Nerja - Feb/March 2023



We arrived Nerja to a new site. Normally we stay in Torrox, but this year we decided to try this site out. It's closer to our friends Brian and Jane and makes going to Nerja a lot easier. As it happens, our friends, Steve & Marina arrived the same day as us. So we decided to walk to a local restaurant for dinner that Monday evening. And a jolly nice restaurant it was too. Tuesday, after breakfast at the campsite cafe, we walked along the beach into Nerja, which is a pretty place with lots of narrow streets full of white washed buildings. We stopped for some lunch at the Balcon de Europa. It was very busy as it was a public holiday and a vast majority of the locals had all met and did the community cycle ride, all ages on varying types of bikes, one even sat 5 or maybe 6 people. They certainly love to have fun as a community and as a family.

Wednesday we caught up with Brian and Jane. It was great to see them again. They picked us up and we headed off to Torrox Costa, where we walked along the prom and then stopped for brunch. After this, we went back to their place for a further chinwag.

Thursdy and Friday, we spent the day with Steve & Marina, wandering around Nerja and stopping for tapas and on the Friday, dinner looking out over the sea. It was very beautiful.

Saturday, we met up again with Brian & Jane for brunch in Torrox Costa and a stroll along the prom.



Sunday, our last day, we took a stroll into Nerja and stopped off for some lunch at a lovely restaurant in one of the many little streets off the Balcon de Europa. It really is very pretty 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...
