June 09, 2018

*For special effect, please read the following post with the first video playing* Our looooooooooooooong journey has finally come to an end! *Cue the Asturian bagpipes* Where last year, we were met with hot, arid weather in Madrid, this year Central and Northern Spain have had an unusual cold and rainy season!
