Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I'm being made redundant at the end of this week and as a result I will have a few quid in the bank and plenty of free time as of July. I've already booked a ticket to Madrid to see the Mad Cool Festival between the 12th and the 14th of July, but I haven't made a single plan for after that. The plan is to stay out there until I either run out of cash or get bored. Have any P&Bers ever jumped on a plane without a return ticket? Have any P&Bers done a Spanish Tour? Where should I go? What should I do? All suggestions will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The have, sin gas and con leche, fiesta and feria, the song of the chochona, brandy and half corona, Leonardo and his accordione and calamari and macaroni. Might need to change your name to Francesco Vasquez Garcia to be welcomed in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santiago de Compostela is full of religious fuckwits. I was there for a (non religious) conference many years ago and it was a lovely place though I did get stopped and asked for directions! The workers co-operatives in Mondragon in the Basque Country are interesting, as is a visit to Rioja. Barcelona is a must for any tour of Spain.

They just quietly laugh at the pilgrims and take their money. Loved the place. You get served wine in soup bowls and get to hear bagpipes in the Witches Bar. Very medieval.

git-intae-thum Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Would visit Salamanca again. Lovely place. Park outside city walls and go across the old Roman bridge into the town and then just wander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 As alluded to on another thread, done in a plate of pig’s ears tonight. Would not recommend. First stop after Madrid will be Salamanca. Any other advice than that already provided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janne Lindberg's Laces Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Not new advice but Seville is 100% worth a visit, great city for wandering and eating. At the other end of the country San Sebastian is even better for eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Sevilla is awesome but it's gonna be hot as buggery this time of year. A lot of places there still observe siesta, it's probably a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 It’s been so hot in Madrid it has been on the news. I thought we only did that shit. Never saw any headlines saying it was hotter than Glasgow, which was a tad disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereismillar Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Got a train ticket from a travellers site that was a one way ticket to Casablanca in Morocco, that was back in the early eighties ,travelled back up from there via Fez ,Marrakesh, Ceuta, visited sevilla, Huelva , lisbon. on the way to madrid , back on the lusitania express.. Morocco was a shithole, got money stolen and couldnt wait to get out of the place, kept getting hassled everywhere .stayed in Algeciras on the way too and met loads of other travellers there many good memories Sevilla and the gold tower..huelva and the cheap pensione's doubling as brothels.

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Off to Salamanca for a couple of days tomorrow, then onto Sevilla probably via Merida. Anyone been there?And tonight’s dinner was a bit of a test to get through. Nice of them to go balls out with the salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
