I've fulfilled one of my dreams

 We are heading up the hill towards Guaza. Guaza has a market.

Guaza is essentially a street with lots of shops and few houses nearby.  We might as well look at some of them.



Bazar Boukaddor sells clothes. It has now reviews and so really doesn’t exist at all.



Motos Speed Garage Tenerife has 7 reviews and gets a Five.   Lachi said a week ago ‘I'm really happy and I've fulfilled one of my dreams.’  Who are we to pry further.



Rotulos Sur is a sign shop.  Five stars, 3 reviews.   Janis was fulsome.  ‘A month spent on signs in my town and it seemed like a world of effort to make a 30x42 poster and a month for a budget that never arrived.  So I called Rotulos Sur and was delighted. In one day I had the design and budget and the next day it was being sent to my home by parcel and with chrome dividers. The design was done so quickly.  Well, everything was extremely fast. I loved the sign. From the moment I called him until I hung up my sign, only 3 days passed. Thank you very much Manuel.’



La casa de la cartera has a single, but five star, review.  Estenfany gives it five but no words.  Apparently it is LGBTQ+ friendly.



To the market, or fleamarket really.  It is tucked off the main drag, with its own enclosure.  Can I say I wanted to buy things.  I really did.  Had a car instead of hand luggage I might have. It has lots and lots of stalls.  Some sell New Age Tat and Rubbish, some felt-mousey craft.  Lots have the sort of things that will be vintage one day. I had a nice coffee and bought some paella spice and that was it.


Lets have some reviews.  Let us go low first of all.



Six days ago Carol was not impressed.  ‘Uffff, I didn't like it at all.

We went for nothing, everything was wasted...



The only stall we shopped at was a small one that had necklaces and various other very pretty, clean things.

And another one that had everything military.

Will we go back? I doubt it.’


Three weeks ago Neven thought ‘The market is clean, there are two cafes, the restrooms are also clean, overall it's a good place to shop.’



Ana liked it ‘Great vibes all around! Music, positive energy, and friendly people everywhere. Prices are super affordable, ranging from just €1 to €15. In the center of the market, you can grab some refreshments like beer, coffee, pizza, and snacks. Definitely worth a visit!


We will nip over the fence, back to the TF-66 and head on our way.

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...
