Blackpool in the mountains

 We haven’t had any useful, yet trivial information for a while so let us see what ‘theculturetrip.com’ have to say about it.  Much of which you know already but here is a thing or two helpful things.




  • At 3,718 metres (12,198 feet) high, Mount Teide is taller than any of the mountains on the mainland, including the Pyrenees.

  • El Hierro, the smallest and most southernly of the islands sources most all of its power from wind, sun, and water.

  • The water in Lanzarote’s El Golfo crater glows green..Seawater trapped in the form of a lake has turned an acid green colour due to the algae which lives there. It also creates a particularly striking contrasts to the surrounding black volcanic rock of the Playa Charco de los Ciclos.





Time to push on.  I mentioned Blackpool the other day and you know what, here is the Blackpool Sports Bar. It has 4.8 stars from 24 reviews.   Tony Blackburn, I don’t think that one, said ‘Visited during the afternoon, limited but good snacks served efficiently. Great venue if you are into gaming machines. Popular with UK friends.’   The Yerar reckoned ‘I went to see a Champions League match and I have to say there's no better bar around. The place was very well-equipped, very comfortable, and the service was excellent. I'll definitely go to see other matches.’




We are passing Ecograss Cesped Artificial.  I am curious.  Let us pop in.   https://english.ecograss.es/  The do crazy golf courses.  Just Holiday Villas were impressed.  ‘We recently used Eco Grass Tenerife and were really impressed with the quality of their work. From the initial contact to the finished job, they were professional, efficient, and clearly take pride in what they do. The installation was completed to a very high standard, with great attention to detail throughout. The team arrived on time, worked neatly, and delivered exactly what was promised. The new grass has completely transformed the space and looks fantastic. Would highly recommend them to anyone considering artificial grass in Tenerife.

Let us push on and look back on the 140m we have risen.

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...
