We have already been 100 days on the ride, no idea where the time has gone. We all love round numbers so the 100 days travelling deserves a post.

La Pedriza Circuit-a trek to remember
After our challenging but satisfying climb of peak Yelmo, we slept in the natural park that night.
A challenging but satisfying climb in Sierra Guadarrama
Gradually, we are approaching the area where I come from, Talavera de la Reina, Nearby is where our second home is, Casa Dos, Guisando. Most of my family and friends live around there. Hopefully, our busiest social time will commence soon.
A cheesy post
Another visit organized by Fermin. As we are really getting into the artisan world, this time he has arranged for us to visit a cheese shop to learn the process of making cheese. This will be a cheesy and smelly post. Are you ready?
Back to basics
We have finished our wine tour around Ribera del Duero, we are now heading towards Esguevillas the Esgueva where we are meeting Fermin in the morning. He has the morning free and he has organized traditional places to visit around this village but he has not revealed what these visits are about. I am very excited about this.
A friendship like a gran reserva
On the way down from Asturias, we will stop in Valladolid to visit a few wineries as well as to see my friend Fermin who I haven’t seen for ten years.

Where is the respect??
Covadonga is a famous sanctuary in Asturias, located at the base of the Picos de Europa. A sanctuary is frequently visited mainly by religious people, even important religious figures like the Pope John Paul II. We are not in here precisely for its religious significance. So, why then?
Bleak Asturias and not just the weather
After the unsettled weather we had in Picos de Europa, we decided to change the scene and headed off to the coast and for a nice seafood meal.

Autumn has finally arrived, it is definitely here to stay.
