Eurotrip 8, 2020 – Day 35 to 37, Puerto de conil…

Standard

Another glorious day with wall-to-wall sunshine and the daily high just above 20C.

Late morning we set out for the port of Conil, equipped with picnic and drone. This was our routing across the cliffs.

It’s a wonderfully clear day and perfect for some aerial coastal shots. What we hadn’t figured upon, was the curse of the seagull – just like home in East Devon.

As soon as the drone took off, seagulls appeared from all over the cliffs, making a huge racket and flying at the drone. The first flight ended prematurely without any footage but the drone returned to earth minus seagull damage!

The second flight was a little more successful and we gained some nice aerial shots of the coastline between Conil and the port of Conil.

Some of the pictures are stunning and really high definition. If you click on the picture, I’ve enabled these to load up at full resolution.

Finally we made it to the Port and refreshments at El Pastor, located within the perimiter of the working port of Conil. The place was packed and some of the fish dishes, looked, well, to put it politely, exotic.

Saturday evening and we had a BBQ back at the caravan.

Sunday and another lazy morning followed by a post lunchtime walk into Conil along the beach.

Even time for a beer on the way back at the “Shack”. Another beautiful day.

On the way back to the campsite, we noticed this rather pretty hedge. According to “plantnet” it is some kind of Jasmin, Probably “Common Jasmine”

In the evening, we booked tickets to see our favourite band – Pendragon – alas we miss most of the tour launching their new album because we are over here in Spain. All the European gigs are happening when we have guests in town. Hey ho, Manana.

Still, paid by 20 dollars and downloaded “Love over Fear, Pendragon”. Another timeless classic.

Monday was a total chill day. Some work in the morning, sun-bathing in the afternoon and guess what – our first communal meal this year at Rosaleda – Paella!

I’ll report back on it tomorrow…
