The girls are attentive but Anton us displeased.

 The important thing, when you build a brand new motorway, is that you leave access for the criss cross of fields you have cut through on your way.  We will be following several of these as we go,  We will cross the Canal del Sedeny de pi.  I can find nothing out about it.



We have little to look at.  The Galp Service station comes in at 4.2 stars.  Anton was a little distracted when he wrote ‘On the night from 27.05 to 28.05, two smiles were left There were places at 21.00. There is a dirty, free toilet at the gas station. You can get water behind the gas station, from the tap. I don't know about the shower. The beach is 5.7 km away through tangerine plantations.’





Marisol was happier. ‘Very good service from the girls, very kind and attentive’




Luis was clearly won over.  ‘Good morning, excellent service from the girls who assisted me in the morning turbo, Isabel and Lorena, very attentive, friendly, providing the service as they should, I give them 10 Stars since I felt like they treat me at home, very good education, I congratulate them for more friendly employees, so galp’



Sez it Right, who prizes self worth over grammar, was down on the place. ‘Is this petrol station run by 2 ladies who act like laurel and Hardy? First half of the pumps are out of use, second the price is very expensive even for motorway fuel, then waiting for them to switch pump 4 on so I can fill u with fuel, in the end waited 15minutes and still no service. Drove off in the end with no fuel and came off at the next exit, where I spent 70 euros with a nice gentleman who greeted me with a smile, and was much cheaper. Avoid’



The layby next to it is not valued.  Kat said ‘It's enough to take a quick rest and go to the toilet. The rest of this rest area is very neglected, some of it even destroyed.’  Fernando was equally unamused ‘ncredible that at 10:00 p.m. they tell me that the shower is closed until the next day at 8:00... the showers are mainly used by the drivers and at that time many of us stop... I hope I never have the chance to spend the night here again... a disaster!!!’



Let us move on with all speed.

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...
