Not far from Roquetas de Mar is Aguadulce, with its beautiful marina. We took a trip there yesterday with the motorhome and strolled around the docks. Really a cosy environment with all the boats, fish restaurants, small shops and people off on Sundays.
Read moreNow we have come to Roquetas de Mar, located on the Spanish coast just west of Almería. Here we have, thanks to Lena and Jan's blog (rullandeteamet.blogspot.com), found a nice big campsite by the sea.
Read moreFrom Granada we went back down to the coast and drove east towards Almería. In this area you drive miles and miles through an endless sea of plastic tent farms. The tents are really just everywhere and it feels like they never runs out. It looks rather sad, but is of course an important production from an economic point of view.
Read moreToday we checked out of the campsite in Granada and looked for a camping shop we had been told about. We want a tent to train in! Now it has turned out that it is not very easy to find what we are looking for.
Read moreYesterday we visited the main attraction of Granada: the Alhambra Castle and Palace. The palace was built by the Moors in the 1250s to the end of the 14th century and consists of gardens and buildings from the last Islamic dynasty in Spain. It is interesting to walk around the grounds, which are quite large and located on a hill with great views of both Granada and the Sierra Nevada.
Read moreToday we looked around the Spanish city of Granada, located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. This is a city that feels both historic and young at the same time, and here we enjoyed an outdoor lunch in the February sun.
Read moreTorre del Mar is a pleasant little town on the south coast of Spain. It has a nice long promenade along the coast, and quite a few Swedes have found their way here, especially in the winter. We have been camping here with our motorhome for a while, and soon it is time for us to move on to discover Granada.
Read moreWe've tried cooking boquerones, anchovies or sardines the Spanish way. As you may know, we love seafood, and now that we're travelling around southern Europe, we're taking the opportunity to try new fish and new recipes.
Read moreWe have now arrived on the Costa del Sol, the Spanish sunshine coast! We feel like standing still at a campsite for a week or so, and have therefore been looking for a place that we can enjoy. Now we have found Laguna Playa in Torre del Mar, just east of Malaga.
