Xinaliq Azerbaijan :The Little Hilltop Village that Saved my Opinion of the Country

After a ton of bad experiences and disappointments in the rest of Azerbaijan, it  took one final destination to restore any semblance of pleasure to my time in the country.

I liked almost everything about Xinaliq, and spent more than twice the time there than any other place in Azerbaijan. Even the drive in was so picturesque that our driver eventually got tired of us asking him to stop for photo ops.

A Little Hilltop Village

We hiked, played backgammon, watched home videos from the family who hosted us, and spent hours everyday walking in circles around the village taking pictures of beautiful buildings and wonderful people; all with impressive (and at times snow-capped) mountains in the background.

Easily my favorite spot in all of Azerbaijan, and one definitely worth the long journey to get to.
