No blog updates for a few days because, frankly, we've got nothing to add! The campsite is generally very quiet, although pretty full, mostly Germans with a generous smattering of Brits plus representatives of other European nations - although haven't spotted any Scandinavians, perhaps they're all in Morocco? Many of the residents seem to be here for a longer term, having alternative means of transport, although there are a few changeovers every day of course.
The beach isn't much, mostly shingle and gravel, and doesn't seem to be hugely popular. The only access to the village is back along the steep cliffside road and there's nothing there anyway - if you want to get away from it all but still have access to good facilities this is a good spot. There is a swimming pool, simple restaurant and a "supermarket" for basics so if you are happy making your own entertainment it's ideal.
The weather has been fine since we got here with bright sunshine and temperatures as high as 22C, remaining relatively warm overnight too. The only downside is that the shading over the pitches means we don't get the full benefit of the sunshine, it really only being a few hours after lunch having the best exposure.
But we are happy enough just relaxing, glad to be here rather than suffering the storms and snow back in the UK. There is plenty of room to walk Jamie, although he's really not getting enough exercise, disturbing us most nights.
As I write this we're going through a 36 hour period of strong winds but it's still 19C. Because of this we've decided to stay here for a few days longer, not wanting to risk being unable to find somewhere that is reasonably protected. All the campsites seem to be full - had to sweet talk the receptionist to let us stay longer - and all the wild camping spots appeared to be crammed although we haven't actually investigated any.
Our plan is to move on Friday, mainly because we really need a big supermarket shop, then head back north a short distance. Our friends are due to collect their new motorhome next week and we've promised to offer our assistance and company for a few days shakedown. Thereafter who knows?
