The lovely little aire was in a tiny village in the heart of Burgundy
A lovely spot at the top of the hill between the Tay Valley and the Tummel Valley.
There is a large aire on the edge of this little town. The town dates back to C9 and is well worth a visit.
It was quite a chilly start when we woke up after our night at Terque. The thermometer reckoned it was just 2.1C outside at 9am – that is Scottish weather. Although we are quite high in the mountains we are still fairly close to the sea. To get here we climbed much higher on a minor road over the Santillana Pass (1320m or 4270ft) and then drop down the other side into the high valley behind. We are staying at
We left Archena a bit late as we walked in to town to go to shopping at Mercadona to stock up first. We knew there would be little retail opportunity at the seaside aire we were going to. It was a bit further to Mercadona than we had expected and also rather more uphill. We came back a different way to avoid the noisy traffic on the main road and came through the old town and along the river path.
Midday on Saturday we left Ricote on the long drive (10kms) to Archena via the Aldi supermarket in Archena. I can’t believe the difference that short drive has made.

The whole place is busier and several degrees warmer – it feels so different. The aire is a large carpark next to the town
