Weather. Cold front still causing David’s hair
to stand on end.
We decided to try the
aire at Merida. In France aires
are very popular, they are areas at the edge of towns or villages where
campervans can camp up for a small parking fee in the hope that the happy
campers will spend money in the local shops and restaurants. They aren’t so popular here and when we
stopped at the one in Merida it turned out to be a car park used by the police
to store cars!
But the Roman remains
were worth a look. Apparently they
are about the best conserved remains outside Rome. The amphitheatre is still used for concerts etc. Must be very special.
So we nearly stayed at
the aire but decided to keep heading south. Found a campsite near a small town called Monestaria. Sat nav sent us down an unmade road,
which crashed our crockery and toppled our half full tea pot over. So we stupidly had another look at sat
nav and it came up with a campsite in the town. The roads were so narrow that we walked the route holding
sat nav in front f us. We passed a
square with a café offering tea and gin.
Very tempting but there was only a brick wall at the end of sat nav’s
route so we couldn’t stop. But we
nearly did!
But what we have done is to stop at an absolutely bonkers place called El Rocio where 1mill Spanish Roma people will descend in 2 weeks time for a big festival.......When the wifi settles I'll post some pics.
