Rufus does Europe

Drove up the coast on the motorway this morning towards Torrevieja. Guy is hoping to meet some cycling mates who are flying out this weekend…not sure if that’ll be happening now! We called at Lidl when we got off the

Quite like this place. The campsite is right next to the beach and a village, and there’s a long promenade for running! We have been here before – I recognised a huge beach car park that was rammed with motorhomes

Said goodbye to our Italian friends this morning after Guy had spent half an hour dripping in sweat on the turbo 😅! We then blasted up the motorway, calling in at various service stations trying to find a tyre inflator

Worst nights sleep we’ve ever had in the motorhome. We stupidly parked up near the main road in and out of the village – the traffic seemed incessant. This morning we drove about 6 miles to this campsite in Torrox

We’ve come to this famous gorge near El Chorro, but it’s been against all odds today. First, the road was closed en route so we had to do a big detour round. Then we didn’t know which entrance we were
