Clean

 Today we will once more test the notion that Asturias has but a few thoroughfares and so road, motorway and rail needs must squeeze through some tiny places. Hotel Villa Marron is early on in this trip. Its 3 stars comes with a swimming pool.  Alejandro clearly enjoyed himself a week ago ‘An excellent hotel and very well located close to all places of tourist interest. Excellent treatment from all the workers who strive to make your stay perfect. A clear example of how to do things.  Thank you so much’






The sudden arrival of the Playa de San Antolin de Bedon.  It sudders the lack of parking common with many northern plays.  Inaki said’I really love the beach but its free parking is conspicuous by its absence and it is a real shame. They even told us not to park in a place, because the police were issuing fines and it was a rural road, meaning in many festivals they allow parking on ditches and here you either pay or you end up with a fine…’









Our last visit is to the Night Club Samba. No website but a photo suggests that its aesthetics are internal.   A year ago Pobre had great fun with their reviews.  ‘A classic. Cleanliness, neatness and comfort come together in this establishment whose walls evoke the architecture of a Romanesque cathedral. It has two floors and a large parking lot, ideal for parking family cars or tractors. The staff is a salad of racial origins (mostly Eastern Europe, Colombia and Vietnam) which gives the place a certain international and cosmopolitan air, a certain aroma of universality, a certain elegance. The only downside is that it doesn't have an elevator.’  






Pedropb has also done one review.  ‘I really like this place, it's very clean’  Ioan said nothing but gave 5 stars.  This is the same verbiage as the other reviews.



In 2020 a Vox campaign car was photoed next to this house of affection - to the merriment of many.






Let us pass on and turn our thoughts to other matters and all matters Posada.

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...
