The roads of several times

Casablanca Beach is what we are walking alongside today.  It is 2.6km long and has a website.  https://www.comunitatvalenciana.com/en/castello-castellon/almenara/beaches/casablanca-beach  I mention this because today we will be running along the back of somewhere with a great name but is really only a place that exists to be near a salty water experience.



Inland is well watered and we will cross several canalised rivers.  Near one is a bird watching observatory which gets a 4,7,  Writercas said ‘Careful and organized... One of the few places that is worth it is this area that I have visited.




  As we run along the back of the development we will pass the Camping site.  Two months ago Teresa said ‘Private campsite. Very organized and clean.’  I have to say, when two people gave one star reviews they really went for it.  Lourdes wrote ‘A place where I left full of mosquito bites, there are mice and decorated rats  It's not just any campsite, a campsite is a place where four pigs take advantage of themselves 🐖 the one with the motorcycle and the BMW on top of that have a civil servant's salary as much as a dog works 🐕



This is a place where there are shanties to see who can make it prettier but at the end of the day they are shanties. People who cannot afford an apartment or a chalet and rent a small piece of land there Where one of the 🐷s watch you if you bring puppies, be careful because with those 🐖 they don't get along with the furry ones who have more education than them 🐷that with the weather in Almenara any day they fly away with someone inside.’





As ever, all reviews are not verified.  You need to go there now to find the truth of it.



We will now enter a mystery  We start in 2014 on a road which feels to have been built before the development was constructed and a new road made.  Suddenly a barrier appears on the road.  Then streetview vanishes.  Finally the road returns, in 2008.  So we come to the end.

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...
