Having driven so far, so fast, we are staying put a bit longer. This means I’ve less to report back so I might have to make the blogs every other day to not bore you with repetition. Nothing seems to happen before 10 or sometimes 11am. We forget that the Spanish are more nocturnal than …

232 – Studies and yoga with a view
With a fast approaching deadline for my coursework we decided to stay put and enjoy the views. Having taken the pups for their morning walk along the beach our suspicions were confirmed, everyone was english, we have stumbled into an English enclave. Still we can totally understand why they choose to winter here, the view …
231 – Mural hunting
Whilst walking the pups on the beach, the clouds lifted and we got our first glimpse of Gibraltar. That settled it, we are heading west. Still if we visit we will no longer be able to state we haven’t been on British soil for almost 8 months! But firstly van chores of laundry and food …
230 – New Years on the beach!
N.B. for some reason it won’t let me attach photos so I will add them separately to FB. Waking in the mountains we soon discovered to our horror that we had run out of LPG and couldn’t make a cuppa! The nearest gas station was 35mins away at the coast so certainly not the end …
225 – 226 Thrillseeking walks, cave houses and gorges
Todays walk could be dangerous…you even have to wear a hard hat! According to reviews if the Caminito del Rey is sold out online you can still go early in the morning in the hope of getting one of the 50 spare day tickets. I’d asked the guide the day before and he suggested arriving …

224 – Boxing day Baby
My youngest turned one! Happy birthday Ernest 🐾🎂 We woke early and we had two presents for him…a beef wellington flavoured nyla bone and chameleon toy. His siblings stole both so I unearthed Mabels buried ox horn and he happily chewed on that. I was so relieved he was back to his normal bouncy happy …
220-221 Colourful Granada
Mark has been keen to visit Granada for months so I’d left all the planning to him. He was keen to stress it was a tootling about place, so he didn’t have my usual long list of sites to see. Thinking we wouldn’t be too long as it was Sunday and all the shops were …
219 – Am I a missing link?
Waking in the small town of Ochre we had a little potter around, saw its 7 towered ruins, lovely cathedral and a churros stall which had closed by the time I got out of bed. Mark swears he didn’t indulge while out with the dogs but that could be sugar in his beard. The main …
217 – Fried food and museums
Having been hiding out in the back and beyond for a few days, we decided to make the most of the city life and find a nice cafe. It seems you have to move quick as they sell out of croissants early at Cafetería-Panaderia Ana María . I managed to get one of the last …
214 – The road less travelled
Last night, I felt so thankful. I might not have a clue what TV or celebrity gossip is doing the rounds, but why would I want that when I can be nestled up playing skipbo with snoring pups (wish Jasper had joined us on the bed to). We were up and organised fairly early and …
