Wed 28 Feb 11° Elche, Alicante - Calp

Snow in Lincoln and Barcelona  ! Oh well nothing we can do about the weather, hope it has cleared by the time we get there.

Driving on today, past a massive BMX  track with kids having the time of their life, good fun.

We had 3 options to stay in Benidorm, drove around, there was a street market so had to go arojndmthe a diversion but it enabled us to have a good look, up close and personal with the largest British population outside of UK....Lots of markets, pubs, bars boasting a variety of shows, so many people on mobility scooters and pedestrians that rule...walking out onto the crossing without even looking....this place is all about them....drinking, eating and making merry. Arrived at Plan A...camp full . ...wild camp nearby in car park.....full, plan B camp.....full.....plan C camp .....full. Drove around some more,  heard lots of different British accents this is certain a very bustling town.......so with no room at the Inn we came, we saw, we drove on by. Definately not in the least bit Spanish.





Lovely coast road as we drove through Altea and up into the Altea hills and on to Calp. Tiny place on the map but a bit town with it own massive rock. Claire had recommended a camp near a big grizzly bear €8......bit difficult with no coordinates ....but amazingly we found it.

Their pitches with Ehu were all taken, but we found  a nice pitch up towards the back in the sun.

New site, with good showers and toilets,  it's own bar but the new price is €12.

We went for a walk, and just on the road a little block of restaurants,  Indian, Japanese and a Texan bar and grill with the big grizzly bear outside. Great little complex. A bit further down the hill there was a German supermarket,  we bought a few bits. What a very handy set up.

Chicken,  chips,  courgettes  and cauli in pepper sauce superbly cooked and presented by the skipper, delicious.
