The straight road to... happy furniture

 We are on one of those roads which are well ordered and straight, with trees lined up to shield the motorist. Off it are a constant parade of discreetly sited businesses along the way into Melide. Eypar is an example, A clean cut building they will supply your office needs. https://eypar.com/



 The only reviewer to leave a comment was Carlos. He said ‘Great advice for archival, library and museum equipment professionals.’



Further along is the Parrilada Ribeira Sacre Melide. Over 1000 people have reviewed it. On average it gets 4,2. The most recent was only three days ago, at the time of writing. Daniela said ‘It really was like finding a home after the road. They welcomed us with warmth and kindness. Exquisite food and affordable prices. Abundant portions. Grateful for having known this place and its beautiful people. The best for them always.’ Daniela had Patatas Fritas, Churrasco de Ternera Y Costillas de Cerdo.

Begona was looking for an experience different from than the one they got. ‘Take a beer and not a skewer. They don't make sandwiches or tapas. They do not give the option to have anything other than the menu of the day. As we leave they tell us that they have rations...ahhh and without being able to pay with a card. Here we don't come back’ The owner replied ‘We are very sorry, but we are not dedicated to pilgrims!!! Keep walking 3 more km and I am sure they will give you tapas without problems!!! And the portions we have are a la carte!!! This is not a tapas bar!! Finally we wish you a good journey!!!’




Enough of that. Muebles Paula offers furniture of joy and modernity. https://mueblespaula.com/

4.8 star average is doing jolly well for 50 reviews. A year ago Miriam said ‘Javier very friendly and professional, offering all possible solutions. After buying in other stores in the sector due to a change of address, I have returned here because it is the only company I know that always leaves everything perfect at home. They don't get everything dirty, they clean the remains of dust produced by the assembly, they are careful with the furniture they install and with the one you already have at home... I am always very happy when I buy here.’




We are going to take the old road to cross the River Furelos. Tomorrow, Melide.

Much a do about something

  In North Lincolnshire there is an OS square which is all but empty,  In a single corner stretches a few metres of power cables to spoil the virgin whiteness.  Today’s walk is not so blessed with flat calm.  We will see trees.  We will see ups.  Views are compulsory.  Houses aren’t.  Let's talk about Asturias in the years from 718 to 757. In 711 the full force of the Islamic tide swept from North Africa into Visigothic Spain. At the Battle of Guadalete King Roderic and much of the nobility were killed and the Iberian Peninsula collapsed before the all conquering crescent.  The thing is, Asturias is a long way from the main body of Spain. It is a bit wet and more to the point lacking the plunder which was the way of paying the Army of the Conquest.  The Caliphate’s hold on Asturias was tenuous to say the least.  Enter  Pelagius. Pelagius has many myths swirling around him and a very butch Victorian statue in Gijon.  Accord...

In which a Roman Bridge and a Funeral Parlour are reviewed.

  We are rising again. We are rising 20 of your earth metres today. We will be 818m above the level sea. We are about at the highest point in the Cheviot Hills. We cross the Rio Porma and into Villarente and Puente Villarente. Both these twin settlements, lurking along the roadside, have generally grown in size since 2000.   https://www.turismocastillayleon.com/en/art-culture-heritage/great-routes/way-saint-james/puente-villarente First we must cross the Roman Bridge. Coyotuco is back with a five star review: A beautiful BRIDGE with a lot of history but it is not PEDESTRIAN. For pedestrians they have made a PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY right next to it. We are passing by the Artesanias Luyma so let us gaze at their ceramic goodness. Let us wonder  https://www.artesaniasluyma.com/categorias/pereruela/ While we are here and we are passing the Tanatorio Camino de Santiago let us visit this 39 reviewed funeral home. It gets an average of 4.9 stars.  https://www.antamontalvo.es/esq...

Mini Pieces of Supposed tuna

  Pina de Ebro has something for everyone who enjoys the architecture of Spanish pueblos.  It has the tiny lanes, on which houses have been rebuilt for generations without a care for the needs of the modern motorist.  We have the pathways which have been tiled over but once were dirt tracks.  We have the modern suburban developments of low rise houses and 80s hopefully aspiring shacks.  First all, however, we have a park. One thing we noticed, especially with a small boy in tow, was the number of parks with interesting play equipment.  This is because, in Spain, people seem to like children.  This does make them a semi-public property and people feel free to indulge them with sweetmeats and pass comments. ‘I think sucking thumbs makes children look ugly’ said one elderly woman.’ My Spanish for ‘well desiccated prune face, no one asked you’ deserted me.  The play equipment is in the Plaza Pilarin Artigas.  Honestly I’ve looked and was giving u...
