And yes, again , come back from Spain to France !!!

Posted in Europe, France, Spain

We were back to my dear Spain again !! love it !! We came by car of course and took time to see some new towns with my sons and our dog Rex ! I rented a small house in a off the beaten path country town that was just perfect ! And all good things, they finish too soon, time to go back to daily life and await the new year as usual, The saddest part was to do another trip with many dear missing of our family, This is the return home from a wonderful time spent in my dear Spain, and sublime nostalgic Madrid, Therefore, let me tell you about and yes, again , come back from Spain to France !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

We spent a glorious week in Spain with lots of road warrior tours,  It was special as always even if missing some wonderful family members that were always thrill to make the trip, We went by new and old places ; which old needed to stop by to remember our missing dear Dad Elio, Mom Gladys, and wife Martine, and with the our young men, and now our dear dog Rex. All is in the roots as my paternal grandpa Manolo used to tell me, the blood is thicker than the water, This was part of our trip going and coming, and would like to tell you all again.

The day before at night after all the glitter of Christmas in Madrid, we to our rental house in Velliza to pack and leave the next day, We left my dear Madrid on the M500 first and then the M30 to get on the Autovía del Noroeste A-6 , a highway that connects Madrid to the big cities in northwest Spain, It has a length of 590 km divided into 2 sections: From Madrid to Villalba at the foot of the Sierra de Guadarrama.and from Adanero to Coruña, This highway is entirely free apart from the section between Villalba and Adanero where it is paid because of the Sierra de Guadarrama tunnel of 3,345 meters and where it changes its name and becomes the AP-6. This we took on way down but going north we avoided the tolls of 14,30€, taking the N VI road.

On the N VI we took the mountains by Collado Villalba and onwards to Guadarrama avoiding the tunel on very steep curvy roads to San Rafael ,passing by Villacastin, We continue by Labajos, onwards to Sanchidràn to Adaneo where we hook up for free to the A6 highway passing Arévalo ,Medina del Campo ,Rueda, and Tordesillas, Here we hook up with the A62 highway direction Valladolid at exit 162 by a Repsol gas service station we took the local VL 5804 to our rental house in Velliza and pack up.

From our rental house in Velliza, we took the A62 past Valladolid ,towards around Burgoswhere we took the AP 1 to around Vitoria Gasteizto around Maltzaga Auzoa connecting with the A8 towards passing San Sebastian, Autopista del Cantabrico road , and passing Hondarribia ,Irun into the A63 in France. We did our stop at the Leclerc Bayonne A63 exit 6 1,63 per liter also Quick burger resto for lunch. Before continuing dir Bordeaux, taking the rocade or beltway N230 to the A10 direction Paris , getting off by outside Niort to take the A83 , and then around La Roche sur Yon direction Nantes ,get around it on the beltway N844 to connect with the N165 dir Vannes and home, All 1096 km and 12h time with two stops for gas/petrol and Rex our dog, The total trip took us for 3590 km !!!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
