It's really windy here - however the weatherman is saying it peaks at 75mph at 7pm so were probably getting away with it lightly compared. (Aberdeen - not quite as exotic)

A lot of loud banging noises from the decks below, we’re hoping it’s not carnage in the morning!

16-18 degrees in Roquetes today and barely a breath of wind. Seems surreal reading about the storms elsewhere!

That was the worst crossing ever! Relentless rough seas all the way, very little sleep. Now in Santander and hoping the rest of the journey will be without incident

I'm from Yorkshire, you know..
We're surrounded by people who speak in strange dialects.
Portuguese is a cross between Geordie and Birmingham.

Wot Joe Meen? (Wolverhampton with a dash of Stourbridge ...) . Many would say that a dash *from* Stourbridge would be preferable ...

We’re now in La Rioja, Calahorra, having stopped off at a bodega en route to buy some Rioja Blanco. Nice aire on the entrance to town. Off to find a bar.

We are on the free Aire at Roquetes with free EHU ... 2 minor inconveniences: at 0730 the workmen arrived to dig the cassette and fresh water supply up, and by 12 noon still has the services disabled (and our cassette runneth over, but not with joy ...), and at about 11:30, a German couple strolled onto our pitch and accused us using 2 x EHU, and demanded that we 'hand one over'.

A polite request may have persuaded me to offer a split of the supply, but the aggressive tone and repeated references to 'Ein Englander' led to a pointed response that there are 5 pitches for 4 EHU, so you will have to wait for someone to move' 3 times they came back with the demand ...

Tortosa was the last town to surrender in the Spanish Civil War, and there are quite a few small plaques commemorating the dead and injured. But we found a new mural today that stretches around a corner, so even a panorama shot couldn't capture the entire picture. Quite a sobering set of statistics for the dead, the injured, and the properties destroyed.
