Wed 7 Feb 10° Vera Beach - San Juan de los Terreros

We sat up till midnight watching episodes of The Killing...very good series.

Lovely sunny day but still the cold wind.

Drove on today along the coast road, very baron, stoney hilly landscape, then fields of lettuce being picked by workers for market.

Lunch at beach, but sign saying no moho camping. I had 5 possible stops along the coast, but either not suitable, full or no camping signs.

Onto Aguilas Harbour,  several motorhomes here.

Went for a walk, met a girl advertising the Castle restaurant up on the hill, menu del dia 4 course €10 with free bus up and back. Carried on along the harbour, found a sunny spot in a cafe and had a coffee ,  decided to go to the castle for the menu .  Back to Bessie, got gussied up, locked up walked across the car park....sign saying no moho camping. Most of the other motorhomes had left while  we were on our walk. Decided not to risk it....so got back in and drove to Aire at Mercadona supermarket which had a waste point.

Drove, round......and round......back.....and forth.....and dried and were told no have to go back to service station aire €7 with waste and water.

Arrived aire looked full, queue at water and waste area in service station. Very nice French and in front had paid €2 at service station for the key, said he would share so Tony gave him  €1 and we used the facilities....while there a German lady waiting to empty said this Aire not very nice, go back 3 km to Caroline Bay free.

So we drove back, found 3 areas where motorhomes were parked on very rough, stoney or sandy ground, drove very carefully through the whole area but it was pretty full and we didn't feel comfortable on the surface. So again we drove on....getting late now but we fluked this place, just saw motorhomes parked up, so pulled in behind. It was warm and sunny with no wind.

Lunch stop

Harbour Aguilas.....we're going to stay, then saw no camping sign

Fish, chips,  courgettes and tomatoes for dinner.

Sat up till 1am watching the rest of The Killing series....very gripping...thank you Jenna and Alex.....will try to ration the season 2 episodes haha.



Lots of motorhomes at the end either side, soooo glad we did come here, there was a terrific thunder storm with very heavy rain....wheewww so relieved not at the beach on that sandy stoney ground.
