The Rain in Spain

Sunday was a bit wet and we cycled in to L’Estartit with Rosie and Tony, through the floods. A lagoon had appeared , engulfing the cycle path, where a stream which normally crossed under the cycle way had become blocked

Two Cats in a Boat

We arrived here at Camping Les Medes in Cataluña, one of our favourite sites, on Wednesday and found a nice corner for Mavis next to the garden and tennis court. Thursday was still sunny, and after a quick tennis knockabout

Anyone for Tennis?

Having visited the cut price sports shop at Benicarlo (two rackets, two balls…€17) we decided to christen the rackets on the astroturfed tennis court here at Ribamar. Luckily the guys who set up the courts for us …I think we

Vinaròs…the Gluttons tour continues.

As you can see from the clothing tastefully draped around Mavis, we have had a serious washing day. Nia did the washing bit, I was in charge of watching it dry in the hot Spanish sun. So pretty fair division

Cycling through the Orange Groves

On Friday we took a ride through the olive and orange groves surrounding the campsite. First stop Calig, where there is a lovely 30’s building, tiled on all sides, just on the right as you enter the village. About a

Camping L’Orangeraie

I took Penny and Colin out first thing to see the sunrise….not sure they were that impressed and to be fair, without any clouds, it wasn’t a great display. Later that morning we had a lovely surprise, a blog first,
