- The countryside is stunningly beautiful, with huge mountains, more trees than we’ve ever seen before, and a fabulous coastline. Definitely worth visiting and exploring again.
- The people are mostly very friendly, although some can be abrupt or blunt – a bit like Yorkshiremen really!
- The language is very difficult to follow let alone speak and bears no relation to any other European language. The only word I learned in 10 days is Agur – pronounced Ahorr – and means both hello and goodbye.
- The food is great but very heavy on the bread.
- The wine is excellent, Rioja is the local wine.
- The roads and public transport are great.
- Tourist Information was excellent everywhere but some operate on a ticket system – a bit like the deli counter at Morrisons!
