Merzbow Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Looking like a bootleg Charlie Bronson at Supersonic Festival but at least I have a vest on. Also, jealous of you @Shy Dad the Nova Twins are ace. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's going for the 70's proto-doom metal thing so yeah, pretty much the exact same look as Neil.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember who it was on here, but they said San Sebastian in the Basque Country is a gorgeous place to visit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 15, 2022 Moderators Share Posted July 15, 2022 I remember going to San Sebastian as a kid. The exciting draw for me was that point where you can swim the channel between two beaches to cross the border between France and Spain. As an adult with Google maps and a better basic grasp of geography, there is less mystique when you could just go one km inland and achieve the same by walking across a bridge.

Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted July 15, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2022 I've travelled across Spain relatively extensively but the North has yet eluded me. I'm more familiar with Andalusia, Extremadura and the central regions; areas which contain some of my very favourite cities in the world. Continuing the UKFFers on the continent theme, here's me at closing time at the Bosa Beer Festival in Sardinia And a marginally more civilised shot taking in the atmosphere of one of my local city's piazzas That said, I might live in Italy now but I think I'll always prefer Spain. I do miss life there sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevendaughters Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I'm not mega familar with much outside of Catalonia tbf. We were on holiday in Zaragoza (very nice, halfway between Barca and Madrid) and saw we could get a cheap return to Bilbao and went for it. Would love to go back, and might take advantage of the free train thing the govt are bringing in later this year. Also top username shout out to the greatest charity single of the 80s.

I've never been to the north either - been to Granada, Cordoba, the Alpujarra mountains, Sierra Nevada, etc. Absolutely gorgeous part of the world, but I really would like to visit Barcelona, Bilbao, and San Sebastian; that said, it seems like you could throw a dart at a map of Spain and land on somewhere worth visiting: Seville, Valencia, Salamanca, Toledo, Pamplona, Zaragoza, Vigo, and these are just off the top of my head. So much history and such a rich culture. Edited July 15, 2022 by Carbomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted July 15, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2022 Indeed! I moved to Cáceres to start a new job in February 2020 which was the worst possible timing as it was just before the strict Covid lockdown but that was a staggeringly beautiful little city which often goes under the radar a little bit. I'd recommend a visit next time you're over there. My favourite city in Spain has to be Cádiz though. I adore that place, it has such a unique vibe I can't really put into words. Either that or Sevilla - I could honestly spend months wandering the streets of Sevilla. Seems like there are inviting places for a tapa and a caña on every corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point, I'm just going to save up and do a tour, I think. One of my favourite bits of trivia is that Cádiz is literally the entrance to Hell - it was where the Greeks geographically believed it to be, and the name comes from that: Hades -> Gades (I think the Romans and Carthaginians called it that) -> Cádiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
