Come On Down

Hey you lot chuck a sicky in if you have to but come on down here

We are now at what will be our long term site for what will be your winter and it is brilliant.

We are all settled in at Pinar San Jose at Zahora, not far from Cadiz

Behind us we have a pine forest for walking the dog that goes on for almost ever and the other way we have miles of almost deserted golden sands. The sky is blue, the thermometer says 25 degrees and guess what we are not one bit homesick for Todmorden.

I was about to send you a picture of the beach but still not had my training course and besides it will only make you jealous

Ooooops I did send a piccy

Been down that way before but stayed on here Camping La Aldea @ El Rocio on the other side os the Donana National park, great place it was but wow when it rained did it turn into a river of red mud.

Might see you there en-route to La Bella Vista camp when we are heading back northwards, after sometime in Portugal.

looks a great place,and wow what a beach.is it 330 euros a month?is it free wifi.and can you get granada reports.

i think i will be waiting outside the gate of bella vista to open to  get me a front line spot  .it could be a while before i got bored.roll on january.

According to the notice in reception it is only 300 euros if you stay a month and there is up to 10 something of free leccy included and a small fee for further usage. Television connections are on each pitch including ITV and BBC and some others, tap and drain on each pitch and a little well stocked supermarket at the entrance

Very quiet with several Brits already here

Frank, this is good/safe stop I found when i travelled to Portugal in the truck, it was a Shell station then but now its a Cespa one. Have a menu Del Dia and its free parking for the night. N31°3.484' W5°32.727'

Think Shuggy may have stopped here a few times as last time we where there all the chips had gone

Thats because I don't use motorways as the norm as I do not want to drive 500miles a day 

Not on about 500 miles it was me who told u about that stop

where is it? them truck stops can be a nightmare,you settle down have a few  ,and then a refrigator wagon pulls in  .cant move because you have had a drink.so you have a bad bad night.

No frank the parking for the m/hs is NOT on the truckstop but the other side of the road away from them on a restaurant car park and camping site. just have a meal and parking is free.

By the way it was SHUGGY that told me about this place

Y would i be upset

The camping is Camping Olimpia and is 16.50 euro a night including electricity the restaurant do a menu de dia for 10 euros food is excellent, been calling there since it first opened, they have extended the bottom of the site for long motor homes.

thank you for the update.10 euros is a good price.and if it comes with a recomendation thats a bonus. 

Hi Leslie, when I asked a friend about this place he told me the owners would let you stay overnight on the carpark if it was not full if you had a meal, but from what I see you writing one would have to use the campsite.
