| Almerimar to Castellar - 191 miles |
Awoken by the sun
streaming through the gaps in the blinds – we're in a very sunny
spot - then wondered why there were so many guys standing around,
until the bread van turned up. An enterprising baker, taking an
opportunity! No facilities here of course so after breakfast just a
quick tidy up and on our way.
Todays task is to just
drive, our objective being to get as close as we can to Algeciras
ready to meet up with other Funsters tomorrow, so with TomTom set we
joined the A7, which we then remained on for almost the whole of the
day. Everybody back to work so the road was very busy but at least it
was quite scenic, the first half being through the coastal mountains
around the back of the large conurbations then onto the coast and the
“holiday strip” - miles and miles of hotels and apartments
intermixed with shopping centres, golf courses and thousands of
advertising hoardings. A lot of property companies pushing themselves
and we wondered if Brexit was causing much of a stir?
Around Benalmadina we
paused at a service area for lunch, programming our destination into
TomTom. We were heading for an aire we've used several times before,
far enough away from the popular area to be reasonably sure of a
place but only a 20 minute drive tomorrow. In due course the satnav
turned us onto a winding and narrow back road which cut off a corner
directly to Castellar de la Frontera. The aire was pretty full, more
so than we've seen before although there did look to be a group
travelling together, but we found a spot in the same place we've
always parked and got the kettle on – it's been quite a tiring
drive but in brilliant warm sunshine.
Shortly after the lady
from the van we were next to came round, having noticed our
MotorhomeFun sticker, to introduce herself as another Funster. Not
part of our group but having been with some of our older friends for
a few days we got some updates.
The rest of the day we
spent relaxing and getting ready for tomorrow.
