Jávea 19th Feb ~ 3rd March 2024

We arrived on the Monday and once we'd got ourselves all set up, we met up with Rob & Lesley, who had also arrived the same day. We took a stroll to l'Arenal, the beach end of the town and had a couple of drinks and then something to eat. It was good to see them again.

Tuesday we headed off with Tony, Rita is still poorly, bless her. We did the lighthouse walk, which takes us up to the pennisular dividing Denia and Javea. This is a beautiful walk, especially now since the trees are starting to grow back after the fire that destroyed the area a few years ago. We stopped off on our way back at the Corner bar for a beer but a mist was coming in from the sea and it was quite thick and cold. So we strolled back to camp.



Wednesday, we met up with Rob and Lesley for a BBQ. These are always great fun and we always ending up playing cards.

Thursday was Tony and Rita's last day here, so we met up with them and took a stroll down to
the prom and stopped for lunch at one of the many bars/restaurants here. Funnily enough this is where we went Monday night with Rob and Lesley, ha, never been here before and now twice within a couple of days. 

Friday, we met up with Rob and Lesley and went to Bar Mercat up in the old part of the town. This is one of our favourite haunts, where we had tapas. In the evening, Steve and I met up with John, Pat, Steve, Vicki, Pete and Jean for dinner in a Nepalese restaurant. 

Saturday, well bit of a disappointing day really 😁. We met up with Maggie and Trevor to watch the Ireland, Wales game and then the Scotland, England game. Nothing more to be said about that ! Sunday was a bit of a wet and windy day. We met up with Rob and Lesley for cards.

Monday we took a stroll to Cala Barraca, a little cove just the other side of the Cap Prim
pennisular. It was a lovely day and an enjoyable walk, not too far and not too hard on the old legs. 


Tuesday we met up with Hazel and Paul, friends that Rob and Lesley made at their last campsite. As it was their first time in Jàvea, the six of us went to Bar Mercat for tapas in the old town. We then headed down to the Port area where we stopped off at the Corner bar and then finally strolled back to l'Arenal, the beach area for a final night cap. 



Wednesday Steve and I just took a stroll along the prom. We didn't do too much as we were both full of cold. There seems to be a lot going around at the moment.

Thursday we walked Cap Prim. This is one of our favourite walks. The water on either side of the pennisular is just crystal clear. It always looks so inviting, we just want to get our diving gear on and explore. Not that we are going to do that 😂

Friday, we headed off to the old town and walked to the Santa Lucia church that is up on a hill. It's a bit of a climb to get there but it gives a nice view and is very peaceful. After this we went to Bar Mercat for tapas and then headed off back home.


Saturday, we took a stroll to the Port end of Jàvea for a beer. The wind is picking up here and it has a bite to it. Still when you out of it and in the sun it's lovely, but my goodness it's gusty. Sunday another bright, sunny but windy day. We headed to Creme de la Creme for some breakfast. Early evening, we went to Rob & Lesley's to play cards. Hey, guess who won 😁

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...
