Spanish adventures in Latvia

Here is a report of our trip to Latvia, where we explored the historical part of the capital and the variety of Art Nouveau buildings surrounding it, went to hike in the Guaju natural park in Sigulda and explored the Western part of the country, crossing the widest waterfall in Europe.


Riga

Reaching for Bremen Town Musicians


Jurmala

We rode the bikes to get from Riga to Jurmala and then took a boat to get back. This was also the day to experience some of Latvian rain, but at least the people found out that it wasn’t a myth because the rest of the trip was quite dry with mild air temperatures.


Sigulda

Hike to various caves around the town and a visit to Turaida castle.
