Nothing Has Changed On the Costa Del Sol
From Nerja we have travelled past Malaga into the heart of the tourist Costa del Sol. First stop was the campsite at Cabopino which lies about half way between Fuengirola and Marbella. The campsite was busy with many British long termers who drive straight down to here, book in for 3-4 months and stay here […]
Roaming Around Historic Ronda
Its a pretty steep climb up into the mountains to Ronda, but as usual Kelpie did us proud – she’s not the fastest milkcart in the west but she gets us there, eventually.
