Looks like I got a bit behind with the blog and there are a few days missing prior to our departure from Conil de la frontera. Two thirds of our “winter allowance” have been spent at Camping Rosaleda and tomorrow we set off to Torrox and Camping El Pino.

By late afternoon we had finished the final preparations for our departure. The bikes were on top of the car, the awning was all packed away and the caravan orientated for a quick departure. We completed our preparations in time to spend the late afternoon “en la casa de Richard” to celebrate his birthday.

Apart from some fine Chicharrones, salami and alcoholic beverages, the pie and cakes were all from the award-winning bakery in Chiclana – La Cremita. There was a tuna / tomato and a goats cheese / caramelised onion empanada. Both were delicious but in particular, the goats cheese and onion “pie” was truly outstanding.

Moe would disagree entirely and proceeded to sample just about every cake on offer. In most instances not for the first time this trip!

Yet again Moe is being entertained by a “northern” contingent. Four of us originally from Yorkshire, one just across the border at Clitheroe and Moe from darn sarth, Somerset…

Earlier in the week, it seems we enjoyed rather a lot of eating. Carnival community meal on Friday.

Lunch in Conil at Verde y Blanco.

Wednesday we caught the bus to Vejer and ate at El Califa, one of the best restaurants in the area and having missed the planned bus back to Conil had a couple of additional hours to explore this pretty white village. Some of the streets and views into the house patios are simple stunning.
