Dionne Warwick had to ask the way to find it and she “was born and raised” there, but we found San Jose quite easily as we’ve had a couple of short visits here. Its tucked away in the Cabo de Gata desert area where they made many of the spaghetti westerns of the late 60’s early 70’s. A real Spanish resort that has kept most of its original fishing village charms. All of the buildings are painted white. We intended to stay a couple of nights and driving here with the temps hitting 28c I thought I might get my first sea swim in, but a steady wind became stronger and it stated to cool. So after a tasty meal overlooking the sea we thought we might push on tomorrow if the wind remains.

The actual campsite was quite small with good facilities. The price per night was about 26 euros but if you used it as a camper stop and arrived after 7pm and departed by 10 the next day it was only 18 euros and that's what we chose to do. There were a  lot of vans wild camping in various parts of the town. The large car park that actually had caravan signs up in one section looked the best bet. I like San Jose but its questionable whether you could stay for long there so after one night especially with the weather looking hot, dull and windy we moved on the next day to Roquetas de Mar.
