The days so far have ......

.......been warm and sunny while the evenings are cool. Mojacar village is a mile away clinging to a high hill overlooking the valley to the north and Mediterranean to the south. Steep narrow streets wind their way up to the top where a few touristy shops, cafe's/bar's, the Santa Maria church, a tattoo parlour and spectacular views over the valley.

Waiting for coffee.


There is a lift to get to the top quickly.


The town of Vera is a 25 minute drive east, on it's outskirts is the Bullring and museum, it is free to enter but a tip is required for the man on the gate before you leave. Built in 1879 and refurbished in 1993 bull fights are still held here.
Vera boasts that it has the best climate in Europe, it also has a water park, a four star naturist hotel with naturist urbanisation's including houses, apartments, villas restaurants bars and leisure facilities. I will try and keep Sue away from there!

Pool at the apartment, the water is too cold for a dip.
