The meal we had in Burgos last night was very good, I had duck with apple sauce and cherry sauce and Bill had Pork, sloshed down with a very nice and inexpensive bottle of wine. Whole meal came to about 44 euros.
On leaving Burgos this morning about 1045 we decided to make a good run to get south. We deliberated whether to navigate through Madrid or go west to avoid it, but in the end decided to go for the navigation around the M30 in Madrid. An experience only for the ambitious, we travelled 5 miles at least underground in a 3 lane motorway to avoid surface traffic, they must have been like rats to bury through all of that two ways. We then took the signs to take us to the A4 autoroute south towards Cordoba. The roads are so good here and empty of heavy traffic it was very easy to run a long distance. So here we are in Valdepinos where they produce a lot of very good wine of which we have sampled a couple of glasses already. The Hotel here is vey nice and for a 4 star very good value at 76 euros including breakfast. We want to get going a bit earlier tomorrow to get to the coast and stop a few days and relax.
Off out now for a tapas dinner by the cathedral locally, it is very Spanish here and apart from the hotel receptionist no one speaks English. Not a problem for me !
My next blog will hopefully be on the coast where we are starved of the sea and looking at fishing boats no doubt :)
