Coming back to Spain

View from Cabarceno

The ferry was booked for the 9th of July which was the same day we left the UK last year on the start of the European tour. Loading went well and we were soon in our stateroom, also known as an inside cabin, and ready for our cruise to Spain. Once again the sailing was perfect, the Bay of Biscay was flat calm and we saw dolphins swimming alongside the ship. We left the ship at about 18:00 and drove the short distance to Cabárceno where we spent the night.

In the morning it was off down the road to Aranda de Duero retracing our steps from February. Got to the Area, spent the night, got LPG and hit the road.

Missed the Repsol garage on the A-4 just south of Madrid so had to make a big detour again to Toledo to get LPG.

Arrived at Alcazár de San Juan. Stopped the night by the bull ring. Walked around the town had a beer and tapas in a couple of bars and listened to the music concert that was being held in the bull ring (from outside).

Stopped in Granada to get gas and arrived at Málaga Monte Parc around 18:00 and went straight onto our old pitch.

The swimming pool at Finca Gertrudis

In August we signed a lease for a finca with a pool near the village of Villafranco del Guadalhorce and Harvey went into storage at Malaga Monte Parc.  It is called Finca Gertrudis.
