This morning it was time to be on the road again so we used the campsite services and hit the road. However we were completely out of fresh supplies so we needed to stop into El Rocio to a supermarket that had been recommended there. So we got to use our nice big tyres onContinue reading “Christopher Columbus explorations – La Rabida, Andalusia, Spain”

Today I was booked in for a 2 hour trail around El Rocio and Doñana National Park. The time had thankfully been forward an hour to 11am so less time in the height of the sunshine. Thankfully the stables were only a 15 minute walk from the campsite so we all walked round to theContinue reading “Cowboy time, horse trails in – El Rocio, Andalusia. Spain”

Lizzy was bright as a button this morning, tail wagging non-stop on our short walk. She seems to have a thing about wearing clothes, she does a little dance at home when I put her in a towelling robe to dry off after a rainy walk. Consequently she seems positively giddy to be wearing herContinue reading “On the road again…back in Spain! – El Rocio, Andalusia, Spain”

The day started grey and wet again. We waited for a break in the showers to take the dogs to the beach. We managed to get to the end of the boardwalk and Lola had found herself a lovely stick and it started to hammer down so we had to retreat back rapidly. So theContinue reading “Epic lunch and rugby – Sanxenxo, Galicia, Spain”

We woke up this morning to more rain making forays between showers for dog walking and tank emptying so we could get on the road. The weather forecast suggests we are not the only ones. The large blue low pressure zone extends most of the way across Spain and northern Portugal with Madrid 5 degreesContinue reading “Rain Stops Play – Sanxenxo, Gailicia, Spain”

This morning, we tried to start with some fun on the little locals beach below the campsite between rain showers. however it was high tide. So back to the van for breakfast before a bit of Spanish lessons with a cuppa. We then set off to walk (the very last part of) the Camino deContinue reading “Walking the Camino de Santiago – Fisterre, Galicia, Spain”

Today’s morning walk in A Coruña, took us down the long breakwater which protects A Coruña harbour and down memory lane as it the very clear memory we both have of our previous visit by boat in 2008 is walking to the end. It is an impressive over 1.5 mile round walk to the endContinue reading “And now the Shipping Forecast, issued by the Met Office – Fisterre, Galicia, Spain”

Last night we thought we might explore the Old Town which is behind the marina for a beer. We wondered through the narrow cobbled streets passed a couple of quiet places. Then we happened upon a butcher / deli / bar which was buzzing. It was like stepping back in time, all across the sellingContinue reading “Retracing our Sailing Route – A Coruña, Galicia, Spain”

Today started early with another run for Lola. Lizzy and I to reconnoiter the Roman wall around the old town. We attempted to run around the inside of the wall however there are many buildings built against the wall and not a clear walkway. So we dived down alleyways, popped out of some of theContinue reading “Walking the wall and Crossing the Line – A Coruña, Galicia, Spain”

We have arrived in our third Spanish Province, home of Kevin’s new favourite beer Estrella Galicia Especial 1906, so things are looking good 😀. The morning started misty and murky on the shores of Gijón, so I decided it would be a good cool time for a run with the dogs along the level seafrontContinue reading “Walled Roman delights – Lugo, Galicia, Spain”
