Week 5 in Conil-de-la-Frontera culminated with Andalusia day. This is celebrated on the 28th February each year and has been so since the referendum on the same day in 1980 when Adalusia became an autonomous community of Spain. The Campsite filled to capacity and the party started on Friday and continued for much of the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camping La Rosaleda – full for the Andalusia weekend<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We have entertained ourselves locally with a variety of walks, cycle rides, quiz night, yet more Spanish lessons and meals out in the local area and also at the campsite restaurant. In the next few days we head off to Seville for a long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch at El Nautico, Tuna filo parcels<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We don’t just learn a little bit of basic Spanish at the lessons but we also find out about the local markets and the fresh produce. The picture above (of the filo Tuna parcels) remined me of one lesson learnt by one of the German “students”. She had been persuaded to buy “fresh Tuna” at a local market. Yet in this region, freshly caught Tuna is only available In May and June. Her purchase had been defrosted frozen Tuna sprinkled with a little water…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The salad (top dish) was excellent as usual, with large prawns or Langostinos. We also order Tortillita camberones which is the above dish but with the small shrimp cooked inside the “pancake”. Our waitress recommended we have the same dish but with Langostinos – a good suggestion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More views from one our walks from El Palmar back to Conil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve had a lot of Spanish food recently and decided we’d like something a bit different – Pizza maybe – it’s been a while. We searched Conil, looked at the Tripadvisor recommendations but all were closed. We decided to sample the Menu del Dia at Verde y Blanco. A great choice and good value at 12 Euros a head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final day of this blog entry, we headed into town with some shopping requirements, followed by Pizza for lunch… Except the Pizza restaurants were closed AGAIN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We headed to El Pasaje – I think – it’s just opposite the burger place, “The Good Burger”. We ate various Tapas, the highlight being Rosalind’s choice of Dodatitos (possibly) – raw but smoked sardines!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way back, a little bit of Geocaching. Found two caches – here’s Moe with the one she located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
