Eurotrip 9, 2022 – Second week in Conil

Standard

A trip to Carrefour and Leroy Merlin at San Fernando took most of Tuesday. Leroy Merlin is truly the best DIY store we’ve frequented with B&Q not even in the same league. It even puts Lowes and Home Depot in the US to shame. You can find everything there and the lighting section is amazing. I can see some rolls of remotely controlled LED strip lighting heading back across the Bay of Biscay with us…

On Wednesday we walked to the Port of Conil and enjoyed a couple of beers at Restaurante El Pastor. This is a lovely 8 mile walk and it now appears that our favourite restaurant, El Nautico – also located at the port – has just opened.

On Thursday we walked into Conil and then back to the Campsite along the beach, as is customary stopping for refreshments at “The Shack”.

Friday and Saturday were spent locally. Joe received the new awning light and spent ages figuring out how to attach it to the caravan and make it all watertight. A communal meal of Pork ribs at the campsite Friday evening – absolutely first rate. A pleasant evening view across the swimming pool.

More Spanish lessons on Saturday and then a bike ride to La Barrosa on the Sunday.
