Milking the sunshine

The first whispers of morning begin at 6.44 with the beginning of Civil Twilight. Dawn occurs at 7.11 and the sun will be with us until 19.06 and Twilight end at 20.06. Yes, it is a slow news day. 




 We will trudge along the straight road towards the arroyo de Regallo. Google notes that Rinko the solar people have an office just to the north. The ‘don’t build on farm land’ minded have given reviews. Angel said ;It amazes me to see hectares and hectares of farmland on the banks of the Ebro full of solar panels as if in Spain we did not have desert places for this and leaving the fertile lands to grow food.’ This was three years ago. Four years ago David said ‘It is a great project with a promising future.'



 Google lists the Pawlak Rural Tourism as a place. I can’t see a thing amind the solar farms. It has a website. https://turismoruralpawlak.wixsite.com/website/sobre-nosotros



 It says Sástago, much to discover The company was created due to the bad situation that the town of Sástago is going through, due to the exponential loss of inhabitants and the closure of businesses that make it very difficult for the town to have a good economy. We take advantage of the surroundings of the town, which has a very large river area, as well as one of the largest mountain areas in the province of Zaragoza, to offer a series of activities and thus offer an experience in which the client has fun in a totally natural and rural environment. 



Let us descend into the valley. Streetview shows a summery small river muddling through a valley. The satellite view suggests it can be very different at times.

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...

  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...
