Just thought I would share my plans for our upcoming trip to Spain
We are taking the Portsmouth Bilbao ferry in June and heading down to Ribadesella for a few nights by the seaside
We plan to go for ride outs into the Picos, Cantabria, Asturias and down into Galicia
Not sure where we are going after that - just going to make it up, possibly Zamora, Segovia who knows
We go to either Spain or Italy each year and have toured most of Spain, last year we included the full length of Portugal and drove down the Douro valley to the furthest tip of the Algarve - Sagres - brilliant 👌

If you go further west towards Galicia check out Luarca on the coast. Allegedly the prettiest fishing village in Spain with some great fish restaurants and bars.

Last June we stayed in Luarca at a small hotel, the Zabala just outside of town. We had the place to ourselves as the season hadn't started - the owner had to open it up for us. They were a brilliant couple who also ran the bar over the road where breakfast was served. We took a taxi into town but unfortunately having had too much happy juice we couldn't find the taxi rank to get back. I called the hotel up and even though they spoke little english the guy came out to us in his car and took us back. Halfway through the journey we sobered up rapidly when he sailed through a set of red lights and we realised he was more pissed than we were! He wouldn't accept anything for the trip so we left a good tip when we checked out next morning.
That's just one example of how friendly everyone is there, a great area to visit.
