Sunny Spain

The sun is shining and we are enjoying a massive lunch on the beach (cafe faro) at Puntas Calnegre. We passed a massive wild camp, we understand they have water and toilet emptying facilities, at Canda de Gallego on a headland. Please don't ask for coordinates, I am not able to do it. We found it so I am sure anyone wouldn't miss it! Take a left off the N332 coming from Mazarron.

It's not so sunny Spain today! We are in a massive empty car park overlooking the seafront at Bolnuevo just west of Puerto Mazarron. Not allowed but local police are turning a blind eye, there are 3 vans at the moment. Sitting in a cafe sheltering from the drizzle. Off back to an Aire at Puntas Calnegre where there is a cafe on the beach that does a 4 course lunch with wine and coffee for €9, such a hard life!

We were on the "sculptures carpark" at 5.30pm on the 3rd Feb when the police took photographs of everyones number plates and said that they would be around later and fine (muchos euros) anyone still there. so be cautious

They came round never spoke to us and we left the next day. Have heard since that last week 20 vans were sent packing. Quite happy here in Puntas Calnegre for a few days, next stop Aguilas, we have heard it is very noisy, we've got a plan b, well you have to don't you?!

Been enjoying some lovely weather. Tomorrow we are off to cabo de palos a small car park we spotted at the weekend which had a few motor homes. It's on the right as you enter the Mar Menor peninsula.

How did you get on at cabo de palos?

If you happen to visit the Aire at the top of the hill, next to the industrial site, say "Hello, " to Olly the young German man who owns and lives on site. He has one of the best, free wifi connections we came across. Description of where site is is not the best but don't let it put you off.

It was fine, woke to hear the waves crashing on the beach. Not room for more than 4 or 5 motorhomers, depends how everyone parks. There's a mercado a in walking distance, the village very, very quiet during the week.
 
I think I can help you poor souls yearning for some Spanish sun. Play a recording of Joaquin Rodrigos 'Concierto de Aranjuez' Specifically the Second Movement. You'll be transported to Spain in mind and spirit, and for about 10 minutes it will feel as though you need sun blocker. Certainly preferable to the Viva Espana dirge!
 
Panic over the rain lasted for all of 10 mins in Santa Pola has been windy though.Near La Marina but near enough!! lol
 
We are 7days into sunny Morocco at Essaouira north of Agadir, a clear sunny day, temp in mid 20s.
We have had a fantastic drive down & realise I've not given myself enough time, I've only got a month on my green card & need at least 3.
Next year, maybe.
