Still in Jávea

So Monday 28th Feb we decided to do a bike ride to the various view points here. So we started off with my favourite, Cap Negre. It's not to far to cycle and the views are pretty spectacular. We then continued on to Ambolo via Cap de la Nau and Les Pesqueres. Ambolo is Steve's favourite. Here we had some lunch whilst just soaking up the views and the warm weather.
 

Tuesday 1st March we played boules in the afternoon. This was great fun as yet again we had a Ladies league. We did manage 2 games this time. We tend not to be so competitive as the guys and naturally take our time 😀. In the evening we went to John and Pats for dinner. It was lovely to sit around at theirs, chatting and eating delicious food and generally having a good time.

Wednesday 2nd March we went to meet up with Lesley and Rob. Wednesday's when we were locked down in Torrox was BBQ day. So after a couple of games of boules, which Steve and I lost (they have nice new shiny boules), we had a BBQ followed by a couple of games of Dirty Liz, oh how we laughed, especially as both Steve and Lesley went out, leaving Rob in a state of shock (he is seriously competitive when it comes to this game) 😂😂

Thursday was a glorious day and we met up with our friends from the ICA, well the ladies, Catie, Marina and Debs, and headed off to Denia. We then walked around Montgo. It's a long and tiring day but relatively an easy walk. It was lovely to have company. We then in the evening re grouped, this time with the guys too, and went for a Chinese meal which was all good fun.

Friday 4th March, we've had a lot of rain and when it looked like stopping, we headed on out and met up with Lesley and Rob and headed off the the market bar for some tapas.

Saturday wasn't much better but again we got a break in the rain and headed on out for a walk. We went to the old town and walked up to Ermita Santa Llucia Church, which gives a lovely view around Jávea. After this we headed down to the port area and went to the corner bar that is now open. Met a couple from the campsite who had cycled there so we had a little social chit chat with them and then the rain came....... thankfully we managed to get a break in the rain and headed on back quickly. And to be honest, it's more or less rained ever since then.

We did manage to duck out on Sunday for some lunch but got caught in the rain on our way back. The weather really isn't looking too good for the next few days. Probably Wednesday is going to be the first dry and sunny day!😞

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

Image
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...
