Plain Progress

 We are on that rarest of all things, a coastal plain in Northern Spain.  The N-634 sweeps along, a little in land, and on the side of it are no end of houses and flats clustering around the calle.  The Barreiros commune covers this area and Barreiros is the largest grouping of people therein - about 1000 people live here.



Time for a supermarket.  Gadis opens 9.30am to 2 and then again from 5 to 8.30 everyday but sunday.   https://www.gadis.es/receta/  I want on the website. It has pan-fried broccoli pizza  I thought I would share.

All recent reviews are five state until we go back 9 months and Sergio does not like the air conditioning - it is not enough.  https://www.cafebarmoderno.org/  Laura said ‘The experience has been super pleasant. The cozy place, a very familiar atmosphere. I will repeat for sure!’  Lloyd was less happy ‘Be careful with the freak! It was already 9:30 p.m. and we asked if there was anything to snack on and then he brought us two skewers of tortilla with filling, good but from midday. We didn't know if it was tapa or not. He insisted on bringing us something else and we finally said yes to some toast with bonito. Then he served them to us, they were good and homemade but one with a very small piece of bonito. We asked for the bill and he randomly told us €24!!!! As?!!!! We only had 20 in cash and you cannot pay by card. He did not accept the €20 and told us to spend another day to pay him. The guy has his charm but with these prices I won't return, well negotiate the bill yes.’






We end by a Ferreteria, Ferreteria Gasalla.  It averages 4.6.  Its reviewers are silent men who know what they want and do not want to waste time talking about it. Augustin broke the silence with this ‘He advises you very well, he is a good professional’  Why move on when you have ironmongery to look at. Lets stay here.

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...
