Robert1952, the Flags at the top of the Sommer Sierras, another good Spanish hostel, albeit at the start of a long drag down to Madrid, stopped in there one evening after breaking down on the old road coming up from Burgos on the steep part, made a temporary repair to get to the top, Police turned up just before I started moving and threatened to call a wrecker, was sitting in the Flags eating when said policeman turned up with a mechanic and said I had to pay for a recovery truck. I said I did’nt need one but he insisted or pay mucho pesetas, turned out the mechanic was his brother in law but he did do a proper repair job for a reasonable sum which kept the boss happy.
