Granada to Huelva 8th March

Weather very poor no views of the Sierra Nevada hidden behind rain clouds. Nice site at Beas but a little tight for the van as Rob found out leaving, the site as well as our rear bumper!

Mojacar 6th March


Travelled through some wonderful scenery hills carpeted with almond trees in full blossom on our way back to the coast.  Met up with our friends Phil & Val and Dave & Val re-visiting Mojacar.

Sierra de Maria 2nd March

Brilliant campsite in superb setting in Mountains.  Saw our first Crossbill as well as a flock of Griffon Vultures and a Golden Eagle.  Great place for walking.

Rafa de Bullas 27th Feb

We moved on to Rafa de Bullas, in the mountains. Great area for walking. Fields of Almond tress in blossom. Vine yards ready to bloom. Plum and Olive trees and bird life to die for.

Visited  Salto Usero en el rio Mula. This gorge was formed after an Earthquake of 6.8 on the Richter scale in 1999. Very dramatic rift. Gerry will be sorry to have missed this.

Val and Phil visit 23rd Feb


Val and Phil dropped by on their way to a Hymer rally at Mojacar. We had a great few days together showing them the delights of La Manga and Cartagena. So nice of them to call and see us. Hope we bump into them again on route.

Barry and Susan visit 12th Feb


Barry and Susan Newman dropped in for a couple of days on route to visit Clive and Roz in southern Spain. We showed them the sights of Cartagena and the hills. Looking forward to visiting them on way back up country.
