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もっと詳しく

A nice drive on empty roads from the bumpy roads of Spain to the better roads of Portugal. The weather started dry, we stopped and put up the hood just before the rain started which was on and off andもっと詳しく

We have arrived at my friend Verners house in the Algarve after well over 1600 miles, the place has a high percentage of British as it is half term. It feels nice to be able to relax and not thinkもっと詳しく
Hi Peter. My name is David Greig. I am a member of the MG T Reg and met you in Flanders this year whilst on your way South. I have My TD on the Portsmouth/Bilbao ferry Sept 14th this year and intend returning to the UK by road following your route South in reverse.
Tim PittHi Peter/Mandy, Congratulations on your trouble free trip. No surprise to me with all the preparations and checks made by Peter before departure. I have stayed in your part of Portugal on many occasions, playing golf. (I know you don't approve!) There is a huge fish restaurant in Lagos, just down the road from Praia da Lux facing the waterfront. I cannot recall it's name but it is a converted fish market, mostly frequented by the locals so relatively good value and well worth a try during your stay.

After a few relaxing and totally enjoyable days with my friend Verner it is time to set off home via a different route.
We stopped at Silves and walked up to the pretty castle. I got talking to aもっと詳しく
Angel From BelgiumHi Peterken and Mandy, I really think after such a trip you both deserve a 5 stars! Hope you had a good night sleep for a next day of adventure :-)

Tomorrow we reach the mountains, crossing near Pamplona not on main roads so it will be a challenge.
As I write we are experiencing a thunder storm so I hope it clears up overnight or we might stayもっと詳しく

Not as many miles as usual today because it was very twisty with many tight hair pin bends in the pyrenees. It started raining hard when we got about 3/4 way through so we stopped in a village andもっと詳しく
