San Vicente de la Barquera

I checked and it is not a fiesta in San Vicente but there is one hell of a noisy party going on in the square. It'll be earplugs tonight, even for me!

Anyway, today I have had the luck of walking through some great scenery and villages, and to end it in the inviting, if noisy, San Vicente is perfect.

Yesterday, I noticed the guy on reception was watching football on his phone so I got talking to him. His favourite teams are Barcelona and Liverpool so it was all good and it wasn't long before he offered to get the Wolves v Man City game for me on the screen he had behind his desk. So yesterday I sat at the reception desk, cold beer in hand, watching the game with a Spanish Liverpool fan. Fortunately he checked the guests in while I tried to keep a lid on it. Surreal but great fun.
