Weather: Well we've found scorchio and it's more a case of sweatio
We had 4 very peaceful nights down on the Costa de la Luz and little did we realise at the time that the sufer dude beach at El Palmer was one of the Times 20 secret Spanish beaches. It was good but not that good.
But it was getting hot so we decided to move on after 1 last night. Should have left earlier. First the lone ranger mozzie who seems to be living in a secret place in our van started his night time sortie. Then just after I'd fallen asleep through exhaustion after fighting the mozzie off and resigning myself to sweltering away in hiding under the covers, David woke me up searching the van for the source of a noise which he said was electricity arcing. Turns out it was the big pylon over the fence in the natural park and it had a red light flashing on top. But puzzle was over so we fell asleep for a little longer until the snapping and crackling got really loud and woke us up. Then there was an almighty bang and the power went off. That would have been OK but the pylon carried on snapping and crackling and popping. So we left our lovely little campsite before we popped too.
On to Ronda, which I remembered as a lovely little town from my visit 20 plus years ago with my friends Nicola and Wendy. But then all I really remembered, apart from the bridge, was crying with laughter as Wendy drove us up the windy roads without changing out of 4th gear. Not fair really to laugh at her as I couldn't drive because I'd broken a toe running out of the sea to avoid a jelly fish, which turned ot to be a carrier bag! Anyway, Ronda now seems huge but still has its charms.
The campsite we stayed in was so full of rules eg no TV, no radio, no music, no ball games and if you don't want peace and quiet go to another site, that we couldn't relax, so we moved on after 1 night.
Humillerado According to everything any tourist reviews, or tourist info and even the camp reception info said there were lost of cycle rides and walks near this campsite. But we could only find 1 map:
so we took a photo and had a nice little wander but moved on again after 1 night. With our track record we don't take risks.
The only thing I will remember is the receptionist at the campsite. He was almost cartoonishly handsome with quite a big head and large almond shaped eyes that even David remarked on. He was quite small and when we first saw him he was sitting in a chair with a huge pointed back to it that made him look like a little boy. I was instantly reminded of the prince from Shrek!
