Kevnjan's new adventure.

Sunday, 27th. Jan. Unbelievable!! I just went to review my last blog, dated 21st. Jan, and discovered it wasn't there. No wonder people are wondering what's happened to us. I found it in the drafts, it had failed to post. Sorry, so today you're going to get a double whammy of not very much. We left Torre del Mar and headed for Rincon de la Victoria where we had been told there was wild camping by the beach. Drove straight past it and ended up on the outskirts of Torremolinos on a large patch of waste ground, by the beach, with 7 or 8 other vans of various nationalities in direct contravention of the no camping signs. We all felt there was safety in numbers and although the local police were cruising by regularly we were not disturbed. Spoke to an English couple who gave us directions to the Rincon site and on Tuesday headed back in that direction. Found it no trouble and discovered it was really set up for campers with water, toilets and waste disposal. Rincon is a nice place with all the shops and facilities and a great promenade for walking. We stayed for two nights, made friends with a Dutch couple, Betty and John who have been there for months. On Thursday morning we set off for Malaga in search of LPG, not that we were empty but it's the last place we could top up before Cadiz. The one big disadvantage down here is the dearth of LPG stations. Having topped up we followed the coast through Torremolinos and Fuengirola hoping to find somewhere to spend a night or two out. It's hopeless along that stretch, all built up and not camper friendly. And so we found ourselves at Cabopino, just inside the Marbella city limits, on a large campsite. We have managed to secure a decent pitch with just enough of a gap between the trees to secure a satellite signal and so are embedded for a week or so, waiting for Gunter and Anita to catch us up. They are expected any time now. There is an indoor pool here and we are swimming every day, yesterday was warm and sunny and we had a few hours sunbathing. So it's business as usual, we've had a good clean and have set ourselves up for a longish stay, I've been putting off washing the van but I think it's coming soon. Not today though, Sunday - day of rest. Sun's out, pool's calling, time to go. More next week.
