Many thanks for the tips Simon.
I like maps and are heading out to Santander again in late September so I punched in your first ISBN number to google and there’s quite a variation in price Amazon wanted £143.20, yes you read it correct, this site was €6.90 http://www.parcir.com/mapes-carrete...eras-1340000-norte-de-espana-desplegable.html
I’m sure there are plenty of places to buy it
I must confess I like to get out there early. I do like my (very) strong coffee and I'll have another one at the first stop after a couple of hours. I hardly eat on the road (just can't do it) but I do have a sandwich and a beer (alcoholic - hey, this is Spain!!) at lunchtime, especially when it's hot. ...
Oooh, noooo. I "try" not to drink before midday. I only have a beer because it costs €1 for 1/5th of a litre bottle which is plenty for me and it is served ice cold. I'm not a huge dinker, I just like an ice cold beer on a hot day and I know it ain't gonna affect my eye or push me over the alc limit.
Anyway, that's not real wine drinking; you are watering it down with cream soda.
Yes, a cool quinto
NB for the rest of you: be careful, Spanish beer is strong, @ 5.5% ...
If you're in The Picos in Sept then we might even run into each other. We're there between the 17-23 but we're doing a run down to Chaves again this year for one night and working our way back to Asturias over the west and northern coasts. If you see a group of 10 of us: 2 GS's (one with a SP plate), 2 new XR's, a Kwakker SX, an H2, a CCM SPITFIRE (yep, you read that right) a K1300S in the mix, then you know it's us. However, I suspect that the CCM is the one that will stick out like a sore thumb!!
Really? Rather watery compared to some of the Belgian and Flemish brews I often drink when on holiday.
I was thinking of English 'real ale' - which I sorely miss living outside the UK If I remember correctly a 'strong' brew is about 4%?
Cheers

You have been away a long time. When I started drinking legally in 1980, mild was very popular, about 2.5%. Bitter was 3% and best bitter 4%. Thinks like Fuller's ESB & Theakston's Old Peculiar at 5% were considered head banging beer. Not now. Very few milds around now and a session beer is more likely to be 4.5%. Premium beers are 5% or higher. Same with the yellow piss that is British lager - Heineken is no longer 3%, now 5% and the best seller, Carling is 4%. Premium lagers like Stella Artois & Kronenburg 1664 are very popular and are 5%.
