Day Fifty-one 4.5.05 We took the scenic route to San Pedro and then onto Marbella. We are camped about 12kms away from the town centre in a beach side resort called Cabopino. The site is nicely laid out and we have a pitch with pool view. This time the pool is functioning and we were able to take a well deserved dip before lunch. After lunch we took the short walk to the beach. There is a small marina with posh boats in and a selection of restaurant...

Day Fifty 3.5.05 We debated whether to drive into Ronda today or walk in. We decided it was just a bit too far to walk so jumped in the van leaving a pile of our stuff on the pitch to mark our territory, we had decided not to put op the awning this time as when we arrived it was really quiet.

We were informed that we had sat in the area designated for ice cream consumers only and t...

We took a drive to Cadiz as it wasn't really beach weather. It was so busy we thought that there might be a festival going on. We did our usual trick of parking on the edge of the city and walking in. It turns out that there was no festival but just normal Saturday tr...
