Javea ~ 28th March - 2nd April

    
Our last week in Javea.    

Monday we headed off to walk Cap Prim. It was a nice day, although the sea was quite rough with surf rolling in on the beach. 

Tuesday we did a bike ride to Granadella. We enjoy this pretty cove very much. 

Wednesday. BBQ day 😊 with Lesley and Rob. We started off with a game of boules, BBQ'd and then rounded the day off with cards.

Thursday, we decided to do the lighthouse walk again, only we changed the route slightly. Once at the pennisula, we followed a track that took us along the edge, keeping the town and sea in view, instead of going into the middle and following the path through the new growth of the, soon to be woods. The new route kept us in the shade for quite a while until we met up with the original track and continued along to the lighthouse and down into the port area. We stopped off for drinks at the corner bar before returning back to camp. As always a nice, long walk but slightly different on this occasion.

Friday we met up with Rob and Lesley and went to the market bar for tapas. We then headed off down to the port area and stopped at a bar we've never been to before, Montgo de Bongo. This was very pleasant, sitting on the beach looking out to sea. After this, we headed back to Rob and Lesley's for cards 🤣.


Saturday, we started getting a few things ready for our departure on Monday. Mid afternoon we headed down to the seafront. It was buzzing with families. It was a great atmosphere. We stopped off at a new bar to us, Charlies Beach Club, which gave us great views and people watching opportunities.

Sunday, our last day here. After breakfast at Creme de la Creme, we headed off to meet up with Rob and Lesley. Poor Rob, he was so poorly after we left on Friday, totally out of action on Saturday, but we were assured that he was a lot better today. So we met up with them at their place for our last game of cards, I would like to say redemption, but we were a hopeless cause🤣. Still, we had a good game and then headed down to the beach to get a late lunch. The beach area was busy again and buzzing. A very good atmosphere there. We eventually said our 'goodbyes' to them and headed back to camp. We popped in to see Steve & Vicki, had a couple of drinks with them and said our 'goodbyes' to them too. That's it, we are off in the morning to Alberracin.

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...
