Another longish road trip today. This time with my old friend, Mike, to have a long and enjoyable lunch with reader Richard in Ferrol. Another chance, therefore, to observe the many, many speed limit signs at the side of the road. And to note again how often they conflict with each other. If I get yet another speeding ticket, I won’t exactly be astonished. Despite valiant attempts to obey the law. This time, though, I have a co-pilot to blame.

But, anyway, here’s a picture of the birthplace of General Franco in the city.


And here’s the monument to one of its other sons, the founder of the PSOE Socialist party – Pablo Iglesias


Chalk and cheese.
