Spain October/November 2016 (Burgos LEBG)

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

LECU - Madrid, Spain

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!
