We are parked up at Los Escullos campsite near San Jose in the Gata-Nijar national park. I'm sure that sounds very exotic and it probably would be if it wasn't cold, wet and windy. This site was recommended by a guy at the last campsite we stayed on but we feared the worst as we approached the site over the last 20miles or so. We turned a corner coming over the Sierra Cabrera and saw what we thought was a bay or large lake with the sun glinting in our eyes. Another couple of hundred metres and we realised it was a sea of poly tunnels. A few miles further on and a whole plain as far as we could see on either side of the road was just mile upon mile of poly tunnels. In a "Parque Natural" no less. The most disturbing feature is the plastic just lying about where the tunnels have been ripped by the wind. That stuff is never going away.

One of the fascinating things about this blog is we can see where the viewing traffic comes from. Mostly UK, obviously, some from Spain, France, N America even. And someone from South Korea!
So Sir or Madam, this is for you,

안녕하세요, 좋은 하루 되세요

  4. Hi you two, glad you are still enjoying it. Loved the pic of Phil doing toenails - I'm glad she hasn't let standard slip. You can take the girl out of Bingley ...

    All is well here. Not too much happening here on the house front, although the architect has gone off to do plans for the extension.

    Your post is pretty boring - your credit card statement is here and stuff about a pension that will have to wait till you get home, other than that nothing of interest.
    Mo has almost finished the work on the cellar and Jess has found the hoover!!
    I have only 3 more Fridays to work before I go part time woohoo!
    I got the sweets you asked for Phil, 2 for a tenner! If you don't want both I'm sure I can find a home for the other one!
    Till I catch up next week - keep travelling xxxxx
