The Uncertain Future of the Progressive Ruin

 It seems like the sort of day where most of the excitement is happening just off the road- and that excitement is fairly limited. We will see farms old [and abandoned] and new and some stuff.



One such excitement is the Castillo de Guadalerzas.  It gets 3.9 stars from a hungry public, which seems a bit harsh for a ruin. Dimitri probably says why ‘Nice view but you cannot reach it. On private land’.  Fran is equally gloomy. ‘Its future is uncertain; it's completely abandoned. Even so, its exterior structure is well preserved. Access requires crossing private property. Beware of cattle. ‘  Jose says ‘Guadalerzas Castle, a castle located about 18 kilometers from Los Yebenez, a defensive castle that was used as a hospital for centuries, dates back to the 12th century, it was built on the ruins of a Muslim fortress, it is currently in progressive ruin, it can be visited although it is on private land. ‘  This didn’t seem to stop a group of chaps on motorbikes.




Tour east are both the old Camino Real de Sevilla and the Old railway line. Neither gets much  of a write up.




We will pass a deserted farm.  Ada gave it two stars but didn’t say why.






That’s it for today.

A different rooster would crow

  We are pottering along at 91m but will be a mere two by the day’s end.   We are heading for San Vicente de la Barquera. It is one of those places, on a hostile coast, which provided a safer shelter.  As a consequence it got a castle. The place did the usual having Bronze Age chaps loafing about. The Romans made a small port.  It really got going when Alfonso I sent peoples to populate it in the 8th century. The castle was built, the town followed.  Things really got going in 1210 when Alfonso VIII gave the place a charter.  It got the same privileges as San Sebastian. Castro Urdiales, Santander and Laredo.  Along with Laredo, it has not prospered as much.  Fate was not kind.  From the mid 15th century, fires and plagues did not help.  When Charles I visited the town a bullfight was held in his honour.  He fell it at it and had to spend the night at the Convent of San Luis.  The town has a website.  https://aytosanvicente...

Life in the Socialist Citadel

  We are wandering a bit around tracks that are not in the ken of streetview. El Burgo Ranero is one of those places with newly kempt squares and tidy houses next to wastes and scrubs. It always struck me with Spain they had so much land they could afford to be a little cavalier with its use. The tidying up has started but is never in control. El Burgo Ranero has 841 or 647 inhabitants [depends on which nations wiki pages you go on, a flag which announces it is on the camino and a website.  https://www.aytoelburgoranero.es/  It is under the thrall of the PSOE. I must admit, as a humble Deputy Chair of a Parish Council I really like the fact their town council has a Mayor-President, a 1st Deputy Mayor, a second Deputy Mayor and a single ‘Councillor’ from the the PSOE. They also have two Popular Party councillors and one from the UPL. We start near the train station. Jose Manuel Martinez Gil is not a fan. ‘Bad, in poor condition, with terrible parking, and it is not in the ...

The Frontier is marked

  It is Twelfth Night but who needs to know this. Tomorrow is the key day for us i Spain.  Let us head one towards the Murcian border.  The road is a bit similar. It does feel like a 70s cartoon, where Scooby runs down a corridor which is eerily the same. We will pass the Univeridad Miguel Hernandez.  A week ago Valor wrote ‘ It's okay, a bit old-fashioned but a good place to study for a degree’.  Time to move on. What every University needs is an expresso bar.  Planta Baja fulfils that need. Fernando felt ‘A very cozy place with very friendly staff. If you like darts, this is the place for you. Great coffee and great cocktails. 100% recommended.’ and why not. Well, we have been building up to Murcia for sometime and now we are here.  To be honest, I was expecting a sign. I wasn’t expecting a couple of columns.  This is what we want!  Let every land connection between Suffolk and Essex be bestowed with pillars.  May any bridge which join...
