The weather has been a little mixed so far on this trip. Daytime high temperatures have rarely exceeded 12C or 13C and many overnight lows in the low single digits. In between this cold fine weather there has been some warmer weather, but coupled with persistent heavy rain.
Moe and I have walked into Conil a several times and sampled coffee and cake at the cafe in Atalaya park.
My first bike ride was over to Roche and along the cycle track through the pine woods; a quick check-in to the port of Conil, to find out when one of our favourite restaurants will open. Alas, El Nautico has no information about this either at the restaurant itself nor on their Facebook page.
Spain is always appreciative of abundant rain during the winter months to replenish the reservoirs and water aquafers. It won’t be disappointed with the rainfall over the last 6 weeks. It’s rained a lot since the start of December and the pine forest is starting to look like a local wetland. So wet in fact, that the Romeria San Sebastian festival, scheduled for today, 18th January (Sunday) has been postponed for a week.
Friday night at the Campsite restaurant was “Rock and Roll night”. A sell-out, as is normal. The food was plentiful (too much in reality) and just 14 Euros for a nice 3-course meal. Spaghetti Bolognese to start, Pork Knuckle for the main course and carrot cake for desert.
