Bonterra Park

It´s Wednesday, so we have arrived at Bonterra Park, Benicassim, 50k north of Valencia. We spent the last 2 days 35k north of here at Alcossebre. As we said in the last blog at Vilanova, we sped south into Spain 2 days earlier than planned as the torrential rain really put us off staying in France. Especially when we texted to Val & Bernard already in Alcossebre and they told us about the hot sun they were having. It was great to catch up with them on Monday and we have spent a very pleasant time at La Tropicana, a few yards from the Med. Yesterday we walked the coastline northwards, taking in several sandy bays, a cafe, a seat on the prom for our lunch (with dates dropping off the trees above us), a wander by the marina and the purchase of new sandals for John. On the way we encountered the local caterpillars - a furry variety, aparently called procession caterpillars as they drop out of the fir trees, form a line and follow each other nose to tail, in our case across the road we were walking beside. We are very sad to report that the centre of this particular procession didn´t make it across - they got squished seconds after our photo, by a white van!
So today we are installed on our adjacent pitches shaded by a couple of fir trees. Our first barbecue this evening has been a great success - it is so lovely to be able to sit out for our meal by candle-light.
Well, tomorrow we´ll be off exploring, so watch this space .....

Our love to all. We are appreciating your responses very much. Many thanks.
