Travelling North Through Spain | Europe Van Tour Episode 8

Hello. In this video I head north through Spain. My first stop at a place called Consuegra, where I went for a ride and saw the famous windmills which feature in the novel Don Quixote. I then moved on to Toledo, an incredible city which I really enjoyed exploring. I am not a huge fan of big cities in general, so decided to give Madrid a miss, and instead stopped at an amazing cathedral that was built almost entirely by one eccentric monk, it is genuinely one of the most incredible places I have ever been (more details about this can be found in the links below). I end the video by driving all the way up to Bilbao, I am forced to take a day off with a bad back, but then manage to get out for a walk the next day and find Bilbao to be as nice as I was told it would be by several people who recommended it.

This is the eighth video from my trip into Europe. I have two months free, and I have deliberately embarked on this trip without any set plans of where I want to go and what I want to do, I have instead just loaded up my campervan with hiking and biking gear so that I can explore the countries I visit in a variety of different ways.
