Big, clean, in shade, unusual items

 A quick dash before we come to the end of a day.

The Playa de Torreblanca is before us. It is a 4.5 star beach.  Three months ago Marie said ‘Good beach. A lot of sea shells. Public bathroom in good condition’

We are in the land of places to eat and buy beachwear.  Restaurant Lemon has 236 reviews from 4.8 stars.  Yesterday Andrew reckoned ‘Outstanding main course, spiced authentically Lebanesse.’


Momag Burgers and Gin https://www.momagburgers.com/menu  Three months ago ioan said ‘We had the best burger in a while..! Fresh and very tasty, also great portion. We did had to wait until we were served the food, as it seemed to be only one person to cook, but it was worth the wait. Not very spacious, a few tables, that’s why it might be possible that you have to wait a while before getting a table!’



We are about to head inland. We will do by Castillo Sohail.  https://turismo.fuengirola.es/que-ver/patrimonio-historico/  It is a solid construction and has generally been the sort of place people hang around, from Punics to pretty much everyone.  The website has some nice pics. It was fortified in the 10th century Caliphate and updated by the Almoravids in the 12th.  It was taken by the Castilians in 1485.  29 minutes ago Mario was economical with his review.  ‘A very interesting fortress. A lot is explained there as well.’




We end near Parque infantil cerrado del aguila - or so says Google.  A year ago Barbara wrote ‘great new children playground. Big, clean, in shade, unusual items. For bigger as well as yonger children. First part is for older, second area is for yonger. Outdoor gym included. Benches in shade for relax. Drinking fontain included. Excelent 🤩 …’’

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...

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...

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...
