My final instalment of pics…
Final LEBG
A Commander 114 arriving
The catherdral
Everybody is out in the evenings, as usual in s. Europe
They like their meat
Very deep blue sky – this is ex-DSLR and not photoshopped
A view from the castle
Someone important, I guess..
A number of these statues around
Not sure what this symbolised
The river – lots of great scenic spots
The cathedral again
Inside the cathedral… various forms of christian suffering and torture depicted in accordance with standard practice
However, the cathedral was nothing like the one at Salamanca where you could go high up and get amazing views. This one was just a ground floor walkabout. Everything else was closed off.
Soup! We found an excellent restaurant (posted earlier) but there weren’t many around; mostly it was bars. Prices were also mostly very low, presumably due to virtually zero tourism into this part of Spain
Nice haze pics on the way back, FL090
The Pyrenees
San Sebastian
Near La Rochelle, I think
La Rochelle and Ile de Re
La Rochelle airport, with TJ’s SR22 down there somewhere, refuelling. I was the first to arrive and the only one who got fuel! I think after their 25-litre bucket marathon they didn’t want to do any more…
The N French coast
Nearly home
This was the first long trip with my older son, who really enjoyed it, taking masses of photos with his newly acquired Sony A7 and talking about fast cars
This is the Ile d’Aix, Peter, scene of a British naval victory in the Napoleonic wars, a car-free zone today.
Burgos cethedral, full frontal
El Arco de Santa Maria
The Pena Alta crest separating the Pais Vasco from La Rioja, Logrono in the distance

A video, truncated because I forgot to clear the SD card so it filled up

Yes, indeed :-)
Carlos III (Charles III) was the King of Spain between 1759 and 1788
6 months and what seems a lifetime later, here is the trip report

Any corrections appreciated, as always
Nice pictures, just for accuracy your photo of Biarritz is in fact Saint Jean de Luz, Biarritz is a few miles up the coast. This harbour is SW point for Biarritz and E point for San Sebastian.

Corrected; thanks!
