I've been there twice - saw a bullfight, the markets, the beaches, and the Matisse Museum - but want to go back for a week or so bringing all the kids.
Watch the video in the article. Lots of fine dining and wine. Top two on my travel bucket list: A week in a villa in Provence (or maybe somewhere north of Perugia) with all family, and 4 days grouse hunting in Scotland. Hey, it's almost the Glorious 12th
Good pals recently invited us to join them on this Viking trip. Would love to, but 8-10 days away is my max, and work is one of my joys so my need to get away is just for curiosity and education. No need to escape anything.
Speaking of travel, a daughter of mine found this note in some files I have been going through. My dad had sent me his travel plans in 2001 and my assistant tossed it in a file. They were in late-70s at the time with medical challenges they tried to ignore (Dad was half-blind but still working and Mom could be a space cadet) but they drove all over the world anyway same as my inlaws do now in their 80s).
It was their habit to go to Europe every early summer. They loved the canal barges in France almost as much as they loved small ships.
I suspect the deal was Sissinghurst for Royal Opera.
