There's blue skies! Hint number 1: Anyway, about that covid July: as you can see the place was hardly teeming with people. It's what we like best: wife, dog, tent, car and myself and then as far away as possible from other people. We love camping and outdoors there is zero chance of getting covid, which is a nice side-effect, but hardly the main reason why we picked this spot: our first plan was Canada but for obvious reasons we had to postpone that one. (Wonder whetherwe'll get our money back.) Back to the quiz: let's give you another hint, there's special wildlife over there (zoom in, I'm no fourthchord!)

Given the Thin Lizzy clue I'd say the Pyrenees. Which would lead me directly to the Griffon Vulture. But then I've not had my second coffee yet so I'm probably way off the mark

Ooh, that's close, must have been the coffee. What you see are the Picos de Europa. (I know you British are in general not too great in foreign languages, but this one is a giveaway.) It's to the west of Spanish Basque country and it is simply wonderful. I'll throw in 2 more:

Beautiful pics, Charles! So that's within driving distance for you? You lucky thing you! [Btw, I'm completely with you on the Covid thing - gimme the outdoors away from interfering masses (a.k.a. f*&%in' idiots) and I'm content - C-19 or not]

Okay, this is how we roll (yuk): I'm the designated driver and we have one doggy who loves to drive, but no more than let's say 8 hours. This gives us a radius of about 600 kms a day. Only this year I realised that we are really forunate to live in Belgium: a small country, but centrally located in Europe. So on the first day we pick a a spot like Tours in France: beautiful and 600 kms away from Antwerp. Then we put up our tent and enjoy some wine. The next day we visit the place (and enjoy some more wine). Only then we continue our journey to wherever we want to go, in this case the wonderful region of Northern Spain: Needless to say the entire family loves our little trips:
