Very eroded by the passage of time

 Today is a rare day,  We are retracing our steps.   We didn’t look at the car park’s review.  Gerd is only three star happiness.  ‘As a foreigner it is a bit ridiculous as this is UNESCO World heritage and receives funding from international level...but not even a description in English exists. What do these dots mean on the wall ?  A bit crazy as well, the guide talks in Spanish ends...and ask are there any questions? But don't hesitate to ask a question.’  To be honest, the people we spoke to there were a bit miffed that some visitors expected everything to be in English.






Fancy a Mexican?  Mama Pancha’s Cantina Maxicana has a menu but it is not available to my attempts to open it.    Two days ago Arkaitz declared ‘Very nice decorated place, friendly staff and great food.

-Mama Pancha Nachos of 10.

-Golden tacos.

- Chicken burrito.


Everything exquisite. We will return without a doubt!




Fidel was equally impressed.  ‘We went for dinner on Saturday The food, everything I ordered was very good, the treatment of the waitresses was excellent. Highly recommended place. We will return.’






Walking down the Rio Pas, we will pass several fishing places.  Oscar reckoned, of the Coto de Covachon that ‘Possibly the best salmon farm in Cantabria, or at least the most recognized by fishermen.  The area is very nice to take a walk, Puente Viesgo, it is very beautiful, in the river you can see those rocks already very eroded by the passage of time that give a truly impressive appearance to certain areas of the river.  Besides, the Pas greenway that crosses it, and a walk if you are not going to fish, guaranteed.





Tomorrow we will push on to Santander.

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...
