Scottish architecture

Spanish architecture

It was a slow day in toy town

When the boys arrived in Santander it became a bit more fun

We drank in la equina and played the kettles game

The kettles game involves going into an ironmongery shop with one euro and buying something useful

Natalia from la Equina was the judge... What a game and what a winner ...spreading the love always

Gijon looks lovely in the sun

So much to like about architecture in Spain

Jay has a better video when I drag one of the women up to dance

Great bar but sadly never got to see bernhard Alex and dietmar

Oviedo tonight but check this smoking shelter

The tree is growing out the centre and they have built the terrace around it!!

What a happy gang and thanks to Graham's wife for the ten cameras she snapped with!

250m from the cathedral you walk over this

Some tour guide me?!! I only just noticed this today

The best part of Santiago

I am often asked what it the best part of arriving

I sit and look at people at stare

That's me thinking but also a part!

Is it Ricky ticky tacky like my new shirt

Wandering around at 4am locked out of my lodgings

Drinking with the many flawed convicts

Or just chilling after a surreal 500 mile journey

Yeah many things

Music

Brecon gin!

Only the sound of pilgrims trudging

Walking beside motorway and airport but it's quiet !

After the airport...

Uncle Bulgaria in pedrouzo

The Sunshine band

Crossing the road in salceda

Sometimes it's better to take the bag off sit down and have a beer. This is a great place to stay if you like it quiet as its deserted and on a busy road

That's sounding like an oxymoron but trust me there's a lot of tranquillity here and the wifi is superb! I'm moving on another 7km to arca where the taxi boys have booked pension arca for me. 40€ each but I need a sleep after listening to the snory snorting boy for so long! I just hope my room ain't near his

Leprechaun hides behind big bear

Celtic Rangers alliance grows wings and fur

Super bar at airexe. We had three bottles of wine and the owner said

I've taken a few sunrises but this is amazing

Celta Venta in O'Cebreiro

Big horse bigger party!

It's a great twin room for €30 last stop in las Herrerias next stop ocebreiro

And the beds were great, another clean and friendly place. We love Spain

Casa del Leo in villafranca del bierzo

Brilliant hostal for 18 each - facilities are superb both kitchen table and those who like a TV lounge. It's off piste ie turn left along Estacion or Nuevo and after 400m it is across the busy road but it's worth it!!

The albergue Leo also got plus points from the locals

Slate from Spain - thanks Johnny
