Friday 30th august. Drove down south again. Salamanca, passing Piedrahita, too much northern wind, and headed for the beautiful Valle de Jerte. A must if you are in the neighbourhood.

We are contacting the local school in Jerte to have some flying in tomorrow. Lets hope they are active !
We are pretty immobile due to our camper van, that cannot climb up to take off. So fingers crossed for the good local guide down here. My Niviuk Artik can't wait any more. It is almost crawling out of its bag .....

Meanwhile we are enjoying the 'piscina natural', a swim in the river so. The weather is sunbathing good, 28 degrees and back to complete sunshine, yes just like home.
Surrounded by mountains this narrow valley is known for its cherries. And as you know my favourite colour is cherry red, I love it.
We plan to stay here for several days, and hope to get some flying in. At last, after a roadtrip of more than 2000 km already. But we have enjoyed every minute of it. Portugal especially, then the northwestern part of Spain, where indeed it is cold and damp, but green and full of big trees. Which is a change after living since 1998 in Alicante. And not to forget the jumps in the ocean, the board surfing, the food in Galicia, the lobster and seafood at reasonable prices in Asturias. Only 60 euros for a lobster and large mix of seafood, all fresh from the sea for two persons. Great value.
