Oñati - 3 November 2018

Kay drove for about 3 hours from the plains up into the hills of the Basque region to Oñati. Sat and read our books in the sunshine watching the paragliders landing close by. Had a walk around the closed town and played a game of smile at the locals, nobody responded!

Burgos - 2 November 2018

Tried to get up a bit earlier to get on the in search of the 50amp fuse. By luck we found the said fuse at a closed motorhome dealer, he opened the door just for me! Had a good wander around Burgos with its huge cathedral and castle.

Dueñas - 1 November 2018

All Saints Day, aka everything closed. Luckily the fuel station was open otherwise we would have been staying put. Kay drove down the busy dual carriageway for nearly 2 hours to Dueñas, a small town compared with the big cities we’ve visited the last couple of days. Researching where we might find

Salamanca - 31 October 2018

40 minute walk on a cold morning to see the sights of Salamanca. So many buildings and plazas to see.

Salamanca - 30 October 2018

A day of rain, light and heavy. We stopped in a place just off the motorway for lunch before continuing on to Salamanca. Spent the rest of the day trying to use Kay’s data on her phone before it runs out on the 31st.

Cáceres - 29 October 2018

Kay drove along the scenic A road to Cáceres, very straight in sections. 3 hour walk around the historic old town and some of the modern city.

Badajoz, Spain - 28 October 2018

Had a fast scenic drive along the A road to Badajoz in Spain, bye bye Portugal. Tarmaced clean Aire right by the river and the foot bridge across the river. Walked around the historic town in sunshine, definitely autumnal weather now. Lots of history with information boards in English, well done B

Xinzo de Limia - 7 October 2018

We left cat city and drove to Xinzo, the Aire is a piece of land that was going to have flats but never got built. We’re the only Moho here so we did 2 loads of washing and cleaned the van. Quiet day doing chores.

Lugo to Chantada - 5 October 2018

Started getting the bikes out of the garage about 9 this morning and came in for my fleece immediately, it was 7°C! Rode up to the steep hill to the walled city and found the place almost deserted at 10 o’clock. It’s an 8 day festival at the moment called San Froilan. Kay drove to Chantada after

Ortiguero - 3 October 2018

Got the bikes out and rode to Gijon old town, had a look around and decided that was enough. Kay drove to the cliff top location at Ortiguero. Very windy from the East and we’re getting buffeted. The wind is meant to die down tonight hopefully. Had a walk down to the old fishing port, no boats,

Gijon - 2 October 2018

Decided we had enough of the Basque country and we would start making our way to Portugal. Gijon was about 3 hours drive down the motorway. Stopped off at San Vicente de la Barquea for fuel and decided it was such a nice place we stayed for lunch and managed to buy a Spanish sim card to get some d

Sopela - 1 October 2018

Went in search of gas and found it plus a Lidl, bonus. Went Sopela Aire after Co Pilot, once again tried to take us down ridiculous roads. Got there in the end. Nothing much doing here and the weather is decidedly rainy.

Bermeo - 30 September 2018

As we were next to the service station we upped left early and headed for Bermeo. Windy road again but a bit more room today. Had a walk about town during the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday are definitely social days here in north Spain.

Lekeitio - 29 September 2018

Once the Spanish had decided to stop chatting alongside our van we finally got to sleep. Drove along the coast road to Lekeitio, windy and narrow at times but interesting. Lunch out today and swim after to try and sober up.

Zumaia - 28 September 2018

Drove the 20 minutes along the coast to Zumaia. Rode our bikes through the town and onto the Itzurun beach with it’s fantastic cliffs. The rock formations are called the Flysch here and show about 50 million years of the earths geological history.

Zarautz- 27 September 2018

We left our very windy forest in search of the big smoke, San Sebastián. Arrived at the Aire and it’s closed, so where to now. Zarautz was plucked from the Aires book and off we went. Had a good day playing in the surf, walking and riding taking in the sights. Quick supermarket shop and we final

Errenteria (Spain) - 26 September 2018

Decided it was time to hit Spain. There was a free Aire just inside Spain in the hills and we thought we would start there. Didn’t bank on Co Pilot taking us up steep, single track concrete roads to a dead end. Found the right way in the end!
