in planning » Spanish Trip

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 👌

Hi Wessie
No not really other than we have been there before and it’s a nice seaside town and a few nice hotels and we thought it would be good to have a few days there and ride out each day before we move on to the rest of the trip, we seem to have had too many holidays where we just charge about from one place to the next place and I have promised my missus a bit more relaxing this time 😳
There is a nice hotel on the prom overlooking the sea called Don Pepe and then it’s a nice walk down the prom and across a bridge into town

let me know the places you stay including Don Pepe as I am collecting a small database of potential places to stay. I like to settle somewhere for 2 or 3 nights and just bimble around with no coherent plan other than to get back to base for dinner, which I understand is not 5.30pm in Spain!

When in Puebla de Sanabria a walk by the river is nice on the grassy area and there is a little chiringuita with seats outside for a couple of beers and as said previously the Parador is good

I don't know if anyone here has been to Hotel Torrecerredo, Las Arenas? Run by a really nice Brit, Jimmy, and his Spanish wife. He cooks to a very high standard at a very low price! The rooms are decorated to a very 'Individual' style and you may need sunglasses to prevent a headache but they have amazing views of the mountains. I was there last year when the bathrooms had been refitted - very nice.
Well worth a visit as it make an excellent base to tour the Picos.

That's the way to do it!
It's a bit tricky to find as it is along a track which runs of the road out of town, look for it on the right between a couple of buildings. Be sure to try one of Jim's meals while there - oh and a few drinkies in the garden - I'm back there in my head now.
