Through Probeño to Castro Urdiales. Saturday 18th July, Bilbao to Probeño, 31.2 km. At the beach of La Arenas, the route followed boardwalks across the beach to footbridge to Probeño, where we found the albergue full.

Wednesday 15th July, Zumaia – Meakur, 28.7 km. We passed through Guernica in the early afternoon. It has a very important place in Spanish history and I remember reading about it in the past although those details escape me now. Always resistant to Franco, it was heavily bombed by the Germans in the Second World War. I was underwhelmed...

Original dmorg.org site. Dave morgan: travels, photos and other stuff. Occasional cyclist, opportunistic photographer, unrepentant geek, inveterate nomad, terminal cynic…. An eventful start to this day! It was time to rearrange my load. The two rear panniers moved to the front racks. The remaining front pannier was unloaded into the mostly empty green bag that had been riding on top of my rear rack. Without rear panniers for support, it now folded down limply on either side of the rack but wo...Sometimes...

Original dmorg.org site. Dave morgan: travels, photos and other stuff. Occasional cyclist, opportunistic photographer, unrepentant geek, inveterate nomad, terminal cynic…. That time again…. Bikes in bags for travel this time. Each weighs about 2 kg so we don’t want to carry them all summer. We plan to take them as far as Bilbao, then leave them at a hotel or in the bus station left-luggage until we return for our flight from Bilbao back to the UK, then on to Canada. July 8, 2015. Sprint to the finish.

I could have used a shower but the option of taking a cold one under a roadside waterfall seemed at bit extreme before the sun had warmed the valley. I preferred my direction, for the downhill ride across the exciting previous day’s section. I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much going uphill. But ...Who wanted to tak...

Buelna – Nueva – La Isla – Gijon. Saturday 25th July, Buelna, going nowhere. Wine is not included in the 5 dinner but we can get a bottle from the bar for another five.
