Blue brolly was taken on Sunday in Caceres but could have been in Salamanca yesterday or Bilbao today - nine days of rain now from Costa del Sol to Irun on the French border. Turned back by police today because a river had broken its banks. Flooding in the north quite bad with landslides in places.
Guggenheim was spectacular - the architecture is stunning! Northern coast is unexpectedly rugged with hidden coves and fishing towns appearing out of the blue. Went through Guernica today - sobering but increases my understanding of how calculated the bombing must have been. All the villages beyond have historic buildings which Guernica obviously lacks.
South of Poitier tomorrow night in a Logis de France. Lovely B&B tonight after meal in Spanish bar, gales and torrential rain forecast, sounds rough out there!
Salamanca was beautiful and felt wealthy. Lovely university town that came to life in the evening. Could also have spent more time in Bilbao, very much Basque coutry but friendly towards visitors.
