De celles qui vous mettent du baume au coeur...

Ferran a ete aux petits soins, me trouvant meme une nouvelle monture pour pallier a mon interdiction de conduire en Espagne..

et pendant 4 jours ce fut, ripailles...

Ballades..

a pieds...

forcement...

Le plus dur etant de revenir, mais c est beau la Catalogne!!!

Et, pendant que Barnabe tronait sur la place du village....

Ferran, Mathew, Greg, Lorenzo et moi profitions de la terasse..

A big hello from all of them to the spanish students in Ormsary!!!

Et toc Didus... et toi, le boulot... ca avance?

Sunday, I was planning to go to Sto Domingo de la Calzada on my way to Tarragona to visit my friend Ferran.

Nice start.

Until there where the police stopped me and send me to jail for one night because the law around the driving lesson changed in Spain one year ago. I have to say that I had a vey bad time but realised too how good were my friends... Thanks to Philippe who stayed in touch with me from Madrid when I saw the judge, to Santi, the president of the Madrid SC who helped me to understand what was happening and to Ferran who came straight from Catalunya to rescue me and Barnabe (1200 km in one day)....

Did I ever say how much I love the white vans?

So the monday we went trough Navarra, Aragon and Catalunya..... with the van...

One week holidays here in l Argentera... I feel now better.

I brought the rain with me... and was very happy with that.

J avais tellement envie de voir ce musee Guggenheim... et, en plus mon ami Philippe m invitait dans un hotel 5 etoiles... le luxe en voyage c est fantastique!

5 stars hotel...

And a wedding, just to remind me the CREAR.... Very extravagant outfits.. hihihi

La vue depuis la chambre...

And Barnabe traite comme une rolls royce.

Le musee est a la hauteur de mon attente... fantastique structure, des volumes doux et aceres a la fois.. un regal

the Jeff Koons s dog...

And his model...

Michele, un amico tuo!!!!

After a good night in a strange bar...

exploration de la ville ancienne... et du quartier moderne

Home!!???

Bilbao...Incontournable.

A Oviedo je suis allee voir Anna et c est la que mon appareil photo a rendu l ame... besos y gracias Anna! Puis retour a l est pour retrouver Philippe a Bilbao... La cote nord est fantastique! Beautiful beaches and impressive montains...

Longue journee pour moi, plus de 300 km... bloquee par l autoroute, les montagnes, beaucoup de tours et detours mais quels paysages!!! Long day but landscapes so so beautiful!!!

hihihihihi

et toujours les bars de villages tout assoupis typical in Spain the sleepy bars...

Valle de Cabuerniga

Attention la grenouille ca glisse... After the rabbit plague.. the frog one..

Ca c est pour faire rire JYP!

Embalse del Ebro

Enfin le soleil qui ravive les couleurs iberiques...

Pas le temps de mettre des legendes!!!!

At the beginning.. what anyone is expecting from Spain...blue Sky and heat.. 1 hour after a RAIn as good as a scottish one in the winter and it last all the day..

I get lost outside Santander but I met Luis who show me the right road to go away... the motorway... under the rain... fast and ugly!

Santillana del mar...

And finally I arrived in los picos de Europa.. Big mountains, routes en lacets...

Monument au saumon!! il fallait le trouver celui la!

he he... ah le queso de cabrales asturiano..... miamiam

Et toujours la pluie!
