We’ve got three weeks left before we have to catch the ferry home from Dieppe to Newhaven.We’ve worked a route out travelling through the interior of Spain to the Northern coast of Spain to San Sebastian. then up the west coast of France. We’ve had great time in Portugal we would like to stay longer but we have to make our way slowly back home. We’re in Isle de Cristina just over the border in Spain. The weather is improving its 20 ° today and forecast to stay good for the next 10 days ☀️.

Ayamonte is a beautiful little town, we enjoyed our day out on our bikes.  Isla Cristina is lovely town we’ve been before a few years ago we liked it so came again, we have got some chores done like washing cleaning the van inside and outside. We stayed on a very nice campsite looking over the nature reserve ten euros per day all in, and the weather forecast is good for the next twelve days.

Next up we have a plan, to cut across Spain and visit some of the beautiful towns, villages and mountain scenery in the interior of Spain. First up Seville, Cordoba, Ubeda, Albaceta, Tenuel, Zaragoza, Sarriguten near Pompaloma then on to San Sebastian.

Seville one of the most beautiful city’s in Spain we’ve been before but it’s certainly worthy of a second visit. Seville is the fourth largest city in Spain with a population of 700000, Seville has so much to offer like Architecture most of the building are fantastic the Cathedral is enormous  and it’s the resting place of Christopher Columbus. The home of flamingco dancing. So much history it would take at least 3 days to see it all. While we were there a festival was going on for a full week, lots of dancing and colourful costumes, it was fabulous.

Seville has so much to offer we could have stayed longer but we have to move on. Next stop Cordoba 90 miles away.

Cordoba population 336000 a city with lots of ancient history a mix of Moorish, Roman and Spanish culture. Cordoba is not as prestigious as Seville, its more like an old town with narrow streets we liked it maybe a bit better then Seville.🤔

Spain is full of Mosques and Cathedrals, Cordoba is no exception.  Only staying here one day we’re off to Ubeda a small to medium town across country through some beautiful scenery.

Ubeda high in the Andalusia mountains 800m giving it great views of the surrounding country side. A small town linked with another town called Baza.

Moving on now to Albaceta, Tenuel, Zaragoza, Pamplona,

First stop Albaceta a bit like a new town in the middle of Spain between Madrid and Mediterranean Sea, with a population of 174336 we had bicycle ride to the centre of city.

Next up Tenuel, Through the mountains of rock.

Fabulous historic building in Zaragoza it’s a big city and very lively, population of 783763. Definitely worth paying a visit has with all Spanish Towns it’s a city’s with lots of history. Thanks to Zaragoza for your hospitality 👍

We’re going to Pamplona next but the weather was not to good, so we stopped off at a town just outside Pamplona called Sarriguten. It rained that day so we stayed local we found a couple of bars and a small super market, we were surrounded by high-rise apartments. All very smart we stayed on a free aire with services. But we enjoyed staying local for a change. So we never went to Pamplona, never mind we have seen a lot of historical building for this holiday. Lol 🤣.

That’s all for now, next time we’ll be at San Sebastian our favourite seaside resort and a Journey through France to Dieppe to catch the ferry back to England and home to Hull. AU REVOIR. 👍😎😃. Hope you enjoyed our blog if so send us a comment and like it will be much appreciated. derekandpat.com x
