Jávea ~ Feb - March

So here we are in Jávea. It's good to be here and catch up with a number of people we've not been able to see for a couple of years. Most people are here, although a few have not been able to make it for one reason or another. The sun is shining and it is relatively warm, more so than being at home. So our first evening we went down to the seafront just to get a feel for the place again. The next day we went to the old town and up into the food market where we of course, stopped for tapas and caught up with the people who run the place. Tony, Rita and Zac arrived today and got settled in whilst we had a game of boules and then we all took a stroll down and around the beach area. 

Wednesday saw us up at the port area, where we stopped for lunch. Thursday we went to the outdoor market and then had lunch in the food market. Friday, Steve and I did the light house walk, which we were pleased to see that where the fire had destroyed all the wooded area, there is now significant regrowth. We also saw more red squirrels!

Saturday was a bit of a cool day, so we had breakfast at Creme de la Creme. However, Sunday, we met up with a number of our friends from the ICA group and caught the ferry from Jávea to Denia, which is something new for us. We then had lunch and cycled back to Jávea, again, following a completely new route back. I tell you, it's hard work keeping up with those electric bikes. But all very good fun. A great end to a most enjoyable week here.

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...
