Motorhoming in Spain

[crazy canuck]

Looks like a great trip. I cancelled mine and am now betting on next year's eclipse in Cadiz.

Sorry to hear, was it Trump?

Cadiz is probably even worse with heat, so hopefully we won't have to go there to experience one.

Cadiz is actually very pleasant. It gets refreshing ocean breezes.  There are wide boulevards that are lined with large wonderful trees and large treed public spaces.

I highly recommend even in the summer months.

Which reminds me, when the iron mine that became LKAB was starting up a new town was built from scratch, so they brought in a French architect that designed it with wide boulevards so the refreshing wind could get full access.


Kiruna. 200 km norr of the arctic circle.

Paris' wide boulevards are there to keep Parisians from barricading streets and ambushing soldiers. Basically easier for 19th century armies and cavalries to mow down the rabble . Pretty though

Did not work though, cf. Commune de Paris.

The uprising was crushed, but not by him.
Thiers, a veteran of French politics, did it.
