Leaving mythical Zaragoza behind we were soon on the highway heading north east towards our next stop Leon. My wonderment at Spain pitched up a level with the increasing profusion of wind farms. The Spanish are quite proud of their wind farms. Why else would they have so many? The prevailing strong winds which sweep […]
By now my plans, spells, whatever have legendary status in both the practical planning and arcane realms. Sometimes the sequence is wrong and the timing out of kilter. But for the most part they are stunning successes. Take for example my Spanish domination plan written back in June. It is pretty much what happened, minus […]
Leaving the perpetually bustling Barcelona behind we were soon tuned into the very comforting and simultaneously out of place Billy Connolly barking orders on our TomTom. Having no preconceptions of what to expect, what followed was fascinating. El Fuerte and Google both agreed the first night stop over was to be the unique sounding Zaragoza. […]
Our trip into mainland Spain officially began last Saturday. It has become blindingly apparent that a week here is going to go very quickly.

Landing back in the land of warm beer, inventive pub names and inclement weather was not shocking. More of a gentle nudge into reality. The scenery around the East Midlands airport was very Christchurchish. The air on exiting the plane was relatively bracing and we soon joined the trudge of Ibiza dazed souls towards immigration. […]
Our trip to Ibiza was an Odyssey, I realised this on Thursday morning when we discovered we had missed our return flight. A truly mythical miss hap, exhausted by days of dancing with exotic sirens and slumbering after a poolside lotus infused cocktail drinking session. I began to wonder if we would ever be able […]
Well since I last left you, Anna and I have fallen into a very comfortable routine. We have been out every second night. The next days we have been making impassioned calls home, lying in the sun and sleeping. The most challenging things we have done during this time has been walking to get food […]
