... for GPS--made for exciting times. ["Paul, I think we're driving in a dried river bed....the road ended back there!"]
We made our way into the Picos de Europa, a beautiful national park with amazing mountains. The hotel we're in is nestled in a small valley with impressive mountains all around. The Christian part, a beautiful medieval-looking church sitting up high....and of course a ...
... to deliver Conrad's special delivery of two packages of Datil Daddy's beef jerky from home. Through perseverence with the security guard who didn't speak any English, Conrad understood that the mayor was out meeting a trade deligation from Angola but that her secretary would be there shortly.
We ate lunch on a bench outside while waiting. And then, an angel appeared, or more precisely ...
... the mountains following the river Cares. Although it is only possible to see the river occasional due to it being too far below the path it is possible to hear it. The walk is about 24 kilometers there and back. Approx 16 miles. We have never been on such a spectacular walk. The path clings to the cliff face hundreds of meters above the gorge and burrows through solid rock. It is very difficult to describe adequately.
Tomorrow 2 10 09 we move on.

... muy lejano ibamos a añorar en una larga madrugada.... Salimos a caminar un poco, encontramos arboles enanos sin hojas, estatuas de personas sentadas en un parque o como si caminaran junto a ti, un mercadi infestado de charcuterias que invitaban a darle una mordida a cada pierna de jamon serrano que se nos pusiera en frente. Despues de alucinarnos con todas las tiendas del mercado... X fin llego la hora de los churros deliciosos! Asi se nos paso nuestro primer dia "peninsular ...
Oviedo, Asturias, Spain and Canary Islands mispasosletiI really like the pension I've been staying at, Pension Roma - very comfortable and feels homey, kind of like your grandma's house, and the location can't be beat, only steps from all the action in the old town. I said goodbye and was off to the bus station - the first bus to Oviedo was sold out. I should have bought my ticket yesterday, as the later bus ended up being quite a bit more expensive. I finished off the ...
Oviedo, Asturias, Spain and Canary Islands pwong... de ahora,y Susana Viso.
Mientras resolvía estos últimos asuntos Amparo, Favila, Iñigo y Pablo están en casa terminando de hacer las maletas y ultimando detalles para poder salir hacia Bilbao. Donde recojeremos a nuestros compañeros de viaje y seguiremos hasta San Sebastian, donde visitaremos algunas cosas y luego terminaremos el día durmiendo en Irun.
... city of Austrias in Northern Spain. Cathedral of San Salvador is one of the unique architectural designs of the place. In Oviedo history, the city is designated as the center of an original and unique architectural expression, inheritor of Visigothic, Roman and Nordic traditions which was reach its high point during the reign of Ramiro I of Asturias. The cathedral of San ...
Oviedo, Asturias, Spain and Canary Islands antoniusestrillThis is my last trip in 2008. From Madrid, together with friends, we travelled almost 5 hours to the north coast of Spain - Asturias. This is the mountainous side of the Spanish region which somehow provides a different landscape of green, rocky mountains, valleys and delicious food!
Asturias, Spain and Canary Islands digitalexplorer... Once the fiesta ends the town returns to the Spanish. Or rather the Basques. Pamplona is in the province of Navarra, one of three Basque countries of northern Spain. This means you see a lot of red, white and green Basque flags, bilingual street signs and references to independence. You'll still feel you are in Spain, just don't tell the locals. It is a city with a calm elegance. Apart from the hordes of rollerbladers it lacks ...
