    What a great drive!

    May 24, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    On the N625 through the mountains. We decided to point the car towards Portugal rather than go to Santiago de Compostela because the weather forecast thunder. As it turned out it was a lovely day and what a great drive. Take a look at the photos. Over 50 miles of sweeping bends and climbs and descents. I unleashed all of my 54 horse power. It took us around six hours to do 150 miles. We ended the day knocking on the door of a modern 4 Star hotel who gave us the room for 60 euros instead of the 77 pounds hotels.com wanted for the same place. Blubelle is in an underground car park which is good as the thunder storm is about to arrive. We had a lovely meal at a truckers restaurant across the road from the hotel. Two nice courses, a bottle of red wine, water and bread for 12 euros
    Addition from Mandy...The lake was out of this world beautiful...but has a sad story...7 villages lie under it _ the dam was constructed in the 80's and in the main town Riano the townspeople slept on their rooves to try and stop the demolition...sadly progress is always at a price...but the result is stunning,!

    I have just edited day seven adding links to videos of the musicians.
