We are parked up at Camping "Playa De Mazzarron" at Bolnuevo, about 25k west of Cartagena. We're next to a long sandy beach and a "lively" village which is not too lively in November but which has a Spar shop stocking everything you could possibly need and a lot of stuff you wouldn't know what to do with.
Yesterday we spent the day with our Daughter's parents-in-law in La Coveta Fuma just north of Alicante. They have a lovely house overlooking the sea and after a lazy lunch on the terrace they showed us around the area and found for us the elusive euro pin adaptor we've needed on the sites we have stopped at lately. They have a motorhome too, about twice the size of ours and have been far further afield than we have and it was good to pick up tips and advice from them. The night before that we stayed at a pretty scuzzy campsite at Gandia.
The site we are at now is full with over-winterers, mostly Dutch and German but we've just had an interesting chat with an English couple who have spent the last 9 years traveling around Spain and Portugal. They are now semi- permanent here and gave us a few more tips on the climate in different parts of Spain during the winter months. Today was very hot and sunny with a breeze from the mountains behind us but as soon as the sun drops down so does the temperature and it's quite chilly now.
Oh yes, we saw the flamingos today on the inland saline lakes near Torrevieja. Flamingos on one side of the road and enormous piles of salt on the other.
The only place I can find wi fi on this site is in the social room and I have 20 mins free. I am sharing the room with 4 tables of Dutch women playing some serious games of dominoes but very quietly. I don't think it's fives and threes they're playing!
