We left Torre Del Mar in the middle of a thunder storm but there was no rain. We went to a site just outside Marbella at Cabopino. The site was quite big and was nearly full, mostly brits who weren't that friendly. The thunder continued there and it was so loud Blossom was shaking. We had torrential rain all night. The next day we took the bus to Marbella and had a stroll around the old town and then along the beach front. Quite an expensive place. On Sunday we took a picnic and cycled to the beach at Cabopino. It was quite disturbing as there was a naked Spaniard parading about the beach showing off his muscle!! to all the women passing by. Would have definitely been arrested on Aberdeen beach.
Moved on on Monday and drove to the top the of the world, an altitude of 1,065m, where we visited Ronda. It was freezing, there was ice in the puddles but Kev still wore his shorts and t shirt. Really enjoyed our day in Ronda apart from the fact that my cash card had stopped working!!!!! Another Griswald moment, overuse I think. We travelled down the mountain to just outside Estepona. The views on the way down were really good of the Rock of Gibraltar, only 45km from where we are now. The site we are at is Parque Tropical and our plan was to stay two nights and head for Gibraltar but we had to wait for a new cash card, which arrived on Friday. No point in moving on until Monday as the shops in Gibraltar close at 1.30pm on Saturday and are closed on Sunday. We have quite a long list of stuff we want to get from the shops in Gibraltar like M & S and Morrisons. We will be wild camping on Gibraltar so will not be able to blog for a few days. We did take the bus into Estepona and again did the tour of the old town and the beach front, had some really, really nice tapas, cheap as well.
I think if anyone gets their muscle out on Aberdeen beach the horizontal rain and sna would make short work o it!
