Woke up feeling a little tired as the Spanish kids were still up and running at 1am! After breakfast we left the camp in sunshine and set of towards Malaga, a fairly short and straight forward journey along a dual carriageway, around and through some fantastic hills and across some not so fantastic ravines. As we neared Malaga some of the houses in the hills were lovely, with great views of the coast. As we followed the directions around Malaga and towards the airport we spotted a large shopping complex where we were able to stock up with food and drink as we didn’t know what the campsite would have or how easy it would be to get into the nearest town.

We’d had trouble with the satnav locating the site and were having to rely on the web page directions we had copied earlier, but as it turned out they were spot on. We went through Alhaurin De La Torre which was a very nice affluent town before heading into the hills and finding the campsite. We’re glad we stocked up as the camp “supermarket” is a freezer in the office and you need to catch the bus into the town. We have a pitch at the bottom of the camp with incredible views over the valley and hills, very quiet and peaceful. The manager wasn’t here so the site barman/warden put us on the pitch and said to return tomorrow to see Pavlo to sort everything out.
