It wasn't a great night, after moaning so much about the heat some people will consider it payback to hear us say that we were actually quite cold in bed last night. We'd had a lovely meal in a little restaurant / bar in town, we took the dogs and sat outside.
In the morning we packed up, somehow we have managed to accumulate even more stuff and the car is even fuller than it was. The campsite was great and I said to the owners that we might be back.
We took the long road to Algorfa, this involved driving over the highest road in Spain where the pass reaches over 2km above sea level, this must very isolated in winter, apparently the snow is regularly 4 metres high here, it is where most of the Spanish ski resorts are located.
We stopped on the mountain pass to walk the dogs and take some photographs, I cant get over how much this reminds me of placs in North America like Aspen or Vermont.
Right on the top of this hill you can see a domed white building, there are a few of these round here, we were trying to figure out what they are for, the might be observation posts for fire risk.
We stopped for Lunch in La Calahora, in a grotty bar but the food was good. We then joined the motorway which was actually a welcome relief after the twisty mountain roads. Susan took over driving.
We arrived in Algorfa at Susans Brother place about 5.30 and had dinner. This is the festival week and as a result there was fireworks, the dogs were terrified so we put them in the car in the underground car park, the seemed happier there.
Alex took us for a drive around then we went into town for a drink. The festival was in full swing, it is the festival of flowers.
We headed back to the apartment, it is good to have a proper bed for a change.
