North of Valencia and moving on South for Xmas and New Year





'Living the Dream'
 We followed the long and winding run back down to the coast from Morella, its was starting to get late, so we searched for a place to stay the night, unfortunatley it was getting dark. so we eventually spotted 4 other motorhomes parked at the side of the road in Bennicassim, outside the Police Station and decided to join them - safety in numbers.  In the morning we went into town for breakfast - Jamon Bocadillo and coffee, shopped in Lidl and went round the market.  Our next stop was Moncofa a small town about an half an hour from Valencia, we stayed here two nights, one night to keep us entertained we found a jigsaw puzzle, it took 4.5 hours to complete, not bad for beginners, although abit disappointed to find that eight pieces were missing. We drove through Valencia (visited here last year - well worth spending a few days) and the national park, wetlands and wildlife area, staying in Gandia and onto Javea.

Javea - We made Javea our stop for the Xmas and New Year, it is a busy tourist town, although fairly quiet in the winter months, there are restaurants and bars open, promenade, seafront, harbour and old town.  In the old town, there is a procession on the 6th January where the children recieve their presents from Father Xmas at the church.
