On Friday we moved on to Tarifa, the most southerly point of Europe. The site we were at was only 15km from Africa. This area is really popular with wind surfers and wind kiters and not really an area for sunbathing on the beach.  We stayed on the site for a couple of nights and then moved along the beach about 500m to a wild camping spot. The police came round a few times and one morning at 8am they did sound their siren but nobody seemed that bothered so we stayed another night.

We left Tarifa on Wednesday and headed for Seville. We stayed about 10km outside Seville at Don Hermanas at Camping Villsom. It was really cold there and the shower block did not have a door on it, it was absolutely freezing. On Thursday we took the bus to Seville and went on the open top bus tour. I ended up with gloves , a scarf and an extra jacket on. The tour was good though and it included 2 walking tours with a guide, one tour round the Santa Cruz area and one round Trianna . In between the walking tours we went to the bullring and did the guided tour there. Seville is really worth a visit and I would love to go back there.

On Friday we moved on to El Rocio which is south west of Seville about 100k. It is a funny little town the streets are covered in sand, impossible to cycle through it’s like cycling on a beach. The town is like the old Wild West, lots of post and rails outside houses and shops to tie up your horse at. We went for a look around late afternoon and got a bit lost as all the streets look the same. We stopped to ask directions from a man with a 2 mule buggy and he pointed us in the direction of the church and Main Square. 2 minutes later he came along with his mules and buggy and asked if we would like to get in the buggy and he would take us to the church. So disregarding the rules about not getting into a vehicle with a stranger off we went. On Saturday we went back to the town and had a better look around. During the year there are religious pilgrimages to this town when about a million people can turn up. They arrive by wagons pulled by oxen, mules or horses. That would have been good to see.

Today we are moving on heading back to Benidorm via Tarifa, Gibraltar and along the coast line.
