Cabo de Gata – Parc Natural (day 88)
The night after we stayed on a beach carpark sandwiched between the fisherman’s hut’s and the town of Cabo de Gata. We walked into the small town, had a glass of wine in a local bar then back to the van for the evening.

San Jose (day 89)
Up early (9.00 ish), we drove to San Jose a little further round the peninsular, arriving we saw this beautiful whitewashed town set in a sheltered cove with a small port area and sandy beach. We drove round for a while and spotted a number of motorhomes parked on a municipal car park. We pulled in parked up and went for a walk round the town, which took all of 15 mins. Back at the van a couple more campers turned up so we made camp and ended up staying 4 days. During which time we tried out the local restaurants and bars, we found San Jose and it’s residents to be a very pleasant, along with the warm sunny weather & temps in the mid 70s . We did find a cool hippy bar near to the local Spar supermarket at the side of the promenade, which was a little odd but very good for people watching, which happens to be our new favourite pastime second to drinking beer/wine. There are other good beaches quite nearby but we were informed that the Guardia were not happy about people camping due to it being a “Parc National” which is only fair, it does seem that Spain is trying to preserve their park areas. One day we went for a hike up one of the peaks close to the restored windmill which then overlooked the Guardia Civil’s local headquarters (see how they like being watched ).
