Just north of Caceres

So today we left the Atlantic behind and headed on quite a long drive northwards on smaller roads, which are always more interesting. We saw industrial farming with cherry blossom, both pink and white, plus vast swathes of wise old olive trees right up to the horizon. There was some rain and even some bodies of water which were clearly flooded. Later we came through a rocky area with stone walls. For a moment I thought I was in Cumbria!
It was lovely to see sheep, cows, and the Iberian dark grey pigs, often grazing around fields of olive trees. Also eucalyptus and Cork bark Oak trees.
It's really hard to find any chances to pull off the roads. No laybys whatsoever, just exits to private dwellings / farms with big gates.
We even went to Portugal for just over an hour and stopped for a cuppa on the border. They were on Greenwich meantime, so we travelled back in time then leapt forward again once we hit Spain.
Tonight we are at a very quiet spot with two other campers at an abandoned railway station. Overlooking a lake.もっと詳しく
