In February, I managed to had a dream come true. I finally was able to visit Lapland, the home of Santa. Here it is our itinerary for those few days.
Arrived in Helsinki. Had the evening just to take a short walk in Helsinki.

From Helsinki we took a flight North to the magical land of Lapland.

Flight to Ivalo, Lapland. Yes, it's where Santa Claus lives. :) :) :)

Transfer to Kakslauttanen. We arranged with the host to come and pick us. Then we took a reindeer safari. Spent the night in a glass igloo.

Spent time exploring and walking around the resort, I mean wonderland, and took part in a sledge racing. In this second night spent in this magical place, we were lucky enough to se the northern lights. #heart

Bus transfer to Rovaniemi. We stayed at the Arctic Snow Hotel. We received a tour of the Arctic Snow Hotel when we arrived. We tried snow sauna or snow jacuzzi, such an experience!

Magical Lapland

Visited Plaza de Mayo neighbourhood, the political and historical heart of the city.

Visited Boca neighbourhood, the oldest part of BA.

Visited San Telmo, neighborhood with cobblestone streets, antique shops and little bistros on narrow streets and sunny plazas.

Recoleta Cemetery - one of the attractions in the city.

In the North of the country, the desertic area. Stayed in the area for 4 days.

Visited Iguazu Falls, absolutelly spectacular.

Argentina Itinerary

Flew to Seville. It's a good starting point for a tour of Andalucia region. The beautiful region is one of the sunniest and warmest places in Europe, with mild winters.

Visited the city, beautiful Plaza España, climbed in iconic Giralda Bell Tower, nice view over the city. Could not miss the Bullring either. And, of course, enjoyed some great tapas.

Took the train to continue exploring the region of Andalucia!

The first stop was Cordoba, we spent most of the day here. It was a Roman city and an important Islamic center in the Middle Ages. Visited La Mezquita, the huge mosque dating from 784 AD, impressive.

Took the train again, headed to Granada. It's situated right at the foothills of Sierra Nevada Mountains, such a beautiful scenery.

Visited Alhambra, a fortress complex and UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's a must see.

Moved on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, in Malaga, the birthplace of famous Pablo Picasso painter.

Took a day trip to the mountaintop city in Spain’s Malaga province. It’s set directly above a deep gorge, which separates the old town from the new one. Puente Nuevo Bridge (El Tajo) is quite a spectacular view.

Train from Malaga back to Seville, had some more tapas before we left. :)
