Vincci Mediterraneo Almeria

... it turned into sand and stones. We could barely walk the bikes. This seriously slowed us down. Whats worse is that it meant that we ended up on the grotty outskirts of Almeria as it got dark. Desperate for a place to sleep we went to check out under a motorway bridge. Whilst we were down there we saw some kids needlessly kill a goat with rocks and sticks. Not a great site to be honest. I still thought it would probably be alright to stay. They were only kids after all. Quote ...

I had to wean myseft away from the area, and the next day just drove a bit up the coast, past more un(der)-developed beaches at Escullos and El Playazo, and ended up staying in Las Negras, another fishing village which is sleepy by the water-front but with massive construction going on behind it.

Returned to San Jose. Next day drove around to the town of Cabo de Gata, saw the salt-pans, went up the the "Cape", saw the incredible beach of Cabo de Gata, had great lunch there, then went around to the beach at Monsul. Eventually decided I HAD to leave!! 

... who told me that he only stopped if someone rang the bell!! I said it was obvious I was a foreigner and that I'd bought the ticket asking to go to the airport. He shrugged and dropped me off at the next stop where I had to wait another hour for a return bus. I rang the bell three times when we re-approached the airport. Picking up the car, I drove into the countryside hills behind Almeria through miles of urban sprawl until eventually finding the motorway heading towards ...

... to drag myself away today after 10 days. I shall definitely return, as this has gone onto my list of great places alongside Loutro, Mazunte and Isla Holbox. A couple of days ago I rented a car to explore the area more thoroughly. On the first day I went up to the hills behind Almeria to an area known as "mini-Hollywood" where they filmed a raft of "Spaghetti Westerns" such as The Good, the Bad & the Ugly. (Also some of ...

Tortosa-Almeria Toget gikk som de gjør i Spania, ti minutt for seint. Jeg skreiv i boka mi og Petter sov. Turen gikk fort, snakket med de tyske lofferene, alt i alt gikk det fort. Da vi kom til Valencia, hadde vi en time til toget gikk. like ved stasjonen,var tyrefekter arenaen. Peter og jeg ville gå, det var show den kvelden med ledige billetter, men kjedelige Anna klatre å legge veto på det også. Skjedde lite, jeg ble tilbudt heroin, da spillte jeg tulling og latet som jeg ...

... bij een vriend om de tijd tot hun terugvlucht op donderdag te overbruggen. De dikke Nederlander (hij kwam uit Vught) zal ik wel nooit meer zien. (Hij bleek overigens ook nog als projectontwikkelaar een bouwproject in Blaricum Bijvanck te hebben gedaan maar runt nu een kwekerij.) Ook zijn terugvlucht was pas op donderdag. Die was in verband met het transport van de hond niet gemakkelijk om te boeken. Of hij op korte termijn nog een keer naar Spanje zal gaan, betwijfel ik. Fons

Y'a personne sur la route, sauf les gens qui vont au bled ! 7h30, p'tit déjeuner (au rouge pour certains !) On reprend la route à 8h15. On s'arrête encore après ...
