Previously on day 3, we had travelled some 350 miles from Santander to Caceres and it had taken 7.25 hours, which included one stop for fuel and a second combined stop for lunch and more diesel. Today we had a shorter journey of 250 miles.

After yesterday’s drive and a few beers watching the World Cup final (devoid of any stresses associated with following England), sleep came easy and by 09:00 today (Monday) we were ready to drive the final leg south to Conil de la Frontera.

A similar story to the prior day – one mid-morning break for fuel and an early afternoon lunch break just south of Seville. A mostly un-eventful day (apart from a near collision with a maniacal coach driver), we arrived at Camping La Rosaleda around 14:30.

We received a warm welcome at reception and booked onto out usual pitch where we will stay for around 6 to 8 weeks of our 90 day stay.

The site is surprisingly busy and the weather just superb with the daytime high today of between 21 and 23 Celsius. However, our pitch was sodden and muddy – a result of torrential rain and storms which have beset this region for at least the last 3 weeks. Always worth noting that lovely weather in Spain is not guaranteed over the winter months.

After a quick wash of the caravan, which had turned a mucky grey / black colour, we headed to the bar for a couple of drinks and dinner. Desert was a “something” Pedro Ximenez.
