Spain, land of three story blocks of flats surrounded by countryside.

 Spain, land of three story blocks of flats surrounded by countryside. We are almost out of town so lets pop into the restaurant Parrillada O Tio Pepe - opened 7am to 9pm everyday except Saturday. https://www.otiopepe.es/



Looking at the website they cook meat. If you like looking at pictures of food this is the site for you. The place averages 4.3 stars, not bad from almost 400 reviews. Two months ago francomachineSA wrote ‘A great place to eat with the family, spacious and modern. Abundant and at the same time quality food, your body always asks for more of these delicacies, it's always nice to be served so well



I am going to bow to popular demands. Too long we have not been to a computer shop and so I will visit Nort Informatica and its 4.9 computer services. Juan Ramon said ‘You couldn't ask for more, professionalism and excellent service.’ Maria reckons ‘I went to this store with a problem with my computer and the solution was immediate. Not only did they solve my problem but they also improved the performance of my equipment. Fast and super efficient service. Ten customer service. Without a doubt, I recommend it 100%’


We are moving on and into the countryside. We end near the Casa Molino de Cerceda. https://molinodcerceda.com/


 It comes with this warning:

IMPORTANT!!! Pets are allowed and there is a CAT in the house (when clients come we take her with us), although we vacuum regularly it is possible that allergies may occur.

On the other hand, we also want to warn you that it is very possible to find SPIDERS, small frogs, some lizards, some amphibians and other typical fauna of the Galician mountains INSIDE THE HOUSE . Even if we tried to eliminate them, it would be impossible and our policy is not to kill local fauna whenever we can avoid it. For those who know something about mountains and fauna, they know that a spider web is made in one night, IT IS NOT LACK OF CLEANLINESS.


You have been warned.

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...
