I didn't drive far from San Sabastian. Ruth and Jose live in the mountains between Bilbao and Victoria so very much in Basque land. The house was in Jose's family and it is really lovely.

Like all old houses there's a lot of conservation needed for the wonderful beams and floors. This is a wall in "my" bedroom, decorated by Ruth. I loved it.
I had a really lovely stay and then we all decided to head south as rain was definitely in the forecast as it often is in this region. We had planned to see Rioja and visit wineries but it was just pouring down so we compromised and just stopped for a tasting with cheese and jamon and didn't spend the night

| Ruth and I in Bilbao We drove on down to Valencia where we all stayed beside each other in the camp grounds of a friend of theirs named Amphara. She was very nice and also her brother Pepe. Here's a picture of the great Paella she made Valencia fashion    |
