Galicia
The plan for today was to relocate south and head for Extremadura. Set off on a 5 hour journey but with every mile it got hotter and hotter. Stopped for lunch and it was boiling. Started to reassess our plan. Checked temperatures for destination and it was 40C for the whole week. Too hot for walking and unbearable in the beast with no air con. Decided to change the plan and stay in the north! We picked a location further north to stop for the night but again mega hot, we decided best option was to head for the coast. First place we went to couldn't locate the stopover so drove another 40 minutes to the next stopover at Bueu. Fortunately it was in a stunning spot overlooking the sea, walks from the door and a couple of beaches. Phew! But most importantly it had a cooling sea breeze. Pitched up for the night. After 8 hours drive and a tank of petrol we are about 20 miles away from where we started this morning!!! not the best day. And as if things couldn't get any worse we ran out of data on our Spanish sim. We had been in a number of vodafone shops to try and figure out how to top up but nobody speaks English and we only know the Spanish words necessary to translate a menu!!! So no internet for a while, really must learn some Spanish (internet fully restored now, hence the blog update!)
Bueu, Galicia
After our epic drive yesterday we decided to stay put in Bueu over looking the sea and next to lovely beaches. Spent 2 days walking along the coast, chilling on the beach and looking out to sea.
Boira, Galicia
Left Bueu and drove to Pontevedra for a walk around this historic city. Really pretty city got a great English walking guide map as well. Even managed to top-up our Spanish sim with data, yeah internet restored. Left after lunch and drove to Boira to a fantastic stopover right on the beach.
