Tuesday morning we awoke bright and somewhat earlier than usual due to the noise from the port where we were parked up and, leaving our Seville not-much-sleepy spot, we headed up the A4 for our date with Antonio, the motorhome “surgeon".  Antonio greeted us with a handshake and pretty good English, immediately ushered us around … Continue reading A Brief Date With Antonio And Then It’s On Towards Portugal, via Huelva.

Last Thursday morning we awoke bright-eyed and bushy-tailed , brimmed our water tank and left our Conil De La Frontera pitch in the general direction of Cadiz. The run along the Costa De La Lutz was short and picturesque with very little traffic to slow us down and, before we knew it, we were driving … Continue reading Three Very Different Spanish Cities In Five Days…..And An Impending Appointment With Antonio The Fridge Repair Guy!

Monday morning dawned and still Sebo's fridge/freezer contents were not as cool -or frozen- as they ought to have been! Attempts to suss-out the problem yesterday had yielded nothing and we were left with no other option, as far as we could see, than to find a motorhome repair centre who may be able to … Continue reading Fridge Cost Concerns Mutes Birthday Celebrations !

Our first foray into Gibraltar was in a fume-driven Sebo - rumour had it that diesel was around 76p a litre in Morrison's (YES, there IS a Morrison's food store AND fuel pumps in Gibraltar!) and that, if you chose your time carefully to cross the Frontier, it was an easy transit. We, apparently, had … Continue reading Gibraltar – A Curious Mix Of Little England And Canary Wharf, Possibly?

Seriously, lads, there's way too many Irish bars on The Costa Del Sol!! Having had a more than pleasant meander down the mountain road from Alhama De Granada which, in fairness, has it's fair share of bars per capita (none of them Irish!), we hit Malaga and there seems to be a never-ending string of … Continue reading Have Irish Emigrants Taken Over ALL The Bars On The Costa Del Sol????

We had two choices for our route for today- either head South West to Alhama De Granada or South, back to the coast. We opted for the former as we've both agreed that we are more mountain than coastal people at heart. Alhama De Granada is a pretty historic town. Of Moorish origin, it suffered … Continue reading Full Moon At Historic Alhama De Granada

Our parking spot for last night and tonight was chosen for it's convenience to Granada and was recommended by the writers of a couple of blogs we've been following, so we decided that, since Granada is most definitely a "city" and thus off-limit to us as motorhomers, on the grounds of safety and  "we don't … Continue reading La Alhambra – More Palaces Than You Can Shake A Stick At!

Following yesterday's "wrong trail" debacle, enjoyable though it was, we awoke bright and late in a pretty cold Sebo - the outside temperature showed a mere 1.7C and it wasn't that much warmer inside! Heating was flicked on and a suitable waiting period ensued before either of us were brave enough to venture outside the … Continue reading Wham, Bam, We’ll Take Some Trevelez Ham..
