After spending 2 nights in London after my tour finished i flew to Valencia in Spain to meet up with Anna and Hez. We are spending 6 weeks driving and camping through Spain and Portugal in our brand spanking new peugeot 207. Valencia was my first stop, and it was good to see my old school mates again. We spent time in Valencia, checked out the Catedral de Valencia, went to the food markets and the beach and generally just walked around checking out the town. We had an awesome paella by Valencia´s main beach.

Next up we drove to Cuenca, after a little getting used to driving on the right side of the road. Cuenca has houses that are built into rock cliffs so that some of the veranda´s overhang. Its very cool. We then drove to Ciudad Encantada where we saw some amazing limestone structures that have been formed after millions of years of erosion.

Next we headed to Segovia purely because we got incredibly lost looking for a campsite in Madrid. so we decided to visit Segovia and try for madrid a day later. Segovia is a beautiful town. The old town is basically gated by

At the top of the cathedral
a giant aquaduct and has narrow, winding streets. We checked out the cathedral and saw the Alcazar which looks like an amazing old-age castle.
