Hi John. Thanks for that, I have just signed up to your blog and will take a good look at it.
We visited the Picos de Europa several years ago, but I didn’t get chance to do any serious walking because the weather was not good. The other areas you mention (excluding the Pyrenees) are new to me ??? so I will pay particular interest to those. I’m always looking for new areas to explore.
The Cheviots is a fine area. A little damper underfoot than Andalucia, I expect.
All the best, Alen

Found this post on a general catch up of the blogs that I follow (been pretty abysmal at reading and posting since we moved house earlier in the year). Wow and good for you.
If you look at my blog you will see we have a strong resonance with Spain and all things Spanish. We have done bits of walking in the Picos, Pyrenees and Andalucia but haven’t climbed any of the heights. Even lower level walking is gratifying and gets you to some quite areas. The Sierra Nevada are quite something and as you say, the autumn weather will be great. Enjoy!!
However, our favourite area is the Picos de Europa and the Cordillera de Cantabria. The Valle de Liebana (main town Potes) is like a second home to us, right on the border of Cantabria and Asturias. Mountains inland and stunning coast to the north. This proximity of mountains and beaches is what we have been looking for as we have searched for a change in life ……. so we moved to the north east of England …… the Cheviots, coast and castles. Very much like Spain, just a bit cooler!!
Enjoy your new life and I look forward to reading some more of the Spanish tales.
Buen suerte!
John

Hi Jo, I like the idea of upping the sinning levels before a pilgrimage. I’m sure it went on in the old days, so there’s no reason why it shouldn’t happen now. I shall plan ahead for that one.
Thanks, and all the best, Alen

Hey, Alen – so it’s all happening! Well done! I wish you and Anne every happiness, and I hope that your little pusscats will settle down happily too. What huge potential you will have for walking and exploring! I do like the concept of using an upcoming pilgrimage as an excuse to up your sinning levels – that makes me wonder if they used to try to fit it all in before a trip, in medieval times that is. Hoping that the sun shines on you, literally and metaphorically, and I’m looking forward to following your new blog!

Hi Jonathan. Thanks very much for that. Sorry we’ll miss your party this year. If our solicitors had strung things out another three weeks we’d have made it.
We visited Alquife a few years ago but saw only a small part of it. It’s only a couple of hours’ drive away so a return will be in order. If you can flag up any other places, that would be great.
All the best, Alen
