Off!
8 июня, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 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 upЧитать далее
Fuenteheridos
8–10 июн., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 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 rightЧитать далее
ПутешественникUsed to tow my Dads caravan years ago when we were divers.....in extremis I used to unhitch and manoevre by hand....
Plasencia
10–11 июн., Испания ⋅ ⛅ 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 itЧитать далее
Camping El Astral
11 июня, Испания ⋅ ⛅ 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 unexpectedЧитать далее
Tordesillas
12 июня, Испания ⋅ ☁️ 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.Читать далее

Love the Toro ... Could you pop it in the caravan, would look great by our pool!
Riaño
13 июня, Испания ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Well......this is the view out the window of our caravan!!!!
ПутешественникA LOT milder! Perfect temperature in fact - wouldn't like to be here in the winter tho!!!
Covadonga
14 июня, Испания ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
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 TombsЧитать далее

Wasn't Covadonga some sort of code in the Spanish civil war? Also in san Silvester de Guzman there is a road called Covadonga...,? Anyway, looks lovely
ПутешественникWell not code.....But you will have heard of it. Remember the War of Jenkin's Ear? Well Ansom was sent with his 6 ships and crew of invalids and Chelsea Pensioners to disrupt Spanish trade and after Ansom got to Macau and refitted there in a last roll of the dice Ansom decided to sail to the Philippines where he caltured..........Our Lady of Covadonga
ПутешественникSpike thinks it is a retreat centre. Looks very like another he has seen
San Glorio
16 июня, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
It is called glorious.....and it was!
Potes
16 июня, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 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 июня, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 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
Путешественник3 days catch up done! After a very busy weekend time to look at your wonderful views. We managed one day trip up to some of this area from the coast, but nowhere near enough , so beautiful xxx
Catedral de los Peces
19 июня, Испания ⋅ ⛅ 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 июня, Испания ⋅ ☁️ 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 kmЧитать далее
Romanesque Church
19 июня, Испания ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
Built in the 12th century we found this little church in a village of 6 houses
Orbaneja de Castillo
20 июня, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 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 wasЧитать далее
ПутешественникWell, wherever you are travelling you always seem to find the most fascinating of places, so please keep it up for us back here xxx
The Stacks, Cantabria
20 июня, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
The subtitle should be.....where they make great beer!!!
ПутешественникGather thatchers is even better stuff on Facebook, better go and find it xx
St. John
24 июня, Испания ⋅ ☁️ 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 setЧитать далее
ПутешественникNo....this is probably the furthest east and now we will turn west and take the coast road. Weather has been very strange.....as I write we are in the middle of a big thunder storm with LOTS of rain.
ПутешественникStrange weather here too ... Thunder and hailstones this morning ..... In June??
Coral Cave
25 июня, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 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 thingЧитать далее
Suances
28 июня, Испания ⋅ ⛅ 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 thingЧитать далее
Over-Sold Waterfall
29 июня, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 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 июня, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 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 июня, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Everything is so, so green here and wet! There is so much water everywhere...like Scotland with sun.
Barcena Mayor
1 июля, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 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 ofЧитать далее
Cueva El Soplao
2 июля, Испания ⋅ ☁️ 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 timeЧитать далее
Santo Toribio de Liébana
3 июля, Испания ⋅ 🌩️ 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 ADЧитать далее
ПутешественникWe spent almost a whole summer trying to sail across Spain's north coast, and after a day of hard tacking, to get ashore and see the lovely churches and their history made my day
Pechón
5 июля, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Run up to the coast and along part of the Ruta del Carés which we couldn't walk because of Kari's on-going foot problem. The loveliness of this place just goes on and on
ПутешественникTony managed to find some beautiful coves, most of which the locals said they had never seen a yacht anchor in!
This is breathtaking stuff. The world is full of so much beauty. xx [Ali xx]
ПутешественникWhat happened? Hitch defective or human error?? Glad all safe... Never a dull moment with you guys 🤥
ПутешественникNever a dull moment! Is this another house hunt or just relief from the heat? xx
