Wessie, the Parador in Cuenca is lovely, super old monastery and with a brilliant bridge walkway into the old town, I’d recommend that. Also the Parador in Salamanca is great, but you seem to have that night covered. |

Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #2 I was looking at Cuenca recently and spotted the footbridge from the Parador. Certainly a possibility. Need to balance the budget between Parador and more modest hotels so yet to decide. The Parador aren't the bargains they once were. Room only is what I paid for half board not long ago. Just checked and "the hotel is closed on those dates" Plenty of other choices so not a festival or some such. Jaén is further south than I had intended initially. The SW corner will have to wait. I want to go to Jerez as well, just because I like sherry :)

Big thumbs up for Castilla Termal Burgo de Osma in Burgos. Lovely hotel (with underground carpark too)

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #5 looks nice and should be good as it is dearer than a Parador! Seem to be some miles from Burgos in Burgo de Osma! An alternative to Soria maybe for the penultimate overnight on the way back to Santander.

the route has changed as I look for accommodation. The Parador in Cuenca is closed until August. The Parador in Jaen Castle is just too expensive on the weekend I would be there 31 May & 1st June.

Zitat von Valks im Beitrag #10 the N roads have to be exceptional for me to use them, like the N502 south of Avila, passing over the Sierra de Gredos, which I might ride again going south from Salamanca. A420 looks good, passing through olive groves, pine forests and canyons. The aroma from a pine forest on a properly hot day is lovely. We rarely get to such temperatures to get those aromas in the UK. For the uninitiated, the N roads are national roads that might by single or dual carriageway. Other roads have one or two letter prefixes that correspond to the local government responsible for them. Andalusia in the case of the A420. Spam goes here |

Zitat von Becksy im Beitrag #12 I'll be back in Plymouth on 6th June so hoping not to see over 30C. I have been in Porto, Portugal in October when it reached 43C! I spent 2 days chilling out in the cellars of port houses.
