I , yes I , got chatted up last night ! I always look , when riding into town , not for a hotel but a pension - which is almost like a b&b - but not quite . The Madame - not what you're thinking - couldn't speak Rogersworld - so she went on to bloody Google and she typed in questions in Spanish which got translated into English ! She didn't know where Grand Britannia was so then she googled maps - well , after an hour , there it was ...... Swanmore - with my Nic - sitting in front of her fire watching University Challenge - with a tray on her lap ! Cleaver stuff this google !
Then , at a bar , I was having a little trouble ordering my 'rational' and this chap helped . His son was at university in Chester and he was going over this coming w e for a visit - I told him to wait until Chester races were on - no point in wasting an opportunity like that ! He was playing in a band later on that evening and invited me to go - but I had a long - very long day so declined his invitation . I now wished
I hadn't .
So , I started my day in Rioja . The landscape is so very red - the wine ( of which I had plenty of last night ) so very red .
Then , on top of everything there's the bulls blood .
This is not the land of the faint hearted - that's for sure.
I'm now in the province of Zaragoza and if I had the time would love to visit the town of the same name . Cycled through with my Nic a couple of years ago on a Brucie tour . Loved the place .
