Matt at the Batteria

Took Matt up to the Batteria to get him to pose on the Big Gun.
Woud not walk on it like me , but the wind was a little strong!

Mat and Becs visit

Matt and Becca came to visit on 4th January and we showed them the sights.

 Calblanque beaches and Cabo de Palos.

New Friends

28th October 2009 - ongoing

Made decision to stay here until the New Year. Started to look at activities taking place within the campsite so its Line Dancing, swimming and keep fit for Sarah, and beer drinking for Rob. Met some new chums, Gary and Bren, they made a snap decision two months ago, sold their flat, bought a car and caravan and did exactly what we are doing, although it took us four years to get to the same place.

Cabo de Palos

1st November 2009

Cycled into Cabo and round the coast to check out the area. Cliffs are eroding badly. Lighthouse seems safe enough.

My Sixtieth Birthday

27th October 2009


Robs 60th Birthday, spent day on the beach. Had Champagne and steak for birthday tea.

La Manga & Calblanque Home for Winter

Saturday 24th October 2009

Tried our luck at camping Mayal where Liz and Terry stay but too expensive and they were not there, so we found a site at La Manga on the beach and decided to stay at least a week if not longer. Had enough of travelling for a while.
This looks like being home for the rest of the winter!!!!

Cap Prim Xabia

Wednesday 21st October 2009


Our next stop was Xabia, took a walk down to the old and new harbour on the first afternoon and saw a trawler bringing in his catch. Watched it unloaded and auctioned off by the quayside. The next day we walked to Cap Prim and then down to beach at Cala de la Barraca o del Portitxol. What a great setting a must for a revisit to the whole area. Campsite a little tight but manageable near front of site.
