Albarracin After departing Valencia, we set off towards France our first stop being one of the most beautiful villages in Spain Albarracin, we had been before and had fond memories of it.

Only Fools and Horses
A to V, Alberca to Valencia. West to East. 4 stopovers, 650k’s covered. Rain to sun. I meal out, 1 takeaway and a good few tapa’s taken.

Weather to Travel, Bike Repairs and the Magic of Nature
Bike Issues Strike Again Merida was lovely and we were able to dodge the rain that is falling here in Spain most of the time. Our regret to have left Portugal and it’s still abundant sunshine has subsided, and set off further north to Plasencia where we had booked Karen’s bike in for yet another repair. This time the speed sensor had broken. Have to say … [Read more...] about Weather to Travel, Bike Repairs and the Magic of Nature

Costa Fortune?
Monday morning saw us up and out heading to another one of Gaudi's more prolific works -Park Guell. This time we had booked our slot to avoid failure and disappointment as happened on Saturday. It did not disappoint, but yet again lead me, more than David wondering just how much 'stuff' could that man have produced in his time on this planet. Or did he have a band of merry … [Read more...] about Costa Fortune?
When The Boat Comes In
And thankfully it did in Barcelona with marginally less chaos than we boarded with in Genoa. That was a complete revelation and we have done a few ferry journeys over the years. Accident/traffic jam on the route in -no surprise there, and then complete lack of signage anywhere at the port other than the boat/car symbol which we duly followed. Piece of paper and … [Read more...] about When The Boat Comes In
