I don’t recall exactly the “how” or even the “why” this began but for some odd yet humorous reason I ended up planking a number of sites during my trip to Spain. What began as a simple one-time joke became a long-running gag funny in its silliness and pointlessness. The photos were taken by various friends who were more than happy to oblige (and egg me on!)
VALLADOLID:
The wall is one of the original borders of the city of Valladolid still left standing.
Everyone was upset during our group dinner as it was our last week together…so I cheered them up with a plank!
VITORIA-GASTEIZ:
PAMPLONA (Iruña):
Apologies to Ernest Hemingway and family!
SALAMANCA:
SEGOVIA:
The above plank was more painful that it looks.
Four-man plank.
SANTANDER:
Penguin plank!
The beautiful Atlantic Ocean in the background.
SAN SEBASTIAN:
A plank with a panoramic view of San Sebastian from atop the castle.
Note the ETA graffiti on the cannon.
