We’ve scored a good day to explore Bilbao, drizzly in the morning, clear and cool to follow. From our vantage point, the city is shrouded in fog and mist – I’m glad I took my […]

2017 Day Thirty Four
Our journey along the Basque coast continues and the pattern of yesterday continues – forest indispersed with sea views and the occasional high rise seaside town. Blue gum plantings join the eucalypts, their silvery blue […]
