As we travelled through Spain we noticed some young (ish) ladies stood at the side of the road waiting for lifts, or so we thought. I suppose it depends on your definition of a lift.

Sunday we took a drive into the hills. It is difficult to describe how pleasant it was, the pictures will give you an impression.  This is the first time that we have put our little car to the test, we are pleased with it. The type of roads are synonymous with mountain areas, winding with [...]

Phil, you are right, what a wonderful piece of engineering. We took a boat ride which takes from the lower basin on to the wheel and up to the higher  level. From there you travel a short distance along the upper canal, turn around and return to the lower lock via the wheel. We recomend it, [...]
