Sun 22/05/16: Hopped on our bikes first thing or rather what is first thing in motorhome life after boiling kettles, juicing oranges and then doing ones ablutions which usually brings us to 11 before we actually get out and start whatever we are doing for the day. Which is no real problem as we have no schedule to meet. We wanted just to see a bit further down the valley before … [Read more...] about Cherries and Tripe
Vultures and Valleys
Sun 15/05/16: After an exciting night of taking the van apart to retrieve the mobile phone a morning of adventure began when David decided to blow up his bicycle tyre. How I hear you ask, well David does actually quite like blowing things up but that as they say is another story. To be fair to him he was just doing some maintenance on the bikes before we did a ride … [Read more...] about Vultures and Valleys
Liquid Gold………………….Lemons that is
Sun 08/05/16: And still it rained during the night and into to the morning with no let-up according to the weather channels. We could not stay in any longer without the high certainty of murder between us and so seeing a brief window of opportunity the bikes were taken down and made ready with the encouragement of a visit to a golf course for David we headed off, … [Read more...] about Liquid Gold………………….Lemons that is
This little piggy went to market……
And never came back again! Mon 02/05/16: Headed back home to Spain after our short ‘holiday’ in Portugal making a lovely if not slightly long drive down and across country. So far south in fact that we were just 40k’s short of Seville again. In fact given the weather that was ahead of us a trip further south might have been a good idea, but No we headed on to our town of … [Read more...] about This little piggy went to market……
Foreign Muck!!
Sun 24/04/16: So what could be finer than starting your Sunday with eggs and bacon, well for me anyway for David a bacon roll and then a long walk in the National Park Cabaneros. This is a small park just down from Toledo and a lot of its visitors are from there at the weekend. We opted to do a walk up the nearby mountain as recommended by the waiter, checking out … [Read more...] about Foreign Muck!!
I ‘KID’ you not
Sun 17/04/16: Albarracin and another Spanish Bonita town and it is. Different again to the white pueblos and also to Morella where we just left which was hilltop and standing proud repelling all borders. Albarracin is tucked into the hillside with a steep incline still. It is very much a hobbly goblin village with small paths, tiny doors and turns and you expect elf’s and such … [Read more...] about I ‘KID’ you not
Cheese Gromit!!
Sun 10/04/16: Back on the coast and after one night in a fairly industrial camping site in Benicasim we moved on about 15k’s up the road to Oropesa del Mar and a much smaller site on the sea front. Way less industrial we thought and the site much smaller and hands on. Oddly having said about camp sites and how wonderful they are in my ‘3 months on’ blog I failed to mention that … [Read more...] about Cheese Gromit!!
Working Girl Oranges
Sun 03/04/16: Valencia beach and a paella planned. We headed off to the playa with a plan to cycle along the prom beforehand and work up an appetite. However, when we asked the very helpful girl at the camp reception how to get to the beach, could we cycle all the way there or perhaps into main Valencia and then along the city cycle routes. I’m not entirely sure … [Read more...] about Working Girl Oranges
