Well we finally made it out of Benidorm and spent two days back at Gata de Gorgos with Joe and Marlene. We were well looked after, Marlene is a fantastic cook and Joe is a good barman. We left Gata de Gorgos with Lemons, Grapefruits and Kumquats all picked by ourselves out of the garden. Also some wild garlic which was picked while out walking Morag and Hamish the basset hounds. Marlene also gave us a jar of the yummiest ever homemade lemon curd, which is almost finished boohoo, and a jar of homemade kumquat chutney, great with pate, what a pair of scroungers. So, who can we visit next? Look out it could be you!!!!!

Moving on we are back at Oropesa del Mar where we spent some time in November. On Tuesday morning we were up at about 5am along with our neighbours to take in our awning as the winds were really strong. Late morning we cycled to Benicassim, about 15km from Oropesa, along a track called the Via Verde and had a really nice lunch, Kev had cows cheeks!. Haven’t really been up to much else, cycling to town to the square for coffee, visiting the beautiful gardens here and walks on the beach. At night we go to sleep to the sound of the waves, soooooooooo relaxing.

Tomorrow we are moving on heading north up the coast not sure yet where we will be stopping, will let you know once we get there.
