A British Response to a lack of reviews

 We are heading west, along the CA-9207. There is nothing to appreciate other than the views of green and rolling countryside - which is nice - but we crave more.

We are heading for Cadiz - pronounced Cardiff.  We are leaving the the Med and heading for the Atlantic. The weather will change and as we are heading for Cordoba some time, let's see the difference.

In May Cadiz averages 19oc, ranging from 16-22oC. You get 12 hours of sunshine and 26.9mm rain over 3 days. Cordoba offers us 19oC on average as well, but ranges from 12-16oC and gets 30mm of rain over 6 days. 


 In terms of rain , Cadiz is the wetter.  Come October Cadiz will get 67.3mm of rain a month.  This rises to 97.7mm in November, almost the same in December, before falling back to 69mm in January, 58.5mm in February and then down to 27mm in May, 6.7mm in June and 0.2mm in July before very gradually picking up till September, after which it increases notably.


Cordoban rain falls in 60mm amounts in October.  100mm comes in November, 70 in December, 60mm in January, 50mm in February, 40mm in March , 20mm in June, 10mm in July and 10mm in August. 


Cadiz averages peak in August, with 24oC. It then slips to 23oC in September and creeps down to 16oC in November. January sees the lowest average, of 13oC.  Things improve till in May we are at 19oC, 22 in June and 24oC in July.

Inland Cordoba averages 27oC in August, as it does in July. In September it falls to 25oC, 18 in October, 10oC in December, 9oC in January after which is rises slowly to 15oC in April and 24oC in June.


So, that’s it. More tomorrow.

  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...

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...
