29th April Our neighbours were still there in the morning & hadn’t left early despite our hopes. Still, it was a glorious day & the weather forecast said it would be downhill from late evening so we walked the entire width of the beach (Playa Joyel) having a paddle in the ‘cool’ water most of the way. We enjoyed the sunshine whilst we could & before it disappeared behind the blue Mercedes APC, it really was smashing & we had a lovely relaxing time for our last non travel day; couldn’t have asked for more.... read more

28th April Not a bad start to the day. We decided to leave the bikes & walk around the beach to Isla, the next village along the coast. We had to get our sandals off & wade across the river that emptied across the sands. Nothing there apart from a couple of big hotels, holiday apartment blocks, cafes & restaurants most of which were closed; 10 minutes & we walked back & had a late lunch & read again. Early afternoon a Spanish couple turned up & parked next to us on the shade side, no problem. Later in the afternoon another couple were wandering about & noted the pitch number on the other side of us. This site is huge but first class & must have 200 motorhome pitches available to choose from; you guessed ... read more

26th April What a night! Not what I would have meant 40 years ago but the weather...it rained solidly all night & so loud it kept waking us up constantly. An awful nights sleep, but we woke at 7.30am, I made tea & we commented how early people were leaving..until Cathy realised that my fitbit watch was on UK time & we were an hour behind...it was now gone 9am. Ha! No worries, away in between the rain & off east to Noja about 3 hours away along the coastal motorway. The rain hammered down most of the journey, no wonder it’s called the green coast, Costa Verde. The peaks of the Picos de Europa were still covered in snow. Into Noja, the site we used to use when the children were young, obviously, us reliving ... read more

27th April Bit of rain in the night but it poured stair rods when we got up & threw in some hail for good measure. Brrr, but we can’t complain. After breakfast it cleared up long enough for us to go for a wander on the beach & around the rocks & little cliff that Daniel used to jump off as a boy. Got back in time to miss the showers again. After lunch a Spanish couple were wandering about looking for a pitch which took them the best part of an hour. They looked like dancers off a cruise ship! He was wearing an orange shell suit (yes really) & she a black top with spray on leggings. Less Toreville & Dean, more Pratt & Whitney... Later the clouds disappeared & we were able to ... read more
