Casa Rudo & Murcia

As planned we drop in to Casa Rudo for what turns out to be a 10 day stay in glorious weather


Boots are donned and the kms stack up as we discover some unusual walking opportunities right from the site. This particular one led nowhere with three 'Mafia' looking guys in a black Merc ousting us after having passed us much earlier saying nothing...


Dates in the raw


Similarly, Artichokes


These Ex Pats turn up on site as requested to change the rear pair of trailer tyres as they are past their best and won't make it legally back to the UK


Rudy & Me discussing all things trailer related


Wifey is quite shocked one day as I order up a cocktail for her from Dorine's new flash bar for outside delivery


'Arabian Nights' looking appartments at Santa Pola


A stroll after Tapas on market day at Santa Pola


A run to Elche on Max and some locations are earmarked for the summer when Emilja & Richard fly out to join us




After a relaxing stay at Casa Rudo we bid farewell until late May and head back to Murcia and that Aire at the shopping centre


The obligatory walk in to Murcia under blue skies sees us calling again at a favourite Tapas bar just outside the city


The quite bizarre location for the Aire turns out to be a firm favourite of ours as its actually perfectly located to go drink mid morning coffee with a sticky bun sat in the lovely sunshine


This is the lower of the two centres, the other being the much larger Nuevo Condomina a kilometre's walk further on. This lies at the end of the superb Line 1 of the new tram network so is very doable for folks of all ages


Another day another coffee in the sun..😎



Having seen Castillo de Monteagudo many times when passing by on the motorway we thought it a bright idea late one afternoon to go walk to it...



The usual guy atop the rock overseeing the metropolis of Murcia


Below it a quite interesting museum given over to educating folk about the region's past





The rear entry looks quite dangerous...



Looking Northwards


A lovely sight before our long trek back to the van
