The weather has been a bit mixed both prior to and including this week. Some nice sunny days with temperatures around 16C to 18C mixed in with some really wet and windy days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday the 14th January was a dry day and we headed to one of the local beaches in the van for a picnic. In the afternoon, Joe then headed off towards Trafalgar along the cycle path, looping back through El Palmar and Conil promenade. The new bike electric conversion is working extremely well.<\/p>\n\n\n

In the evening we headed up to the bar and ate with John (he’s on the right, out of view!)<\/p>\n\n\n

On Tuesday, Moe and I set off for a cycle ride towards La Barroso, but due to inclement weather, stopped near Novi Sancti Petri for a picnic in the drizzle. We just made it back to the campsite before the heavens opened and we endured a very wet and windy night.<\/p>\n\n\n

The poor weather continued into Wednesday so we drove to Jerez and the large out of town shopping centre where we loaded up with goodies from Decathlon, Ikea and LeRoy Merlin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chiclana has always had an English butcher whilst we have visited this region of Spain, which, since the advent of Brexit has proven useful to buy English sausages and bacon. Steve actually lives in Gibraltar but this year he has abandoned the commute and his butcher’s shop in Chiclana, but still takes click and collect orders through Facebook. Order by Tuesday pm and it’s available to collect on Thursday lunchtime near to San Andre golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We picked up our order last Thursday and the weather was ok for a BBQ in the evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch was a picnic at the Port of Conil.<\/p>\n\n\n

Friday was another wet and windy day and the only respite was a communal meal in the evening – Moroccan chicken, a typical Moroccan starter and also cake, followed by a “Belly” dancing show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday was much drier but still a cold wind was present. We managed a walk to the beach and a swift beer at the beach bar shack.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sunday was the festival and procession of Romeria de San Sebastian, 2024. We were finally getting over our various colds and viruses and decided we didn’t need to be anywhere close to a large gathering of people.
