Big Spanish City Leads Us To A Perfect Small Village | Motorhome Life, Burgos, SPAIN

What a great find that village was - Beautiful! Carlos is obviously so proud and loves where he lives that he wants everyone to see the best of it. What a lovely, lovely man.

[@findingxanadulife]

Yes indeed. Goooorgeous village. I think Carlos is how Darren will be when he is older. 🤣 We adored him and wanted to adopt him. 🤗 Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟

That village though. Freakin stunnin mate. Great vid.

Thanks Gareth, we thought so too. 😬💜🤟

[@davewalkden7248]

What a thoroughly lovely bloke Carlos clearly is.

[@findingxanadulife]

Indeed Dave. We very much thought so too. We wanted to adopt him. 😍😘🥰💜🤟

[@davewalkden7248]

@@findingxanadulife Without wanting to get all deep & philosophical, the world's a bit of a scary place at the moment so seeing that there are still plenty of honest, decent people like him knocking about is really reassuring & reinstils a bit of faith in humanity. Thanks for another cracking video, guys. We're back over at our place in rural Andalucia in 5 weeks & cannot wait!

[@findingxanadulife]

@davewalkden7248 We're glad to say that we've met a few really good people on our travels. It's been lovely. Enjoy Andalusia. We're currently in Portugal. 💜🤟

[@CaroleBuckle]

Beautiful village, makes your heart sing! Thank you.

[@findingxanadulife]

Doesn't it Carole..? The mountains surrounding it acted like a photo frame. Blissful. Spoiler alert, wait until you see the village we visit in next week's video. 😉😘💜🤟

[@CaroleBuckle]

Look forward to that! Not sure where I will pick it up as, if all goes to plan, we are due to arrive in Spain ourselves next Monday morning!! 😳😊

[@findingxanadulife]

@user-zf5ii8xu5p Fabulous..! What part of Spain are to going to and how long for..?!? 💜🤟

[@CaroleBuckle]

We are heading south, firstly to Mojacar, then on to Isla Plana, beautiful tiny village between Mazarron and Cartagena, for about 6 weeks. Bit less than usual as my partner Alan used up some of his 90 days already! ☹️

[@findingxanadulife]

@user-zf5ii8xu5p Sounds lovely and the Cueva del Agua looks gorgeous. We had a brief visit to Bolnuevo a few years back and thought the region looked nice. Have a great time.😘💜🤟

[@omani5442]

Hi parejita, visitar Puentedey , Ojo Guareña es Burgos tambien.Greetings from Switzerland☺️🙏

[@findingxanadulife]

O'Maní, muchas gracias por sus recomendaciones. No visitamos ninguna de las áreas, pero los hemos agregado a nuestra lista de lugares para visitar en nuestro próximo circuito de España.Mucho amor Alison y Darren💜🤟

[@arcticfox50]

another great exploration you have taken us on😍😍🥰🥰 It never ceases to amaze me how much detail is put into the carvings within and on these buildings - even 30' u in the air, when no one in the day would have really been able to see it well - Brings to mind that old saying " If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well"!! We are now in the Costa del Sol, Calahonda, and hope to do some exploring of our own during the next 5 weeks.

[@findingxanadulife]

They definitely took pride in their work Paulette, that's for sure. We hope the weather is better for you than it is for us on Portugal right now. We have had rain for over 2 weeks. Fingers crossed today is the last day. Have a great time and if you find anything jaw dropping, let us know so we can add it to our list. We don't we will be able to down much time in the Costa del sol, but you never know. Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟

[@arcticfox50]

@@findingxanadulife So far so good, as far as the weather for us - we just arrived Friday evening - warmer than we have been having in our neck of the woods in Canada, which has been cooler than normal. Will let you know if we find anything interesting. hope your weather improves soon.

[@findingxanadulife]

We have friends in Canada and quince when they send us photos and videos of the snow and -40° 🥶 You're very lucky as the Málaga region was due to have a lot of rain recently too. Glad that has all passed and you can have a fabulous trip. 😍😘💜🤟

[@comealongdear]

Hey guys, just catching up now, its been a bit hectic with driving across Europe etc! Quite funny to see you in a place with loads of people, that's not the norm 😂 That cathedral in Burgos though...absolutely spectacular. We don't do churches like the Spanish! God bless Carlos...mostly for suggesting (I think?) that restaurant with the menu of the day...what an absolute bargain 😍 Loved that last village, a shame you cant swim in that crystal clear water but totally understandable if it's drinking water. Much love to you both ❤🤟🤗

[@findingxanadulife]

Yes, being in the place with lots of people didn't last long. 🤣 It seems that nobody does churches like the Spanish. Everything else we've seen has been completely different and now that we're in Portugal, it's changed again, even though Portugal was once Spain. 🤯 Orbaneja del Castillo was a definite favourite with us. We'll just have to find pools to swim in elsewhere. As for Carlos, one in a million. The restaurant recommendation was spot on and his welcome was second to none. We wanted to adopt him. Such a sweetie. 😍🥰 Hope you had a blast watching Eurovision in Malmo last night. So glad that all was calm. We watched it live on KZbin, from our seafront park-up. Back to normality with an Aire tomorrow methinks. 🫤 Safe travels and much love 💜🤟

[@comealongdear]

@@findingxanadulife I'm sure you'll find plenty of pools to swim in while you're there, though I expect the more hilly/mountainous ones will be more...challenging 🥶 Glad you both managed to watch Eurovision! We've had a great time this week...however, we decided to watch the final back in the van on the campsite after all that 🤣 We'd had a long day, walked 11 miles, and just had a feeling it might be easier to be out of the way. I'm so glad we did. Obviously, if we had final tickets we would've gone but we are just happy we saw a semi. Next year I think we plan to save and go to the final itself. Except it's in Switzerland so that'll be a lot of saving 🤣 Did you enjoy the show? Portugal was my (Dan's) favourite, and we both liked Ireland. The winner was great and happy with that, though it was a bit everything and the kitchen sink!

