@lady_travelcat's Top Tips
"Santander isn't a city which automatically comes to mind as a beach destination. Yes, the water is a little colder, but the beaches are spectacular. Bring your sunscreen!"
Favourite time of year to visit Santander
"I loved visiting in the summer as Santander is a little cooler than other destinations in Spain. There are so many lovely places to sit and relax both near the water and in the city's many plazas. "

Best moment of the day?

What impressed you the most?
"The fact that miners are working day and night carrying over 70kg of minerals on their backs… so hard to watch them! "
Why do you have to wear a mask?
"Ijen has the biggest acid lake in the world. This acid is producing a toxic smoke that could damage your lungs if breathed in for too long."
@torresani_filippo's Top Tips
"Most people don’t know that this volcano is actually very close to Bali. You can simply take public transport from Denpasar all the way to Banyuwangi, the closest town to Ijen. "
Favourite time of year to visit Ijen
"The best time to visit the Ijen crater is between April and November as this is the dry season."

Benefits of a tour guide for Tashkent
"A tour guide will take you to all the main sites, as well as the lesser-known hidden gems. You'll also benefit from their knowledge as each place has its own unique story to tell."

What do you love most about Dolomites?
"The mountains here are majestic, and shear rock faces rise from the lush green valley floors. The mountains form lines of jagged peaks that look like a “dragon’s back“."
@travellustlarry's Top Tips
"Set the alarm early and head off to the top of one of the mountain passes and see the sun rise over the Dolomites. If you are lucky you will be above the clouds that shroud the valley floor below."
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
Must pack items for Dolomites
"Pack for all eventualities, this is a mountain country. One minute you will be in a t-shirt soaking up the sun, the next you could be on top of a mountain pass in the cold, wet or even snow!"
Make sure when you are there…
"You take the Pordoi cable car up to the top of the Pordoi Massif. You are rewarded with a 360-degree panoramic view of the Dolomites - breathtaking! "
