Spain: Arriving Thursday......

....In Madrid, Stay one night, meet up with all the other people on the trip.....then its off to Oviedo for 3 nights.
Saturday is the Angrilu stage of the La Vuelta . Just hope the weather is OK. Last time we were there it was cold and wet, not much fun sitting shivering for 6 hours waiting for the race to come through!! Look out for the Union Jack about 3km from the finish

Wow! That is a short trip, Jan D! You must be a true fan of cycling.

Hard to say what the weather will be but check the usual weather sources the day before flying out to help prepare you for whatever comes your way. Enjoy!

Saludos, MadridMan

The Angrilu wiould be a cracking stage to watch even in the rain, its a pity David Millar isnt there this year to have a hissy fit if it does rain .
We were going to go to watch it at El Escorial last year and the forecast was for thunder and lighting , so we didnt bother , and then we managed to miss the final on castellana , which was only a 5 m inute walk from my house . Next year hopefully catch it .

Hi MadridMan
No not a short trip
We're back in Madrid for the final stage, then staying at Hostal Chelo for a few days. So hopefully a meet for dinner or lunch will still be ok
And yes we are true cycling fans- Hey! Antonio, what do you call us?
Eskimo Joe: We were there when DM threw his bike.....and a bit of thunder etc doesn't put us off...we just pack for all eventualities.This year we've added a "space blanket" to the kit.

its funny you metnion cycling . I originally booked time off my work this weekend to go down to Glasgow to see the Tour of britain , but instead im coming to Madrid tomorrow to go bullfighting .
Enjoy the Angrilu I will look out for you in a bar in Salamanca.