[@findingxanadulife]

@comealongdear Switzerland is expensive enough without Eurovision. I can't believe that they now charge you to vote. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I (Alison) loved the Israel song. It's something I would happily listen too in daily life, but I expect a certain level of cheese balls for my Eurovision winner. Croatia was stupidly catchy as was the Spanish entry. I got both of them stuck in my head. The winner was too high for me to screech along too although Darren thought it was very well written. I think Darren's favourite was Norway. I think my favourite was Italy. We hope to go and participate at some point, but who knows where. We'll eagerly await your Swiss footage..😬💜🤟

[@loraineswinburne7153]

Wow!!!! That last village was amazing!!

[@findingxanadulife]

Good morning Loraine..! Orbaneja de Castillo was exquisite. The waterfall and pools were so beautiful. We thought it would be a great place to visit in summer and swim in the pools, but it's not allowed as the water is used for drinking. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm sure we'll go back again anyway and certainly to Villadiego. We wanted to adopt Carlos, he was adorable. 😍💜🤟

[@Katubemeow]

Beautiful church in Burgos, very ornate. I was surprised they didn't ask Allison to cover her shoulders. Carlos was telling you that the weekly market was going on, so you could go and get food. Love menu del día in Spain. They usually have good deals.

[@findingxanadulife]

Hey Kat, I didn't even think about it until after we were in. We were both wearing shorts too. We asked Carlos if they had food at the market and he said No, it's a market where you buy things. Lol There wasn't any food ready to eat at the market, but Carlo's recommendation for Bar (Restaurante) la Cueva was definitely a top shout. Menu del Día is often the best way to get a good meal, but we didn't realise there would be SO much food. 🤣💜🤟

[@Katubemeow]

@@findingxanadulife Yes, nice portions and good food.

Hey O'Mani, Visitamos el cañón de Río Lobo y pasamos la noche en Huerta de Rey, pero tenemos la intención de regresar ya que hay una vía ferrata que nos gustaría hacer en el área. Es una zona hermosa. 😍💜🤟

[@martinoryan6582]

Thank you for showing my wife and I burgos . We have stopped in lerma that's a beautiful place . But now no the way back to England we are going to stop at the water falls and maybe look for your restaurant 🤟👌

[@findingxanadulife]

Good morning Martin..! We had to pick up a parcel from Lerma and thought it looked lovely, but couldn't find a decent place to park. Btw why is it "Parador" hotels move into so many stunning buildings..?!? Lerma included. 🤔 You won't be disappointed by the waterfalls, that's for sure. There is also a cave in the village that has water and is meant to be very pretty, but we arrived just as it closed. Typical us really. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Here's the Google maps pin for the restaurant. maps.app.goo.gl/qPJfJNg8Ue2uXcJB7 Safe trip back to the UK and if you park up in Villadiego, tell Carlos that the English from FindingXANADU send their love. 😍💜🤟

Asador San Lorenzo, cordero de Burgos, lo mejor no es tan caro porque no esta en la zona turística, y si cerca de donde tenéis aparcada la caravsna

Gracias por la recomendación Carlos. Si volvemos a Burgos nuevamente, lo intentaremos.Mucho amor Alison y Darren💜🤟

It looks like you're getting plenty of sun. Do you ever get recognized on your travels?

[@findingxanadulife]

Hey CJ, The sun didn't last much longer. Currently we've had almost 3 weeks of rain, but hopefully today should be the last day. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Last summer we chatted to a couple on our walks and then had them message afterwards to say that they had realised that they had watched one of our videos before. Also, just after we had bought Perse, we had a couple speak to us in Potries, or home village. They explained that they were subscribers and had come to Potries to look for a home, based on what they had seen in our videos. Lastly, we just met a couple on the road, who we struck up a friendship with and when they went to look at the channel, they realised that they were already subscribed. It is sometimes a very small world. Much love Alison and Darren 💜 🤟

[@hessionr]

You two seem like nice people, but your banter and dress in the cathedral caused me to cringe a little. Cursing and talking about "the side thingy"? It's called a chapel. Again, I feel bad about being critical. Raised Catholic by a stern Irish mother, maybe that makes me a bit of a stick in the mud.

[@findingxanadulife]

Good morning.. Alison here. Neither Darren or myself were raised in a particularly religious environment, but as Church of England churches don't mind bare shoulders and knees, it never occurred to us that our dress code could be a problem to some people or in some countries and thus far when paying our entry fee for religious buildings of all sizes, nobody has ever mentioned our clothes. In our defense we'd had to walk for almost an hour in 30°c heat, so we had dressed to stay cool on that day. With hindsight, I wished I had taken a jacket as the inside of the cathedral was really cold. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I guess as they open the buildings to tourists they accept that people may not always be dressed as they would for a service. If a church service is in progress, we wouldn't enter out of respect and we do always whisper when we talk inside churches as other people are often praying and we don't wish to disturb them, even though most of the time it is just us and other tourists taking photographs. We are learning better phraseology for the various parts of the churches too. With all that said we hope we apologise profusely if we have offended you. It was not our intention, or our wish. Many thanks for your comment. Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟
