Day 14.
The end of our journey has come.
Last night of our E to W trip (and back) has been Logroño, a city we use often as last stop from our trips to northern Spain.
The city is a typical Spanish town, quite authentic, not so full of tourists as others. It's main attraction is Laurel Street, where you'll find... tapas again:LOL:
So, last two chapters of this thread are basically tapas and beer, sorry about that.

The street is keeping it's essence as bar street, where you ask for a drink and each place has it's own tapa.
Is trying (and doing well) to keep that essence by forbidding certain behaviours that were a dangerous trend, like bachelor parties, formed by groups of disguised drunk people wandering from bar to bar.
That's been eradicated now, thankfully, and it's full of local flocks of friends, families or discrete tourists enjoying the experience.

After all that food and beer (you could also have red Rioja wine, but you could end seriously affected after three or four tapas🤣) we went slowly back to our parking spot, a huge non official, but kind of abided by the authority MH parking (as long as camping behaviour is not performed, which some people unfortunately seems to forget/ignore).

I'm writing this as Mrs Peavy is in driving duties towards our base in Tarragona.
This is the end of this thread.
Thanks for following and we sincerely hope that you have liked it😀

Day 13.
We moved to León.
One of those cities in Spain where you're going to have great tapas while wandering through the streets of the old town. Most popular parts in the old town are "el Húmedo" and "el Romántico", which are the districts where you'll find all these tapas places.
The most interesting spot in the town, though, is the majestic cathedral.
A shame we didn't take a picture of it as we were passing by, because we were hungry and thirsty and we've seen it before, when we visited the town last year.
Anyway, here's a picture taken from Wikipedia.

Mrs Peavy says this one and the one in Santiago de Compostela are her favourite cathedrals, and she's got her point.
Below are some of the fantastic options we had for lunch and luckily, we managed to take a picture before devour each plate. Patatas, morcilla, picadillo, cheese, jamón... When you order a drink, you are served a tapa, sometimes you are offered the possibility of choosing between two or three options.

Make sure you visit León if you are wandering around the north of the country.
I didn't mention the city has not one nor two but three municipal MH parkings, all well maintained and with services (except EHU), not the quieter place to sleep but what else could we ask for? It is free and does the job perfectly.
We'll be back.
We liked Leon.

Thank you for this thread. It's been interesting for me, especially the Portuguese section, as its been a long time since we motorhomed there and it's not as difficult as some people say. We may have a trip there next year.
