the north coast of spain is unlike the rest of the country but its a damned fine and beautiful place, especially as you head into asturias and galicia. if you like sea food, dramatic coastlines, beautiful green countryside, mountains, women with hairy forearms and fat behinds, cider, sunny with scattered showers and flying kites then northern spain is for you.
if you like riding tractors through muddy fields in the pi.ssing rain with a pint of over rated guinness in your paw then you can just feck off to ireland.
oh, and remember that NW spain is europe's principle entry point for all illicit goods of south american origin

if gijon is your planned starting point give me a shout - thats where i'm living now.

Back in about 1980 I was in the Royal Navy and our ship had called in at Bayonne. I remember we used to walk down to the beach at Biarritz - it was a bit of a walk. We went on a coach tour to some mountainous region in the Basque area I think. I haven't got a clue where it was but have often wondered... I remember going on a train that took us to the top of a mountain where there were people hang gliding. There were also a few touristy type buildings/shops at the top. Does that ring a bell Andy - I'd love to know where that train was?
