Off!
8 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
So the off! We stayed overnight at the polygono in Sanlúcar de Guadiana so that we could pop back home for all the things that would be forgotten (14 items......quite the record) then we hitched upBaca lagi
Fuenteheridos
8–10 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C
Arrived at Fuenteheridos where all seemed calm after the excitements of the caravan-falling-off-on-the-hill thing. But this calm photo only preceded the horror of having to reverse into a rightBaca lagi
Plasencia
10–11 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
Well not actually Plasencia but Malpartida de Plasencia. We are in a huge deserted campsite with enough room to manoeuvre that even we can moor without undue levels of screaming. But why call itBaca lagi
Camping El Astral
11 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
So a lovely campsite with trees and drive-through pitches so for once we arrive without screaming at each other so out to the on-site-ridiculously-expensive restaurant to prolong the unexpectedBaca lagi
Tordesillas
12 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Well this is where the treaty was signed to divide the world between Portugal and Spain......it is said that Portugal already knew about the 'bulge' of Brazil so it was a diplomatic triumph for them.Baca lagi
Riaño
13 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Well......this is the view out the window of our caravan!!!!
Covadonga

In 722 the first king of Asturias, Pelagius, defeated armies under the Umayyad banner and this victory is regarded as the start of the reconquest of Spain. There is a holy cave here with royal TombsBaca lagi
San Glorio
16 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
It is called glorious.....and it was!
Potes
16 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
A charming town acting as a sort of gateway to the Picos......very touristy but also beauty round every corner
The Witch's Cave
17 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
We crossed the bridge over the top of the old drowned Riaño to the far bank and took a walk to the Witch's Cave in the Hazel Forrest. People still leave votive offerings there
Catedral de los Peces
19 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
There are lost villages under dammed lakes all over Spain but this one left a tower above the surface.....and you can still climb the tower!
Ojo Guareña
19 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
The geology here of a limestone slab being deposited over impervious rock has created the condition for a river to form underground and carve out a huge gallery over millions of years....over 110 kmBaca lagi
Romanesque Church
19 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
Built in the 12th century we found this little church in a village of 6 houses
Orbaneja de Castillo
20 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
So there was a navigation slip today.....well not a slip really it is just that Google doesn't really tell you whether it's proposed route is sensible or even possible towing a caravan....so today wasBaca lagi
The Stacks, Cantabria
20 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
The subtitle should be.....where they make great beer!!!
St. John
24 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
The 23 June is 'St. John's Eve' when the Spanish set fires....of course they don't do it much where we live in Andalucía because they would set the whole place afire but further north they do setBaca lagi
Coral Cave
25 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Well we think that is what it should have been called but officially Cueva de Pozalagua. What makes this place so fantastic is that the stalagmites and stalactites do not do the normal Up/Down thingBaca lagi
Suances
28 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
We have adored Cantabria and we went to the coast to see what it was like....well it was a perfectly good beach but crowded and noisy. The campsite was perfectly good too but the most exciting thingBaca lagi
Over-Sold Waterfall
29 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Fairly long hike to get to a waterfall which was frankly little more than a wet dribble....nice walk though and great bugs!!
Ruente
29 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
This broad, long fertile valley we are in has these beautiful little villages in it, Ruente is one of those. Stunning place.
Entrambasaguas
30 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Everything is so, so green here and wet! There is so much water everywhere...like Scotland with sun.
Barcena Mayor
1 Julai, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Very pretty cobbled village with the foresight to keep most (including ours) of the cars out....lots of pictures in the shops of it buried under many feet of snow so definitely not on our list ofBaca lagi
Cueva El Soplao
2 Julai, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
We have had rain!!! And fog and low cloud and...believe it or not...some coolth...so we went underground. There are lots of caves in Cantabria, either those that neanderthals found an awful long timeBaca lagi
Santo Toribio de Liébana
3 Julai, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌩️ 22 °C
This is just outside Potes and as far as I can see is closer to Potes than Liébana but that aside it's claim to fame is that when Constantine's mum went walkabout she found the true cross in 320 ADBaca lagi
