I had a request not too long ago to include a map of our route when I post and thought that this was a good idea. It took me a little time to figure out how best to manage it and think I have found a solution. Starting with today’s earlier post (Lisbon to Seville) […]
The drive from Lisbon to Sevilla (Seville) took about five hours, one hour longer than if we had used the toll roads. While not a difficult drive, particularly as much of it was on two lane highways out in the country, it was still a bit tiring. We arrived at Camping Villsom and by the […]
Following the routine that we’d established earlier, our plan for the next couple of days would be to try to get a couple of bike rides in before we left for Sevilla. We arose the morning of the 18th and set out just before noon intending to find a rumored bike path down to the […]
Our second day in camp would bring another trip into Lisbon for sightseeing. When you are traveling like we are, there is a rhythm to each town. You arrive in camp and set up, becoming familiar with its features. Your first foray into town is full of uncertainty, not knowing where the bus will take […]
With just a few hours of driving ahead of us, I took the wheel for the journey. We decided to give the toll roads a chance, mainly to save time, and to see if Portuguese law enforcement was on the lookout for us. The drive went smoothly, passing through two manned toll stations, both of […]
A nice morning greeted us and we made our way into Porto on the bus with a full schedule of sightseeing on the agenda. As had been, and would be the case in the future, the bus stop was not far from the campground providing a ride into town, about 20 minutes with a final […]
We broke camp at Cancelas and with a somewhat short drive to Porto, decided to try to find out what those interesting buildings were on the top of the hill that we’d aimed for on our bike ride a day or so earlier. Joanna had picked up some information at the campsite for this complex, […]
We’d stopped at a Carrefour in Lugo and picked up dinner supplies there, so we set up at Camping As Cancelas, had our meal, including a bottle of that nice white wine we’d discovered in Pamplona, and then made our way down to the restaurant/bar of the campground to check out the ambience and the […]
Our plan for the next two days would be to stay in a hotel each night in Burgos and Leon. Outside of their respective cathedrals, neither town had much more to see and for a bit more than the cost of camping, we could take in the sights, make time, and gain a day […]
It was a pretty long, but uneventful drive from the Dordogne down to Pamplona. We hit a couple of short sections of toll road, but the charges were reasonable. We crossed over into Spain just south of Bayonne and Biarritz on Highway N121-A, a good road that brought us to Camping Ezcaba, about five miles […]
