Eurotrip 5, 2016 – Day 30, Onwards and upwards…

Standard

We arrived in Granada around 12:15 after just over two and a half hours on the road. Not bad for a 130 mile trip but as always, the roads are excellent and no traffic delays.

We joined the A7, direction Almeria and then picked up the A92 all the way to Granada. The landscape was mountainous and not the easiest of tows on a very windy day and ascending to more than 1000 meters on a number of occasions.

The Sierra Nevada are still snow covered and on arriving in Granada, the snow covered mountains are still visible in the near distance. It is a most bizarre experience because the daytime temperature in Granada is 30 degrees celsius plus!

The campsite is Reina Isabel, located on the northern edge of La Zubia and just 20 minutes by frequent bus service to the centre of Granada. The site has around 40 – 50 pitches and they are small… We have one of the largest pitches on the site (courtesy of our lunchtime arrival) and there is no possibility of erecting the awning.

We did however manage to hang up a tarpaulin from the rear of the caravan under which we can keep the BBQ and chairs – some rain is forecast during our one week stay here.

 

 

 

I’ll discuss more about the site later save to say that the reviews highlighting the “grumpy” owners are all true. They are efficient and will help out just so long as you ask the right questions. We have tickets booked to the Alhambra for Friday (and no, I don’t mean the theatre at Bradistan).
