Best of Europe



From James Martin, your Guide to Europe Travel
Ever wonder what it's like to have a European spa experience? Europeans have gotten used to them, some thermal baths have been known since Etruscan times, but Americans can be a bit squeamish about an experience they know little about and don't have to dress for. So, I sent Martha to find out about the thermal baths in Baden Baden and she's filed a special report. You know baths are important when you name your town (twice!) after the experience.

Caracalla Terme: What to Expect at the Baths in Baden Baden
Martha had her shoulder wrenched at some point in our trip (it wasn't me, honest!) and was looking for some relief. So I sent her to the Baths called Caracalla Terme in Baden Baden. Did they do her any good? Find out by clicking the link above.

Miranda do Douro Guide
Miranda do Douro sits on the far eastern boundary of Portugal. It's a pretty, walled city with the ruins of a castle, a great ethnographic museum, interesting food, and traditional music with a Celtic influence. Miranda sits on some prime Douro River gorge real estate. Find out all about this destination or just look at our Pictures of Miranda do Douro to see if this interesting border town deserves a place on your itinerary.

Does Wine Taste Better Where It's Made?
Interesting question, eh? Find out what some experts say about this issue by reading the comments--and leave your own if you have a strong opinion.

Segovia, Spain
In honor of Spain's defeat of mighty Germany in the World Cup yesterday, we offer this guide of one of my favorite Spanish places, Segovia. (Another favorite small city is Peñafiel, who can decide?)
