These blog posts aren’t always in sequence. I’ve a long blog which I’m working on from our recent outing in Nellie, so this is a nice easy interlude.

Despite a rather mixed weather forecast, today turned out to be bright and warm if a little breezy on our cycle ride to El Nautico at the Port of Conil. Perhaps because it’s a Monday, and most restaurants are closed, El Nautico was extremely busy – or maybe the reputation of this fine restaurant is spreading.

Food and wine as always was excellent and every table has a great view across the harbour.

Our mainly off-road trail back to the campsite goes right by a new Autocaravana park, in a lovely rural location on the outskirts of Conil.

It is a mystical place. I’ve never seen the gates open and there’s only ever a couple of motorhomes visible above the high, closed fences. Today, there’s a large trailer parked next to the fence which appears to be some kind of luxury toilet block. Not bad facilities for a 5 place site.

Further along the perimeter wall there’s a little break in the fence and you can see that this five place park has ambition – it is akin to Dr Who’s Tardis.
