Not much happened yesterday apart from noisy Spaniards enjoying their Sunday - there appeared to be a group of them in motorhomes plus a caravan but thankfully they all cleared off during the afternoon and peace descended once again.
So today we move up to our reserved pitch at Camping Las Dunas in El Puerto de Santa Maria (just going to be called El Puerto from now on!). Breakfast, and we ran out of water but no matter, we managed to do the washing up, before setting off back to Algeciras where we needed to get a new leash for Jamie as the buckle broke. A quick call inevitably into Mercadonna as there's always something we need.
That done we headed back onto the A7 then shortly the A381 north to Los Barrios where we refilled the gas bottles and then settled down to a steady hour and a half drive north. Road was quite quiet but they haven't done any repairs to it so a lot of the time was dodging broken surfaces, some of which looked to have been "repaired" more than once. We could have taken the coastal road but it is much slower so we let TomTom make the decisions. Eventually we turned off towards El Puerto, picking up a Guardia (police) tail until well into the town, then worked our way round to the campsite.
As we had already made, and paid, our reservation checkin was very quick and we were soon escorted to our pitch in the main centre of the site. We were lucky to be given a place in full sun with few trees to obstruct it and settled in. It was soon pullovers off, mat down, chairs out and fill the water tank then lunch and that's it!
We have no plans to do much of anything for the next two weeks, apart from the usual domestics (we've a big pile of laundry to do), a visit to the Mercadonna supermarket next weekend and taking Jamie onto the fabulous beach just outside the campsite gates. So for the moment we won't be publishing a daily blog, just update as and when we think there's something to report.
