Finally, after being away for over 18 months, we are heading back to Spain. Yippeeeee!!!
Bessy, our new caravan is turning out to be very comfortable, Benny (the lovely red BMW convertible) has been replaced with a much more practical towing vehicle, a Kia Sorrento. Just don’t ask why!!!
Pictures and more details will follow, as we set off into the sun and settle down in the lovely town of Benicassim, just above Valencia.
We had an amazingly smooth crossing around the notorious Bay of Biscay, stopping overnight in Zaragoza, before arriving in Bonterra Park by MOnday lunch time.
We’ve been on our pitch for over a week now, it’s so lovely to be somewhere familiar and surrounded by people we know and to be able to sit outside in the sun during the day! Happy hour has been extended to 3 hours a day, bit too long if you ask me! The restaurant still does Menu del Dia, 3 courses plus a drink for about £10, and the same happy friendly staff that we knew 2 years ago are still here, plus a few more new happy faces.
Bonterra Park is just outside Castellon, Valenciaregion, in the town of Benicassim, famous for it’s summer music festivals and the Paella festival in January every year. Several changes have been made to the campsite, bringing it up to a higher standard than before. We have found ourselves a large pitch on the sunny side of the Calle (road) and have spent nearly a week setting up the new awning, with a kitchen and dining area.
Now the domestics are sorted, we’ve joined in activities, starting with tai chi on the beach in the morning – gentle exercises on the sand whilst loooking at the rolling waves and breathing in fresh saline air. We then walk along the seafront and return to the site, clocking up our first 5000 steps of the day 🙂
Our bikes have been serviced and we are ready to start exploring!
