Renovation Project - Tordesillas, Spain

Renovation Project - Tordesillas, Spain

This is it, it is our final goodbye to France and our breakfast was a traditional French affair. We have never done the sit around a communal table before and it was not something I had really wanted to do, but it was a very pleasant surprise, everybody was French and and the owners only had a couple of words of English.

This really put me to the test but I sat and conversed with the other guests and the owners. Sods law, I´m not panicking about my spoken French now we are leaving.

The owners give us a couple of slices of cake that the area is famous for, it is home made and delicious.

if you are in the area the B&B is called chez helene and here is the link Chez Helene

We set off and some how this bit of the journey is the hardest, we really are leaving France!

But before we leave we get one final ´Only in France Moment ´we stop to get some diesel and go for a coffee and in the burger king store they have a special offer, a mystery burger for only 2 Euro. We have no idea what they are or why, but assume it is a good way to get rid of burgers near their time limit.

I am going to miss France so much

We are booked in to Hotel Los Toreros in Tordesillas (Vallodolid) this is a great value hotel as the night with breakfast and dinner is only 75 Euro.

The drive is as stunning as ever. Driving over the Pyrenees is always one of my favourites.

We stop at a service station for a quick drink and then we really know we are in Spain. a coffee, a tea and a large slice of tortilla and the cost is less than 4 Euro!

Tordesillas is a little town with a very old town square where we enjoy some fantastic tapas. We spend a couple of hours walking round and sitting and drinking then it is back to the hotel for dinner, which is fantastic in the hotel restaurant and then its to bed ready for the final bit of the trip tomorrow

We need to pop to the shop and as I do I pass a toy shop with a full lego bull ring toy, maybe now it will change to `only in Spain`
