Back to Bessie for lunch and empty then 3 hour drive down to the coast. Mile's of olive trees and grapevines with lots of new plantings as well as established trees as far as the eye can see.
Snow on the top of the mountains near Antequera, glad we don't have to go up there. Although we did drive up a 7% gradient through the lower tree covered ranges then of course back down another 7% gradient. Uh oh those snow covered hills are getting closer, light dusting clearly visible.
Stopped for diesel €1.23 just got €20 16ltrs.
We see the sea...with powder blue skies through the clouds as we drive along the non commercial coast to Alazcala. Plan A park too small...2 camper vans filled the tiny area.
Into Nerja, down a very steep, narrow drive to a large parking area, several motorhomes and cars here, it's free and ok for tonight.
As we were going out to explore met an English couple from Cornwall who were going I to the movies and offered to show us the way. They had rented an apartment in Frigiliana for 6 months then travelling in their 6m motorhome. Took us to a bakery, we both bought bread €1 for a fresh seed loaf and were given a sample of xmas cake filled with chocolate mouse ...delicious. They told us where to go to get down to the water front and great coastal views and they went I to their movie.
They also told us there was a bus at 10.30 up to Frigiliana if we wanted to go.
Walked down and wow what a lovely unspoiled, Spanish village, lots of restaurants and bars but it didn't feel over commercialised, very pretty place.
We had baby squid and octopus €4.50 each, Tony had a beer and I had a coffee, it was very cold.
Walked back to Bessie, it started to rain slightly, had fish, chips and Brussels for dinner.
