Dolores the long route and family stuff…

Standard

We cycled to Dolores for bread in the morning. This was no quick trip as we had decided to detour via the local nature reserve, Parc Natural El Fondo. This is very close to Sheppards rest and offers many km of off-road cycling.

The route back took us through San Felipe Neri which looks like a one horse town with restaurant Casa Harry in the centre. I think we might be back to Casa Harry for lunch one day.

Torreveija beckoned in the afternoon. A friend of mine has a place in Torreveija and we wanted to swing by and take a look. Again the satnav delivered us bang on without fuss.

Later in the day, we were assigned a mission by Moe’s sister to check out a restaurant in Torreveija where one of her daughters is working for the summer.

This time Moe hadn’t done her homework properly and whilst the instructions “head past the harbour and you’ll arrive at the bar” were technically accurate, the bar was 4km past the harbour AND we had parked up in the northern side of Torreveija. Eventually we abandoned, headed back to the car and drove there.

All was in order and a couple of cold beers just the job.
