On Friday 12th March we checked into La Llosa campsite – Camping La Llosa – Cambrils (camping-lallosa.com) – for three nights’ which is adjacent to the town of Cambrils.  The campsite is compact, probably built in the 1960’s as it barely caters for today’s large travelling units, definitely not ours, an 8.5m caravan on the […]

On 9th March we checked into the Alannia campsite for three nights which is near Torrevieja. I was not impressed with check in.  We arrived just before 6pm, Reception had closed at 5pm, security gave us a map with our plot number.  As pleasant as he was we had no information on what was or […]

Our four and a half months’ stay from Saturday 25th October 2020 through to Tuesday 9th March 2021 have flown by.  We’ve never been away from home so long, been away from the UK through Winter or Christmas missing our family and friends or indeed travelling in our caravan and living in just one room […]

We’ve now been out of the UK for just over a month and completed our third week at Cabopino.  Many of you, knowing we are each busy doers, are asking if we are not yet bored – our response is “actually, not yet”!  Our stay at Cabopino is living the dream and not a holiday […]

The idea of the local lockdown, in force since Tuesday, is an attempt to control the virus to attain some sort of normality for Christmas.  We mustn’t travel outside of the Andalucían region and there is a curfew between 10pm and 7am.  Whilst bars, restaurants and all non-essential businesses must close by 6pm, realistically all […]

It’s Sunday and at mid-day from my preferred almost totally horizontal position on my sun lounger (it doesn’t recline any further), catching and enjoying every Winter ray of sun, I watched some of the staff of Cabopino gather the sun loungers and occasional furniture from around the outdoor pool and drag them to a corner […]

As you are now aware, most evenings Steve, Stella and I take a stroll along the beach at Cabopino. Our preferred route is to turn right at Torre Ladrones (Thieves Tower) away from the Marina and towards Marbella. The tower is only about 15 meters high which, unbelievably, is the tallest watchtower along the Malaga […]

On speaking with Mags, the Scottish retired neighbour who sold up and bought a Motorhome having always wanted to do so, who told me about Mano, who gives Spanish lessons on Wednesday afternoons conveniently in the campsite bar, I found out from Mano’s wife that Jorge’s Bar – http://www.jorgesbarcabopino.com/ – located in Cabopino Marina holds […]

Strolling down to the beach around 4:30pm for our evening walk with Stella, Steve brought with a picnic blanket, chilled bottle of Rosé and pair of binoculars, kindly given to us by Cousin Martin.  Martin you have no idea how much those binoculars are being used. We set ourselves up on a dune (until the […]
