The Spanish scenery continues to wow us with its vast scale whether in the mountains or on the plain. The last few days have been contrasting, beautiful and spectacular in equal measure. After a relaxing day off the road in Ainsa we dipped into Pamplona before turning south towards Calatayud. A rotten wet day meant we stayed in the van and racked up some miles but now the weather is hot (26 degrees) and set fair. After visiting the lovely city of Teruel we spent one night in one of Spain's most magnificent villages, Albarracin, and both reckon it's one of the most marvellous places we've ever been. A Moorish village, steeped in history, its narrow climbing streets and ancient architecture, coupled with the amazing views from high above the plain, made it truly unique. Evening beers in a cellar bar alongside a mill pool sitting under a vine clad pergola were memorable.
A couple of stops on the road across the vast central plain east of Madrid were also pretty special.
Spanish campsites so far have been superb in all respects. 2000 miles on the clock!
