• Belchite

    We left Miravet just after 8am and took a 100 mile drive to our next location. Belchite.
    This town is where the American troops were based before heading to Corbera D’ebre for the battle of Ebre and is another bombed out town left as a memorial.
    Belchite has a beautiful Motorhome area and we parked next to a British couple and as soon as we had parked they came over to tell us that Belchite was closed for a month from the 15th October to 15th November. I have to admit that in all of my research I didn’t realise it had opening times and we would need tickets.
    We had lunch and then took a stroll upto the old town remains where there was a path all the way around the edge and in actual fact it was probably a better view than had we been inside the town because now we had an overall view.
    At the end of the walk we passed by the front of the town and spoke to one of the riggers and asked her what they were filming and she told us it was the walking dead so we can forgive them and I’ll be looking out for Belchite in the new season.
    Then we headed back to Wanda and I took my bike out down one of the gravel routes for an hour to wear myself out before bedtime.
