Magical Mystery Tour 19th -23rd September



Ferry cross the Mersey 

Eleanor Rigby

Strawberry Fields for ever


So we've spent a few days in Southport, meeting up with neighbours who moved here a couple of years ago. As you can see, we've had great weather and a great time seeing the sites in Liverpool. A fantastic City. So much to see, not just Beatle things. but loads of other interesting things. 

We stayed in Southport which is a lovely Victorian town on the coast with a fabulously long pier and a sandy beach that goes on for miles. We did a lot of walking and were extremely tired at the end of our stay there. What a great time we had.

Granada 3rd - 10th March

Image
  So here we are in Granada. We are about 10 miles outside of the city, up in the Guejar Sierra. This is the view from our campsite, looking over the mountains, some of which still have snow on the top. It's surprisingly wam here for this time of year. Normally, the weather has been either too cold or wet, or both!  We are here for a week to do some walking. This is a new site for us, although we have in the past visited Granada itself. It's pretty remote here, with not a lot going on other than lots of goats everywhere. That makes me happy. It's pretty quiet too but thankfully the site has a mini shop and a bar with restaurant, which has an open log fire 😊. Tuesday we decided to visit the local viallage, taking the scenic route there, which meant going up and around and dropping into the village walking down to the main square. A typical village, with not a lot happening.  However, there are a number of walks we wish to do here, so we did a recee to find the start ...

Navajas ~ 6th - 17th February 2025

So here we are again. Our first stop off the ferry. It's a littlle cooler than usual, but hey, the sun is shinning and it's great to be here again. We've met up with our friends, Marina & Steve. It was planned, but we literally pulled up right behind them. Couldn't plan that if you tried. So of course once we got ourselves settled, we headed for the restaurant for food and wine! Friday, a leisurely stroll to the waterfalls and on towards Segorbe, stopping at the ford. It was a pleasant stroll and just nice to get out in some warm weather. Saturday, we walked up behind the campsite. It's a bit of a struggle to get to the top, but we took our time and got there. We followed the route through orchards full of blossom and down to the resevoir, which is a lot fuller than it was last year. We then followed the laveda walk back into Navajas. A lovely walk. We stopped off in town for a beer and some tapas and then headed back to camp. Later we went to the Harvey's t...

Haro - April 2025

So here we are, our last stop before catching the ferry home. It's a long drive here, so we arrived quite late, but as soon as we got ourselves sorted, we were off out up into the square to stretch our legs and get something to eat. Naturally, we went to our favourite bar here, Bar Beethoven. You know what, it's great when you turn up a year later and you get a warm reception. We were told that we are now regulars 😊. Tuesday we decided to take it a bit easy and so we took a stroll along the river to the next village, Brinas but unfortunately they were working on the bridge, so we turned around and picked up the via verde in the other direction, following the river still. We had a very pleasant walk. The water levels here are certainly high. We know that Spain has had a very wet winter and fortunately, we've managed to avoid a lot of the rain, just had a couple of wet days on the trot, mind you, they were seriously wet days, raining non stop. Still, they needed the rain. Af...
