The security staff were extremely polite

 Well, after days of urban splendour and museums by the score we are going along big roads out of town and industrial subunits - which are by the sea.




First let us pop into the Centro Internacional de Ferias y Congresos de Tenerife.   https://recintoferialdetenerife.com/  We are here during Adimaker.  https://adimaker.es/   Adimaker´25, feria de impresión 3D,dirigida al público y profesionales del sector the website says. Cosplayers will be there.




Time to party like is it is 1917.  Well, like 2025 - 1917 are the number of reviews Bambu Lounge Bar Tenerife.  It has a ‘fashionable rooftop terrace’, according to Google. Plus a karaoke room and VIP area.   http://www.bambulounge.es/  Yesterday Nikole was impressed ‘Spectacular!! Aima, Verónica, and Jason, brilliant!!! The security staff were extremely polite, and the music... fantastic DJ!! We'll definitely come back!!! We came from Bilbao, the best club on the island so far.’




Where does Tenerife get its water from? You are not the first people to wonder this.  https://canariasacross.com/islands/tenerife/exploring-the-sources-of-tenerifes-water-supply  Apparently it is from the sea.  We are passing the Balten water treatment plant.  https://www.balten.es/  It has two reviews.  Seven years ago Pablo gave it a star.  Five years ago Jorge gave them five.  Who can say?




We end the day at Mercatenerife - the fruit and veg wholesaler.    https://mercatenerife.com/  Adrian was fulsome three weeks ago.  ‘A place to buy in bulk. I noticed some spoiled fruit in the aisles. I guess they don't sell that stuff secretly. You have to get there early to get proper service. The parking lot is quite spacious. If you own a restaurant or are someone who buys in bulk, this is the place for you.’  



So we end another day and by day’s end I mean sunset at 20.26; civil twilight at 20.50 and nautical twilight at 21.18.

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...
