Llánaves de la Reina (1390 msnm) es uno de los pueblos más inhóspitos de #Leonesp en invierno, no siendo raro su aislamiento por carretera. Al sur la Hoz, un profundo desfiladero frecuentemente barrido por aludes de nieve. Y al norte, el Puerto de San Glorio a 1600 de altitud.

Yes indeed, and the great forgotten, Donegal connecting Sligo and Galway and all the west. A west corridor, form north to southwest.

There's a different Spain, away from the sun drenched costas, English and Irish pubs, villas, all inclusive resorts, fish and chips in the sun, no Spanish needed, or spoken for all that matters, bar 'dos cervezas por favor'.

I remember the 'thanks Jose' after my 1st lecture, caught me by surprise, as an undergrad in Spain it wasn't a thing. I think it was (is?) a very, nice, Irish mannerism, like thanking the bus driver. Must admit it does really make my day when they do 🙂...I worry when they don't!

This pm waiting for the tide with @[email protected] BSc/MSc students Eimear & Alanna @[email protected], surveying a seagrass bed for their theses. We knew seagrass would appear soon when the first sandmason worm tubes emerged. Two important biogenic habitats next to each other.
