Janet and John go to Spain

I was commenting on the content of the Vicarious offering, and not 'knocking' Spain. In fact, I'm quite warming to the place!

Off the air for few days as the site wifi is rubbish and I will not be renewing it tonight. I'm getting a Spanish internet Sim on Tuesday.

Got my internet sim from 'Andy's Phone Shop' in the Indoor Market. He comes highly recommended and couldn't be more helpful, unlocking my Virgin phone in 30 minutes for €10. Didn't recommend Tuenti or other similar online operators. DigiMobil wins!

I get 1Gb for 30 days for €10: that includes the card and €1 calls! I can top up in 200Mb increments. Works a treat, tethers to my laptop or can be used as a wifi hotspot. The provider is: DIGI mobil España - Telefonía móvil

Sorry I missed you, Wints. Our surprise visitors spent two hours buying one pair of shoes......

Went to Guadalest on the scooter. Saw some MH's here, below the white clock tower.

Hissing with rain right now. Going north on Thursday have we've had enough of Benidorm culture....

Took the scooter North for a recce to Calpe. The Calpe Mar site is small, quiet, clean, and devoid of louts. Not a €2 breakfast in sight! The beach with its rocky pools is delightful. Looking forward to driving Hugo again but first we have to clean the sandy soup from the roof!

Calpe Rock is much taller than it looks here!

The tunnel through it at about 2/3rds up. Knackered!

The view was worth the climb....

I never thought I would but i enjoy reading this thread well done guys
 
We are parked up at Camping Javea, a place that grows on you!

Next to us is a brand spankers Hymer:



It looks very nice, but talking to the Dutch owner reveals that it doesn't do much more than our Starline - for three times the money - but he does have electric stabiliser legs.....

View from our pitch: Jan's in there somewhere!



Better view of the loverley pool:


We took a long scooter ride North along the coast to Denia and beyond. Very dull: just a 12 mile string of beach side apartments and unmemorable campsites! Next stop Valencia I think.
We're going to the fiestas tonight and over the weekend. I found the perfect beer mat for the occasion:

Good 'ere innit!

How awful!
 
yes,we're all very quietly proud of you both-soldiering on despite the oppressive sun ,language difficulties,driving on the wrong side,and general fun. give yourselves a pat on the back ! don't forget to put the glass down first !
 
Javea was one of the first sites we stayed on in Spain. Absolutely beautiful and so well kept. Swam in that pool last October and wish I was back when I look out of my window just now to dreich, wet weather. Fortunately I still have some Amstel so can only daydream. Roll on September when we will be back.
No point in saying enjoy as that is pretty obvious. ;)
 
If you can drag yourself away from the dreaded campsites, a few kilometres south of Javea is a fantastic headland at Cabo la Nao, you can wild camp in front of the restaurant, done it several times. On a clear day one can see the island of Ibiza.

Fantastic views & a beautiful sunrise if you can get up early enough.

Can you be a little more precise please - like restaurant name or co-ords?
