Sunday 20th October, 2026 – Oviedo / Uviéu, Santander Sunday morning saw us on the move again, this time checking out of Oviedo and heading for our next stay in Santander. Because it was Sunday, and because it was hard to find any really good places for dinner, I’d booked us in for lunch at…

Travel 2026 РOviedo / Uvi̩u, Spain РDay 10
Saturday 19th October, 2026 – Oviedo / Uviéu You might have thought we’d have had enough Pre-Romanesque architecture after our adventures the day before but not a bit of it. After Santa MarÃa de Naranco y San Miguel de Lillo we still had more we wanted to see. The delightful lady at the Tourist Information…
Travel 2026 РOviedo / Uvi̩u, Spain РDay 9
Friday 18th October, 2026 – Oviedo / Uviéu In a bit of a switch about on Friday morning A and I were the only people keen to head out and check out the market hall in Oviedo. The Mercado el Fontán, which was where we were headed, has a very long history in Oviedo. After…
Travel 2026 РOviedo / Uvi̩u, Spain РDay 8
Thursday 17th October, 2026 – Oviedo / Uviéu A blissfully good night’s sleep meant I was more than happy to go out for a run first thing, where I criss-crossed San Francisco Park, the scene of much of the previous day’s San Mateo festivities. Dodging the street cleaners I soon found out that there was…
Travel 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia, Castro Urdiales, Oviedo, Spain – Day 7
Wednesday 16th October, 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia, Castro Urdiales, Oviedo After the only peaceful night I had in San Sebastian, it was time to get on the road and move on to our next stay in Oviedo. The day started grey and the forecast wasn’t brilliant, but as we had quite a long…
Travel 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia, Astigarraga, Spain – Day 6
Tuesday 15th October, 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia, Astigarraga Another early morning run done, because given the lack of sleep as a result of the revellers at Kelly’s, I needed something that would wake me up! We had a plan for the day and we needed to start moving in good time. Today we…
Travel 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia, Hondaribbia, Spain – Day 5
Monday 14th October, 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia, Hondaribbia After another night of not very good sleep thanks to the denizens of Kelly’s, we fancied an outing to somewhere outside town – especially as many things are closed on a Monday in San Sebastian. There were several options so we had a look to…
Travel 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia, Spain – Day 4
Sunday 13th October, 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia Despite being less than refreshed after a poor night’s sleep thanks to the revellers downstairs (don’t stay on the same block as Kelly’s is my advice) I was first up and ready to go. So I went for a run along the seafront, which was a…
Travel 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia, Spain – Days 1, 2 and 3
Thursday 10th – Saturday 12th October, 2026 – Portsmouth to San Sebastian / Donostia Freshly back from a trip to Basque Country, Asturias, and Cantabria all I can say is why did it take us this long to get there?! Apart from a single long weekend (Valencia), a short work trip to Barcelona, and a…
Travel 2019 – Barcelona, Day 3
Thursday, 13th June 2019 – Barcelona, Day 3 We’d been late to bed the night before (too busy putting the world, or at least some aspects of it, to rights over drinks) but I was keen to get an earlyish start to what had now opened up as a free day in Barcelona. Unlike my…
