very Important for unfolding luggage

 We are following the track which runs alongside the A-23.  The N-234 is the other side of the road. Streetview will not be between them. We will be well away from the way of the railway - no Watford Gap of this.  We have nothing to review here.



I am always a little cagey about Google Reviews. They are not peer reviewed.  They are made by people.  People can be glorious and wish to please. I suspect some five stars were really four but, well, you know. Some people are only members of humanity by proxy and missed out on the empathy bit, which I really think is essential to the entry ticket.  Everyone has bad days. The internet inscribed forever as truth the quickly penned feelings of the moment.  To this end I will share with you the most recent two reviews of the Hotel Area de Javalambre - which we will gaze on across the motorway.



Jdcv said, 13 hours a go.  ‘A good place to stop off along the way.


In my case, we stayed on a road trip with two motorcycles.


The double room was spacious, very important for unfolding luggage, helmets, clothing, etc. The bathroom was full, but the only drawback was the shower screen, which didn't do its job of stopping the water due to its size. The beds were neither good nor bad, but adequate for a night (that's a matter of taste). The dinner service was very good, with a very good menu for €14. The breakfast was quite good, with a bit of everything to recharge your batteries before setting off/I recommend a visit, whether for lunch or a drink, or to rest.




A week ago Luis said ‘I have never seen a hotel so dysfunctional in my life. You enter through the cafeteria and you cannot go to the hotel if you do not check in personally. Before us there were four cyclists who spent 20 minutes doing self-checking. Then the first thing the machine asks me is the reservation number. I had to go to the car to get her. Then it asks you for countless information to finally give you a card to go up to the assigned room. In the morning when I went down to breakfast and came back the card didn't work. In short, totally dysfunctional. I don't recommend it to anyone’



How can we tell without going ourselves.


The place is a three star gaff.  It seems about 46 euros a night. Check in and out time is 2pm.  It has a website.  https://www.hotelpuertadejavalambre.es/?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=google-my-business&utm_term=google-local 



We will not be staying because we must push on.

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...
