We are Peninsula war buffs, most of what we knew was from the Sharpe books, until we decided to follow the routes of the campaigns.
We have been feted at re- enactments at Almeda, La Albuera, and Elvas, because we had English plates on the van
The tourist Info guy at at Badajoz, is another buff and we had great difficulty in getting outside, for lunch.
The Torres Novas lines is an interesting story, , we were greatly welcomed there, even if it did cost us a new clutch, after someone had assured us that we could be able to drive the van up to the semaphore station..
So much to see and experience, if you travel with a theme.
Andalusia is at its best, after Xmas and 3 kings . Lots of Peninsula war connections, plus Trafalgar .
Empty so Brits always welcomed.
Ideal for a mooch round and a chilled Fino Sherry, to go with a tapas.

If you were on a boat in Faslane 1986 .. 1990, there's a good chance I might have lifted you out of the water as I was on AFD60! I'm also ex-RN but general service. Joined the RN in 1972 and left in 1994. Mainly Devonport-based but volunteered for Faslane as a shore draft for personal reasons -- turned out to be one of the best drafts of my career!
 
We camp up there if we are in the area, been moved on a few times by the MPs from the hill opposite looking down, wish we could camp up there.
 
Irish Guards 1976-87.
Munster(twice), Canada(twice ), Windsor, Pirbright(twice), Hong Kong, Brunei, Chelsea(twice). Great times, still friends with a great many. QS
