Don't miss the two-textured ear


 We are crossing through the settlements on the plain.  We come first to Museros.  English wiki reports this [in total] ‘Museros is a municipality in the comarca of Horta Nord in the Valencian Community, Spain.’  Wiki in Spanish is more forthcoming.


Museros has about 6700 inhabitants and is 12m above sea level. It’s growth is much the same as other places we have been recently.  From 1979 to 1991 the place was a hold for the PSOE. The 90s saw the PP’s Jose Maria Aznar Monferrer in charge, He was ousted from 1999 to 2003 but returned till 2015.  Currently Cristina Civera Balaguer has been mayor since 2015.  The cabinet are from the PSOE, save for Beatriz Sanchez-Botello.  She oversees Ecological Transition and Responsible Consumption.



We will follow the long, straight road and come to Albalat dels Sorell. It has 4123 souls dwelling within.  It is irrigated by the Royal Moncada Canal. This was built in the Moorish period [11th century].  It takes water from the Tula river. Eels are begin to thrive in the canal.



We will end the day in the Bar Restaurante Centro.   https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bar-Centro/490367170995559?_rdr It has a facebook page which was last updated in 2019.  Today it poems from 5am to 3pm and 5pm to 1am.  It has over 1000 reviews.  Yesterday Adolfo said ‘Everything is very good, don't miss the two-textured ear and the fried cheese 🤤 …’  Mostly Juanmiguel thought they did ‘Authentic local lunches’  Gabriela stated ‘The curry chicken sandwich with fries is delicious🤤 ‘



Fortified we 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...

  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...
