Walk beyond the lighthouse

-

 Friday 17 February

Just a picture of our restaurant from the beach while we were waiting for the bus to come this morning.

The bus took us to the port just beyond Alcossebre.  This is a zoomed in pic of the lighthouse we can just see in the far distance from our own beach.  We are walking towards and beyond it after we've stopped for our picnic lunch.
A typical road around here - clean and fresh, with white apartments.
From our picnic spot looking back to the town.
Enjoying the sunshine and the sea.
We reached the rather unique lighthouse.
Beyond here, the coast path continues along the edge of the rocks

this bit on a smooth path past a very smart house, but mostly rough and stoney.

A stop for a cup of tea.
Another beautiful house on our way back

past this pretty beach
and the houses and hotels on the hill.
Then back to the bus stop for the return home.  Bus fare pretty cheap €1.55 each.  Still warm enough to sit out on our return to read and do a bit more jigsaw.  A lovely day.

    Happy birthday for yesterday John! Glad you are having a lovely time. Sorry to be a bit behind with the blog but have had a busy few days. We travelled down to Cornwall last Friday to spend a few days with the family during Tilly's half term. We fitted in a visit to Lanhydrock, a Sunday lunch with Joy and Nigel and a very blustery walk around Tintagel, before heading home via Bristol on Tuesday where we stopped off to visit my cousin Ollie and his wife. Fantastic weather while we were away, a bit more cloudy since we got home. Lots to do next week with a day in Greenwich helping Nick demolish the kitchen , prior to the building work starting, and our first Lent lunch on Friday, followed by the beetle drive on Saturday. Hope you have a good week. xx

Street Party and Torre de la Sal

-

 Sunday 12 February The sunshine is here to stay for a while.  So after zoom Church (well, most of it, as it's an hour later here, and needed to get on with preparing Sunday lunch....), we moved table, chairs, cushions, food and drink into the next row to ours for a small street party.  Met a few new-to-us people and enjoyed lots of chat and a few laughs.  We were not too rowdy and couldn't compete with the much smaller group of Germans nearby! We needed exercise after that, so had a walk by the sea and I had my first paddle - in much calmer sea than last week.  We sat with our cups of tea watching the waves, the birds and 1 boat. Monday 13 February Today we took the van out for a run again.  A few miles south to Torre de la Sal.  We drove into this enormous car park (that did have a sign saying no caravans/motorhomes but ignored that - Dot, no comments please!) but we were the only vehicle there all afternoon. So it was a good picnic lunch spot before...

Playa Tropicana, Alcossebre

-
Image
 Friday 3 February This blue sky is what we've travelled this far for.  The rather classy entrance to our campsite.  Val will remember this well. Opposite this entrance is the beach - this way looking N to Alcossebre and eventually Barcelona and this S, eventually towards Castellon and Valencia. To the right of the entrance is the bar and restaurant, with an upstairs room for events. The hour-long walk to Alcossebre is beautiful, mainly on boardwalks. Only a few of the shops and restaurants in the town are open at this time of the year, but several cafes along the seafront of the town, are being well used.  We just had a cuppa (pretty cheap - a tea and a coffee came to 2.90€) and a rest before heading back home again.   Saturday 4 February  Today we got the bikes out.  Didn't go very far, just along the coast, going south and sat at the top of the beach with our flask of tea.  Will take photos of the next bike ride - maybe venture a bit furth...

Lazy weekend and day in Peniscola

 Saturday 18 February Not a lot to report about today as we had a lift with Karen and Steve to Consum (the just out of town supermarket) in the morning, did a washload, sat about in the sunshine reading, doing puzzles etc.  We felt the need for a bit of exercise in the late afternoon, so went up a lane away from the sea for a change and came across a park.  Not a very good photo, but it's long and narrow between 2 roads, but has lots of seats and playthings for children. Chef cooked dinner outside (note the carton of Sangria that goes with him everywhere!) - fresh fish, which turned out to be hake, which went down well with sweet potato, potato and carrot mash + peas and beans. Sunday 19 February Another lazy day with breakfast outdoors, joining zoom church - this week our Deacon, Sarah, led the service and waved to us when she realised we were there and mentioned that there were International viewers today! - and joining a small group of friends for the-now-regular Sunda...
