Continue reading “Hvar”Our big holiday back in 2017 was a trip around Croatia. We planned the main places that we wanted to go and worked it out from where we could fly from Newcastle. The trip was mainly to see Dubrovnik and we mapped out a few other places such as Zadar and the Krka national park. We decided on a few days in Split as we flew into the cities airport and from pictures the old town looked great. Split surprised us and has became one of our favourite destinations.

It seemed to have it all, stunning strips of golden sands, an historic old town, a modern science centre and one of the worlds most famous football clubs and stadiums. Is Valencia worth a visit?
