Shanghai

Shanghai is the shiniest gem in modern China’s jewel box. It’s a hip, contemporary city charging into the future with all the energy of its famous Maglev train. Yet, if you veer away from the sleek highways and glitzy shopping streets you can still stumble upon a more traditional Shanghai, with all its character and flavour. In the tiny back streets, wet-market vendors peddle their wares — buckets of bright green vegetables, fish flapping in shallow plastic bowls, and heaps of crayfish crawling over each other.

Anchorage

Anchorage rewrites the idea of what a travel destination can be. One minute you’re sipping coffee downtown, the next you’re watching a moose amble down a quiet street like it owns the place. It’s part frontier, part everyday life, with just enough edge to keep it interesting. Summer nights here stretch on forever, and in winter, the dazzling Northern Lights sweep across the sky like something out of a dream. Anchorage isn’t polished, and that’s the beauty of it. It’s weathered, wild, and unlike anywhere else.

Santander is famous for its fabulous beaches and its elegant holidaymakers: King Alfonso XIII used to spend his summers here nearly a hundred years ago, and the town is still popular among fashionable madrileños who like to be seen sauntering along the El Sardinero seafront with its belle époque architecture. When the sun goes down, the town is busy, with great restaurants and a lively bar scene. It is also a good place from which to explore the pristine countryside of Cantabria.
