Well we started early from Toledo just as the police were towing cars away from our parking space. I think ours was next!!? Anyway we hit the road and thought we would try and get to the north coast of Spain at Gijón which was a tall order at 350 miles but it was a plan. We drove through towns villages and cities, Avila, Salamanca, Zamora, Benavente, Leon, Oviedo and finally landed at Gijón. What a journey. I think we saw all landscapes, plains that stretched as far as the eye could see in all directions, mountains with pure white snow caps, valleys lush and green and canyons of rock. There were lakes and rivers, forests, brush land and agricultural land that sometimes looked like the plains of America. Some of the places reminded us of the Serengeti not that we’ve been there but in our minds!!!
Arrived in Gijón and toured through the city looking for accommodation but it felt busy and bland so we came along the coast and located an hotel and spa, just what three blokes need after a hard days ride!
