On the way home we stopped for a night at Fontainebleau. It’s a big forest, with lots of sandstone. All through the forest there are paths, and plenty of walks to chose from. The signposts were often very small and could easily be missed 😉 At first there weren’t that many rocks … … but…
Ploumanac’h – 25.4.2022
Nearly every time we’re at ‚La Côte de Granit Rose‘ we visit Ploumanac’h. It’s a touristy place, but the walk along the coast is fantastic! The Plage Saint-Guirec: The Phare de Men Ruz: The name „granit rose“ lives up to it, especially in good weather ! The shapes are amazing ! A house next to…
Tr̩guier / Paimpol Р21.-27.4.2022
Tréguier is the capital of the province of Trégor, in the Côtes-d’Armor department. It’s name in Breton is Landreger. On our countless visits there I’ve taken lots of pictures, since it’s a very picturesque town. We spent a day there on a kind of treasure hunt 🙂 Old photos are on display at the harbour,…
around Plougrescant – 21.-27.4.2022
I am terribly fond of this part of Brittany, that’s why we decided to spend a week here, at the end of our trip to the Iberian Peninsula. Over the last 20 odd years I’ve taken thousands of photos of this place, therefore this blog only shows a few selected spots that we visited (again)…
Bourg des Comptes / driving to Brittany – 19./20.4.2022
We chose one of the first Crêperies in Brittany as our next destination. It happened to be the Crêperie Au Cottage in Bourg des Comptes, a bit south of Rennes. The galettes and crêpes were yummy 🙂 To get there, we drove through rain, a traffic jam near Bordeaux, and past a lot of gorse…
Elorriaga / Zumaia / driving to France – 18.4.2022
Walk around Elorriaga – it looked like in the Emmental 😉 A viewpoint overlooking the Flysch coast ! Lots of flowers lined the path. Since we did a „proper“ walk around Elorriaga the last time we were there, we drove on to the next town, Zumaia. The beach there is fantastic ! Nature at its…
to Burgos and to Elorriaga – 16./17.4.2022
We drove more or less straight to Burgos, past many fields, lots of wind turbines, over dozens of bridges, into the hills around Burgos. Our windscreen was full of stains (from mosquitoes)… We could see snow on the mountains of the Picos de Europa! Burgos is a lovely town, we visited it already a couple…
Bragan̤a / Montesinho / Barragem de Serra Serrada / and leaving Portugal Р15.4.2022
Our last day in Portugal we spent in the Parque Natural de Montesinho. We didn’t regret it one minute – we loved it there. First we had a look at Bragança by daylight: The old part of the town is completely within the defense wall ! Lots of narrow streets, interesting murals, and a cute…
driving to Bragan̤a Р14.4.2022
Burgos is calling ! We are slowly pressed for time … Therefore we decide to drive towards the Spanish border. We’ll visit Portugal again 🙂 Lots of stork nests on pylons and in trees ! We noticed an interesting way of spraying concrete, to protect the street from falling rocks ! Driving overland … We…
Serra da Boa Viagem – 13.4.2022
Bandeira in the „Mountains of bon voyage“ , with a good view: We found a waterfall without water. But because there was no water to fall, it wasn’t a fall, but simply a rock 😉 The eucalyptus trees gave off a lovely smell. We saw plenty of butterflies and flowers! Nobody else was around… Murtinheira…
