Morning and another Spanish lesson. This is a very difficult language to learn – or maybe I’m just getting old!
After the lesson, we headed off on our bikes over to the Port of Conil for lunch at El Nautico. This is probably our favourite restaurant in the Conil area and about an eight mile walk. We took the bikes on this occasion which was much easier!
We only ate Tapas and salad for lunch as we had booked into the communal meal for the evening. This evening it was veal burger, Spanish style.
Tuesday we returned to LeRoy Merlin to buy some outdoor lengths of coloured LED strip light, complete with remote control. These didn’t quite work out as intended and were not the expected / hope for quality and a further trip to LeRoy Merlin ensued the following morning to return bits and pieces which didn’t work. Fortunately Spanish lessons had covered how to return stuff so it was all fine with one side of the conversation!
Wednesday evening we entered the Quiz night again, with Jennifer and Richard from England. A stunning performance bagged third place and we were only a couple of points off top spot. A perfect first round mind.
Thursday we took the bus to El Palmer for lunch and then walked back on the coast to Conil.
We wiled away a few hours until lunchtime watching the surfers before lunchtime.
On the walk back, we detoured past the tower which is home to some breeding pairs of the Northern Bald Ibis. We didn’t see any of the distinctive birds on this occasion but here’s a link to our last visit in Spain when they were all too visible.
Eurotrip 8, 2020 – Day 38 to 40, Walking El Palmar… – Caravan Ramblings
On this occasion there was a flock of small ground birds, probably wagtails and this chap was taking a keen interest. We think he is a Eurasian Sparrow Hawk but there is some conflicting views on this. I will leave the comment section open on this post for a while so feel free to express an opinion!
Lovely warm day on Friday with a BBQ in the evening.
Saturday we walked around Conil, and watched Rugby in the afternoon. Sunday we cycled to La Barrosa and ditto Rugby in the afternoon.
