I celebrated that you had listened to my suggestion and you are enjoying your trip, it is a very quiet route because of traffic density and you still have very beautiful things ... you will see that Cáceres is spectacular, you should not miss it.
....and What did you think of Asturias? Did you like Llanes? The exit by the south crossing the Cantabrian mountain range by Huerna highway is nice, is not it?lost in translation!

Absolute visual luxury driving across the plains!
Llanes beaches were second to none. Worst thing is that I had never heard anything about them until Ruben informed me. Thought it would drawing more tourists!
All in all, it's one hell of a drive!
Caceres is the next stop tomorrow before Saville.
Look like it will be a hot one today 31oC!
Pics will be updated once I get more reliable WiFi! 2016 D4 Landmark
