Day 6Tue 5 Feb 08

 

Well – what a site! It’s absolutely huge but doesn’t really seem it. Pitches are all divided by hedges and mostly shaded by trees. The are quite a few people about but also lots of empty pitches. The bar and restaurant last night were almost deserted – lovely.

 

The shower and toilet block is brilliant – very big and absolutely spotless. Found the laundry area this morning (aptly named the buggedera ) and did my first load of washing of the trip - the drying of it was very tiring – see photo. If you like you can take in a load of washing, give it to the nice lady through the serving hatch, and she’ll wash and dry it for you for 7€ - rather lazy but also a bargain in my book!

 

Went online in the café this morning and sat out in the sun this afternoon.

 

Went into Sitges town this evening to see the carnival – one of the most famous in Spain so good timing. Parked the car, walked along the seafront, then went and found a lovely Italian restaurant. The owners and staff were very welcoming and we felt like part of the family by the time we left – they all assembled for a photograph – see photos !

 

Then the carnival began just up the road from where we’d eaten – amazing sight, lots of beautiful people, beautiful costumes and loud music, went past us for two hours and it still hadn’t finished – see photos. Apparently it goes round the route twice and is still going strong at 3.00am – too late for us oldies !

 

We are settled here for two weeks before moving on to Javea – it’s a struggle !
