Kevnjan's new adventure.

Monday, 21st. Jan. I can't believe that my last post was as long ago as Sat.12th. On Saturday, we left Granada and headed for Nerja. We found a beautiful spot, on the cliffs, overlooking the sea and with a view of Nerja, about 5 Ks west. We spent 3 nights camping there, no disturbances, very quiet, except for the occasional visit from other campers, curious to see what we had discovered. On Sunday we took the van into Nerja, in search of the car park, with free parking, and camping near the Balcon de Europa. This had been recommended by several people including Rob and Sheila. As has happened a lot on this trip, when we arrived, we found that the car park was charging and no camping was permitted. This seems to be a recurring theme down here. The authorities are clamping down on campers. We found somewhere to park in the street and headed for Burriana beach where we found our favourite bar where the enormous pan of paella was already cooking over a log fire. Jan says that this wasn't the place we ate last time but I believe she's mistaken. Anyway, we had drinks and paella, (with free second helping) and enjoyed the warm sunshine. Nerja really is one of our favourite places! We went back to our wild camping place and enjoyed the last of the sun in our chairs. On Monday we took the van to the sea front at Burriana and prepared for a day on the beach. I found myself in an altercation with a local bar owner and to cut a long story short, a little later two polite traffic policemen informed me that not campers were allowed in Nerja and I was invited to leave. We spent one more night on the cliff top where Janet was convinced we were going to get blown over the edge by scary gusts of wind. Woke up next morning, still on the top so that was a good thing!! Drove about 20Ks down the coast to Torre del Mar and booked onto an ACSI site which has been recommended. It's OK but it's not Nerja!! We've been here since Tuesday and the weather has taken a turn for the worse, not as bad as England though! Had the worst meal ever in a highly recommended restaurant, Victors, should have known better, €6.50 for 3 courses. Avoid if in this area. Apart from that, it's been quiet and uneventful, we've walked some and taken it easy. Time to move on today. Hope to have more to report in a day or two, heading towards Malaga.
