Wines by the Mile.

Rosé Mezquiriz 2020. DO Navarra Remember when wine first started to be noticed on our supermarket shelves back in the 70s,. One was the infamous Mateus Rose. We rushed home with our beautifully designed bottles, mainly because it was claimed that the bottles could be converted into lamps. I never saw one that had. That sweet tasting wine dominated the rose market for a while. Now the choice is greater and to me at 1.75 euros this Navarra stands out amongst the low cost cheap wines. Just bung it in the fridge, go off to the beach and enjoy its fresh dry fruity flavours as you return to cool down. Made from the Garnacha grape. Verdejo is the main white grape in Rueda, producing wines that are fresh, aromatic, crisp and dry, this Spanish white wine is a great alternative to those of us who habitually stick to our Sauvignons and Chardonnays. A great one to try if you wish to be more adventurous with your grape selection. At 4.99 euros from lidl not the cheapest of the whites on offer but even at £6.50 in UK stores well worth a try.

"easy like Sunday morning *

Great to wake up with the warn sunshine and eat breakfast in the sun.

Guardamar to Javea

After our lengthy stay in Javea last Autumn we agreed to stay away from Javea for quite a while but its so difficult to stay away from what we belive to be the best resort in Eastern Spain. Guardamar was nice and the site was as well but it was a a distance from the town. We had some issues at reception when leaving but soon sorted them out. We liked the big pitches enclosed with hedges, own tap and drain. The pool was excellent.

Am I really in Spain.

Walked to shops and as we arrived around 11am it started raining. Got soak wet through, even my undies were wet, yes it was definitely the rain. Its now nearly 5pm and it's not stopped.

A nice day in Guardamar.

Bike ride into Guardamar, temps rising to 24c. Had lunch on the prom and did a bit of bartering with the street traders. Always avoid these but took a chance with a kids footy strip for Aiden and a tiny bag for Barbara. Got another 6 bottle's of the reduced Chardonnay from Masymas. Back to the site a couple of hours at the great pool complex and evening watching a very nervous Liverpool beat Villereal and make their way to the final.

Another good wine at a great reduction in the supermarket Masymas. Reduced from 5.69 e to 2.84e. Offer ends 14th of May so get your skates on.

1st of May arrived in Guardamar del Segura.

Nice site consisting of large pitches with tap and drain. Bank Holiday weekend with families and kids. Followed the river to the closest wild beach, sat by the pool and ate at the site restaurant whilst watching the mini disco. Today Monday most families packed up and left, now quieter. Got the bikes out and headed to town. Surprised to find a beautiful long beach with a short delightful prom. One of those days when you put a top on because its cool then take it off again as it becomes baking hot. Had a tapas lunch and returned to site for a swim in the fab pool. Barbs first of the trip.
