Ola Bo & Dud, I forgot to tell you about something strange that I spotted en route to Fortuna. We left the motorway just after Murcia and immediately the scenery changed from being urbanized to rural countryside. Standing in the middle of nowhere was a young woman - low top and short skirt revealing more than enough of her body, and with knee high, black high heeled boots. As I was supposed to be helping look for camp site signs, I only caught a glimpse, but it struck me as being rather unusual. I suggested to Howard that this might be [View Full Entry]

Ola Bo & Dud Semana Santa - my Spanglish is coming along nicely!!

We stayed out on the coast at Sopelena and caught the metro in to the town. Further south we met a bit of drizzly snow and then rain popping in to Gernika, Zaragoza, Teruel and Almanza.
