Jávea 4th March - 10th

Oh dear, we've not done very well for photo's this week. 

Monday, we had a quiet day and spent the evening with John and Pat, who cooked us a lovely dinner. They are leaving at the weekend, so it was nice to have the chance just the four of us to catch up.

Tuesday, Steve and I decided to walk around Montgo. This involved catching the bus to Denia and then walking around the mountain and back to Jávea. It was a nice warm day and the walk was quite enjoyable, getting great views of the coast as we walked. We eventually arrived back at camp having completed 12.5 miles. We were somewhat tired but thoroughly enjoyed our day.

Wednesday we headed up to Rob & Lesley's. We had a game of Boules, which we lost at. Rob then made Seafood Paella and his famous garlic bread. It was very nice. Later in the afternoon it started to get a bit cool, so we headed indoors for cards. Well, what a joyous day it was for us. Steve managed to go completely out 3 times and I also managed it. Wow, we were shocked to the core. We giggled all the way home 😂

Thursday we took a stroll down to the front and had a light lunch, which was ver pleasant.

Friday, we cycled to Granadella. This is one of our favourite places. It's only 7.5 miles away, but as I've said before in previous years, it's one heck of a cycle ride. Up hill virtually all the way and then the last 1k is down hill all the way into the bay. Then it's a big slog back up that hill but after that, downhill all the way home. In the evening we went out to Pad Thai for dinner with Lesley & Rob, John & Pat, Steve & Vicki and Jean & Pete. A most enjoyable day. We say goodbye to John & Pat who head home tomorrow.

Saturday turned out to be a bit of a dull, cloudy day and a little cool. However, we had arranged to meet our Irish friends, Maggie & Trevor in the Irish Bar, to watch England v. Ireland.  Lesley & Rob joinned us part way through the match. What a match it turned out to be too. Stunned that England just managed to win at the last moment. After the match the 6 of us went for an Indian. Maggie & Trevor are moving off tomorrow.

Sunday, has just been a chilling 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...
