Tuesday 27th February – travel. Relax and walk **** Mojacar –
cloudy/rainy start but sunny later.
Woke to cloudy skies with some light rain so it was time to move on with
the original plan to look for a Mc Donald’s so I can post on my
windsurfing GPS site. Soon made it to Aguilas but lost the coast road and
ended up on a nice road through some barren hills. Found our way back to
the coast passing the forgettable Garrucha and on to Mojacar and it
didn’t look so nice with the sun not out but the campers like it as they
can park right by the sea. Stopped by a beach shower and filled up the van
with water before heading up a steep hill to Mojacar town which looked nice
on the way up, a collection of white houses perched on a hill top. Luckily,
we found a carpark before the streets got too narrow! It was a very steep
walk up to the church, yet another one open most unusual for Spain! I went
in while Mag stayed outside and made friends with a ginger cat with no
tail:) We continued up to the Miridor which offered good views of the coast
far below. We discovered it is a Bank Holiday tomorrow so decided to head
back to Garrucha Lidl for cake etc. It was then back to Mojacar seafront
which is very long and there are lots more English campers than we have
seen further north. We park up at the next beach where we had two nights
last year for lunch. After relaxing for a bit, the wind was picking up and
I was tempted to go windsurfing but nobody else was about and it was a
fraction off so we decided to walk back into Mojacar - the walk there is
great as there is an up and down path along the cliffs:) By the time we
reach the beach the wind has switched 180 degrees and dropped so it was
lucky I didn’t rig. We walked a mile along the water’s edge - the only
people on the beach, with the waves washing up the sand and the sun now out
so a jumper had to come off. It was then back along the prom checking out a
couple of the Chinese Euro stores, there are a few here each selling a huge
selection of crap!!! Mag thought about getting another Bum Bag to replace
the one that was stolen in Tossa but the quality was rubbish:( Back at the
van knackered it was too near tea for cake so had our take on Chinese
surprise a bit later (frozen prawns and veg from Lidl with a few extras,
noodles, Chinese five spice and soy sauce!) and had a bit of a sunset.
Weather supposed to be iffy tomorrow then really windy Thursday so not
looking great for windsurfing!
