Cambrils-Salou Cambrils is a small little town with the beach as the main attraction. The campsite is just a little walk away from the centre of town . Got the bikes out and cycle there for the afternoon. We longed the beach up and down, the weather is just nice around 22. It’s just haven. The next day we cycled to a bigger town called Salou situated some 7 miles away on the coast. We had lunch at a McDo in the hope that they’ll have WiFi . But unfortunately they didn’t have any. Anyway the wifi was just an excuse; [View Full Entry]

Friday 14th Nov Isla Plana - Camping Los Delfines MAZARRon Mazarron is definitely a little corner from heaven on earth. If ever there is a place I would like to retire to, it would be it. Linda shares my feeling on this little gem.. It has 6 perfect half moon bays with clean sandy beach, The centre of town oozes with style, the marinas is more of a small port where most boats are of the fishing/sailing boat; none of the mega-millions pounds super-boats here and all the better for it! As usual we took the bikes for a ride from [View Full Entry]

Granada: 200km. Not a long drive and an easy and enjoyable one. The plan is to spend 2 days et 3 nights in Grenada. We arrived in the afternoon so we stayed in the van. As usual Linda tackled some washing/drying etc.. I spent the afternoon setting up Sat TV, repairing bikes and reorganising the garage. The next morning we took the bus to visit Alhambra palace built by the moors some 1100 years ago when 2/3 of Spain was under Islamic rules. The palace left me speechless; Considering when it was built, I have never seen anything like it. It [View Full Entry]

Cordoba: We visited the great mosque (in Spanish called Mezquita). it was built in 712AD ( yes 712AD). It’s the biggest mosque in the world since and still is. The brochure says it has 1000 colossal pillars and I would have believed if it says 10000. Unfortunately the Christians Catholics have destroyed the original artworks to transform it into a Cathedral. I’m not sure they succeeded. The Jewish quarter has been well preserved offering a lot of restaurants and small hotels. We enjoyed a good afternoon going up and down the narrow streets of the Kasbah. We stopped at wh [View Full Entry]

Carmona: Some 50km from Seville, the small town of Carmona stands on the highest point of a flat plaine. The day we visited it, the visibility was very good we could see 50 miles in the distance. The Moorish fortress is even higher and should offer a greater view of the countryside. The town has two entrance known as Cordoba and Seville gates. We parked the van by Cordoba gate and went on exploring the narrow streets of this delightful Moorish town. It’s my dream little town, if I was born here, I would never want to live nowhere else. Seville: [View Full Entry]
