Everything happens for a reason. Or so Calv likes to say. Well today this was proved beyond doubt! We had our first failure today, in that we got to our first choice of campsite and it was full. It…

I'm a middle aged accounting tutor looking for my own mild adventures with my other half before it's too late..... I took the plunge and organised a year long sabbatical in 2017 (a year with no pay!!), sold the house and my car and am ready to go :) Towards the end of my year off I decided to give up full time work completely and go freelance to enable us to travel more :) So far, so good!

‘Never go on trips with anyone you do not love’ – Ernest Hemingway

So true!!

Okay, we have now been at Cabopino for 6 weeks and our feet are definitely itching to move on.

We are leaving on Monday with a plan to spend a couple of days in a free parking area on the beach (we’ve already seen it and there is a typical Spanish bar a few steps away as well as a castle – also a lovely marina about a 5 minute walk away. Perfect :) ) We will then move on for 1 night to a parking area (again free) in the mountains of Casares.

This will be our first experience of ‘wild’ camping and we’re quite excited, although a little sad to be leaving the familiarity and friendships of Cabopino.

From there we’re intending to head around the coast to Tarifa and Cadiz and then coming back towards the south coast via an inland site near Antequera and El Torcal – we’re really looking forward to this part of the trip and will probably stay there for at least a week (lots of walking and exploring planned)

So I am trying very hard to get up to date as I know I’ve been very lax recently. I’ve been busy haven’t I? Doing nothing!

But I do have things to tell you about, so please keep reading :)
