

5 Between culture and nature

The day will be filled with culture and fika breaks. In order to enjoy the surrounding nature: the islands of Hisingen (Volvo museum, aviation museum, etc.) but also those ofHönö-Öckerö or Styrsö which can be reached by ferry (free).

6 The literary route

Drive to Tjörn (Watercolor Museum) or even Fjällbacka (the village of Camilla Läckberg's novels, 130 km from Gothenburg), taking time to drive along the coast and make stops at the seaside to jump from rock to rock and, in summer, for a little swim. Night in Fjällbacka (or back to Gothenburg).

7 title

Return to Gothenburg and then to your home country.

Bhutan

The essentials of Bhutan in 5 days

The essentials of Bhutan in 5 days

A trip to Bhutan certainly requires a certain budget. In many cases, it's this budget that determines the length of your stay, as trips to Bhutan can only be booked through an authorized travel agency. But don't let your budget hold you back. Even a few days in the "Land of the Thunder Dragon" should be a delight for all travellers in search of something different.

1 Paro

As soon as you arrive in Paro (flights usually arrive in the middle of the day), start by visiting the dzong (monastery-fortress). If time permits, a visit to the national museum may be a good option.

2 Discovery of Tiger Nest

Take your walking shoes to discover Tiger Nest in Takshang Goemba. The less courageous can be left with a mule to reach the monastery, hanging on the hill. It is one of the most beautiful in the country. There is magic in the air!

3 Direction Punakha

On the way, especially from September to October, when the sky is clear, the view from the pass is sublime: the Himalayas are cut out on a blue background. The dzong of Punakha is one of the most beautiful of the country and its visit is a must.

4 Thimpu, the capital

It is already necessary to turn back, in direction of Thimphu, the capital. The opportunity to make the last visits: dzong of the capital, textile museum or the national zoo.
