Down the Silver Route




The Ruta de la Plata runs between Gijon in the north to Seville in the south. A truly historic route previously trodden by pilgrims, traders and crusaders (and now overlanders). You can read more about the route at link below:

It's been a fantastic leg of the journey for both of us taking in some incredible historic sights as well as passing through some of Spain's most beautiful landscapes whilst experiencing the changing cultures and scenery as we progressed south. I'm writing this in Tarifa while Sanna stocks up on 'Western' products before our planned crossing to Morroco tomorrow from Algeciras. No tickets booked - we'll just turn up early and queue....

I randomly bumped into them in a campsite outside Sevilla. (BBC Bristol gets everywhere!) Had a lovely evening swapping gossip from home - they both looked very well & proudly showed off their well equipped car-camp.

Thanks for the cup of tea in the morning S&J & thanks for the tip to go to Ronda - it was beautiful & one of the best places we visited on our Spanish roadtrip.

Have fun in Africa - Sanna lets have lunch when you get back!
