This site was recommended by our neighbours at Benecassim. Everything was looking good for this campsite. Arrived around 4pm settled in then headed for the bar. The barman was very nice but ” wolve in sheeps clothing” They had Hendricks behind the bar so we thought we would treat ourselves to 2 Hendricks and tonic.… Continue reading 10-10-2019 L’Estartit. Camping Les Mides

Arrived 2pm. Campsite nearly full. We have ended up in the same pitch we had when we came in March. Nobody else seems to want it but it will do for a couple of days. Everybody here fights for a ‘Gold’ pitch and they book way in advance. Needless to say that lots of people… Continue reading 5,6-10-2019 Benecassim

Spent the days pottering around. Drove just down the coast to Calp, a place we have stayed before. Drove the coast road past the cliff villas, very nice. Spent some time with Barrie and Julie, our neighbours. They live in Fleetwood. Lovely couple. Stopped at a restaurant bar on our travels, Didnt stop. Left standing… Continue reading 2 to 4-10-2019 Javia – Arenal

Life in the fast lane, what a life. Cycled down to the front, cafe opens 9 o’clock. Coffee and croissant, then supermarket, bread and provisions. Back to the van for about 10. Breakfast outside then the arduous task of deciding what to do for the day. Decided to take it easy today. Out for a… Continue reading 01-10-2019 Javia

Started the day down at the front. €2 coffee and croissant. I could get used to this. 9 oclock and 25c already. Its supposed to be cooler today but thats what they have been forecasting to happen for days. On the way back to the camp site passed ‘Scollops’ where we had lunch yesterday. Stuck… Continue reading 30-09-2019 Javia, Arenal

Says it all. Another 30c day. Maureen was feeling a little off today so its day by the pool. For the past week the forcast has been for the daily temperature to come down to a manageable 25c. Its never happened although the humidity has dropped. Mornings for me are spent cycling to the Masymas… Continue reading 25-29-09-19 Javia

I have the feeling that a routine is beginning to be set. The mornings spent pottering and come mid afternoon a trip somewhere. Today it was up Cumbre del Sol, seemingly one of climbs in the Spanish La Vuelta. Froome won the stage a couple of years ago. The views are stunning, unfortunately I was… Continue reading 24-09-19 Xabia trip to Moraira

Lost most of our neighbours this morning but the positive was the addition to the fold. Our hire car for 10 days. Lazed about for most of the day then decided to go for a short run out in the motor. Travelled back north for 30k and explored the coast back as far as Oliva.… Continue reading 23-09-19 Javea, Arenal

From 18-19c to 28, rain to sunshine, it seemed we moved at the right time. We have visited this site before its small and we like it because its close to everything. Missed the reception being open by 7 minutes and had to wait lying by the pool reading for 2 hours. The things you… Continue reading 21-22Travel from Salou to Xabia (Javia) El Naranjal

Spent a quiet time over the the last few days with the occasional trip to Salou and Cambrils. Salou a busy resort with numerous shops, Bars and Restaurants, great if you lean towards an up-market Benidorm feel, catering for a more cosmopolitan clientele. Cambrils is a developed old town fishing port that has a more… Continue reading 17-21 Sanguli Salou
