Sadly, the weather is looking wet, wet, wet for several days! Gordon and Pam, our Scottish neighbours have decided to turn tail and head for Portugal. We’re going to tough it out. We want to see Cordoba. But first we…
SPAIN 9. SUNDAY LUNCH.
The weather forecast hereabouts is either very accurate or wildly wrong. Sunday was predicted to be wet all day. It turned out to be a lovely day. We drove to Olvera and parked sensibly at the entrance to the old…
SPAIN 8. RONDA
We’ve had the occasional ant join us in the caravan at Conil. When we came to pack up, we discovered hundreds of the blighters had taken up residence in our battery locker. Easy access up the power cable – and…
SPAIN 7. CONIL, CADIZ, COCKERELS AND CALOR GAS
We have re-located to Camping Roche near Conil, about 30 kms South of Cádiz. Close enough to visit. Far enough away to avoid the crowds. The plan had been to drive to Puerto de Santa Maria and catch the ferry…
SPAIN 6. MARMALADE
Sitting eating breakfast at our “rather cramped” Camping Villsom under palm trees, we wonder just how far the oranges in the home-made marmalade we are spreading on our toast have travelled. We are now just 10km south of Seville. And…
SPAIN 5.
On previous visits to the region, we had found lunches at the Hospederia Parque De Monfrağue near Torrejón el Rubio, exceptional. So, although the hotel is about 50 kms from base, and as we are not actively mending punctures or…
SPAIN 4. POTATOES, PORK & PAPRIKA
On Monday, we decided to try and get a new water pump to replace our broken one. There is an Adria agent in the South end of town – somewhere. Might they have a Truma omni-thingy for sale? Unlikely, but…
Spain 3. Caceres
OK. So leaving Tordasillas, we were a little reluctant to stop in a rest area for a coffee! Can’t imagine why! So the trip to Caceres was speedy with just one short break during which we took turns with the…
SPAIN 2. COPS AND ROBBERS!
Tenth off the ferry, we had been told to expect someone to check our temperatures and our hard won paperwork. And, naturally, very long queues! Well, of course, there were no such health checks and consequently, no queue! And could…
SPAIN 1. 222222222
Well, I’ve forgotten how to do this! In the two years since my last post, EVERYTHING has changed. Everything has been upgraded, speeded up, streamlined, organised and generally made more difficult to remember how to use it! So, 222222222. What’s…
