He doesn't respond to messages

 Well, nicely recovered we are heading down with a capital Deeeeh!  Time to lose 412 of those metres in a single day - with a wrong turn at the end of it.  We will walk past the Cyclist Rest, a 4.8 star 5-reviewed sort of a gaff.  JF said, two years ago ‘I was with my bike by the zone and sadly my wheel broke, they fixed the problem there, they were very kind with me when I arrived honestly, thanks Cyclist Rest!’  More recently Luigo added ‘A basic stop with a great vibe, they have basic tools and spare parts in case you need them, as well as drinks and bars.




100% recommended for road, enduro, or downhill biking. Rosmen is a great instructor and guide. Ask about more accommodation services and recommendations.’






We may need a quick trim.  Barberia Jonay’s hair joint attracted my attention mainly because he said ‘Arrived at 5pm,only one customer and the barber said he couldn't give me a haircut because he closes at 7pm !!!!’  Somehow, you can’t help but being intrigued by that level of anti-capitalist spirit.  Kaili said ‘He doesn't respond to messages when I try to make an appointment.’  Four years ago Gregorio thought ‘He is a good, kind person, he is very willing to advise you and if he can, he will assist you as quickly as possible. I recommend it.’  I wonder what happened.






We are off down a road known only to the world of 2008 - when Streetview was young and inquisitive.  We will pass near the ruins of the church of San Joaquin.  238 people have reviewed.  The chapel dates back to 1796; has splendid views of the sea and has two parking spaces.  https://iglesiaslocales.com/iglesia-en-fasnia-ruinas-de-la-iglesia-de-san-joaquin-iglesia-vieja-27880




We will head all the way down, missing the turn and end the day face to face with a cleft in the rock and TF-1 going through it.

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...
