From our base at Benissa we dropped down the 850 feet on N332 racing the cyclists in a 60kph limit, sometimes losing !
We went to Calp. We left Calp. Definitely not for us. It was a city. We also wouldn't like Benidorm, it's just our preference, so we went along the road to Altea, where it was...
Marked on the map is the visitor centre. Should you decide to go here then make sure you use the road that starts at 37.622794 -0.753096. This road is fine if you do 20kph, it is significantly better than the way we took as we crossed from a mountain spring Fuente de los Buenos at 37.608737...
From our base at La Azohia it was turn right at the end of the road and first right. The road appears on the "dangerous roads" website but it's much more of a scenic drive. Motorhomes aren't allowed past the village so cycling motorbiking or, wo betide, walking from there. There were some PVCs...
From our base at La Azohia at a slanting car park without facilities we took the motorbike out to Bolnuevo.
Marked on the map is possibilty of a free stop.
We went past there up to the swing which was unfortunately dismantled.
A little further round you can cycle and walk but no vehicles which...
Many have been here before and will come again. It's a very spacious flat area for an innumerate number of motorhomes with water and dumps underneath the hilltop town just off the motorway. Police visit regularly and there are signs to obey about camping.
It is a constant but not debilitating...
It was on the moister side of damp today.
We went from Motilla del Palancar 15 or so kms to Alarcón. The road is straight and if there wasn't incessant rain, probably nice views.
This road deserves to be placed in the middle of Belgium. Absolutely horrendous. 30 mph at times, just awful. The...
We were intending to go to Albarracin, we knew it would cost us 14 euros but hey ho. We got to the aire having not seen the pretty side of Albarracin and it was a 12 foot fenced high area with some form of intercom entrance system and a couple of kms from the town. We decided that the better...
From our base at Teruel we took the motorbike to the other side of town about 12 Kms away to a car park, dumped the bike and followed the flat (apart from one bit) path up to the bottom of the dam.
The river was flowing quite fast and was obviously higher than it's normal level.
It's possible...
We parked at Ejulve with one other and wrapped up warm on the motorbike with thermals under jeans under motorbike gear. Snood and neck warmer, double gloves. There was a bitter Northerly wind. But we had bought these items so today was a good day to use them.
About 20 Kms from Ejulve are some...
You may want bear in mind the towns of Valderrobres and La Fresnada, which are both on the route Beceite and are the equivalent of Beaux villages. We didn't have enough time after the walk to see them but have vowed to return.
We went from Alcaniz on a motorbike. About 40 of the loveliest...
Originally we thought we might just do a daytime walk here on a rainy day. But the sun came out and we liked the look of it. So we have stopped for 2 nights. We could easily stop for another 2 but we will be returning so are leaving a couple of motorbike tours to Pretty villages (about 9 within...
Legs still needed a recovery from the walk yesterday so the motorbike was always coming out today from Barbastro.
A couple of waterfalls were noted and the town of Alquézar
We waited for the rain to cease about midday and just up the road was our first waterfall. About 200 yards from the main...
Woke up to find out we had run out of gas. It meant a change of plan as gas is a necessity for us.
6km up the road and 20 euros lighter, we learnt that gas only lasts a week in winter ! We also really ought to get our own adaptor as we keep flagging (successfully) in Spain.
Having moved, we...
Decisions decisions today. Rain forecast for later, so we moved early having done the ablutions then filling up at el Campo for 1.24 cents. 16 euros cheaper than France for 2/3 of a tank.
Smooth motorway all the way we ignored the sat nags final manoeuvre to get to a seriously rammed car park...
A fresh morning and a lazy one at that, until the next door neighbour started his motor at about 1000 hrs so we thought we could get the bike out of that garage without moving.
No such luck. He just turned his engine on
So a quick reverse of 2 metres then a search of a "new to me" app from...
We woke this morning at Jaca. It was chilly. We had planned on a lazy day and looked at the forecast and saw that Huesca was 5 degrees warmer, no chance of snow.
We decided a midday transfer so walked down the road to the riverside walk turning right enabling our boots to get muddy for the...
Woke up after incessant sleep interrupting overnight rain, still without a working water pump.
The plan on filling up with water and hitting the pump with a set of jaws failed as the water was turned off at Sant Amant
We chose an aire that did have water at Briand and filled up and hit the...
A travel day.
Left Pont de l'arche and as usual a change in mind as to which way to go.
We thought we would turn right at chartres and somehow bypassed Tours (not a bad thing from memory) and went cross country finding lunch at an aire at Reignac
We wanted to not drive in the dark and Vivonne...

We are 59 and nearing 58 and getting very close to early retirement which may come in the form of medical retirement as I have Cauda Equina and that causes back pain and prevents sitting upright or standing for about 10 minutes without immediate lieing down or walking or self physio.

Its Throunal time, A thread and a Journal. I write a sort of blog, load it up with photos, write a few words which may or may not assist somebody in the future when planning their holiday. Previous journals are in my signature of each post.

It is that time of year when we go on holiday and I do a journal. I call it a thrournal as I start with a journal and copy it into a thread. Hopefully others will do journals in the upcoming period as well. And the journal map is very helpful for holiday planning.
This holiday will be 28 days...
