Thursday 16th February

What a revelation Benicassim is. We are on a site called Bonterra Park and we were greeted by some friends we had made at La Manga as we walked round the site on first arrival selecting our pitch. We have since met up with some others that we had met there and are joining them tonight for a meal.

Our pitch is to one side of the site and gets sunshine in the morning and again in late afternoon and evening, just when we are around and able to enjoy it.

More Time on pitch at Bonterra Park, Benicassim

Benicassim is a typical Spanish town and not messed around with. Plenty of the essential shops plus a couple of larger supermarkets. Even a cycle shop where we were able to eventually get a cycle helmet for Sue. Not at all an average shop this one. You entered through an archway into the main workshop. Sales were carried out from a separate room at the rear. This morning we had a cycle and walk along part of the 'Via Verde' (Green Way) which runs directly along behind the site on the bed of a disused railway, for quite a way along the coast. Stunning views in places and the Almond Blossom is now beginning to come out, we were hoping we would see some while here.

All together we are much happier here and even the weather is warming up somewhat to help us recover from  the disappointment that was Moncofa.
