The Lakes

Above Covodonga there are two glacial lakes. Entry is now restricted and by ticket and bus ......with zero tolerance of dogs so I went on my own. Up in the clouds at the top of the world so snapsもっと詳しく

One of the attractions of this part of Spain is the cider......it is not drunk the way one would expect from vast flagons of falling over water...... instead the brew itself is unfiltered and full ofもっと詳しく
Somiedo
7月8日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
So a terrifying tow of the caravan through the canyon to get here . Lots of hairpins and nobody (including me) seemed to be able to stay on their side of the road. Lots of 'Oh Fuck' braking. Thisもっと詳しく

Estoy en Babia

Bayona

A Guarda
7月14日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
A Guarda and the (not very easy) entrance to the Minho are south of Bayona and on the border with Portugal. Lots of fishing here so we had a very good lunch of razor clams and prawns.
Tui
7月16日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
