La viñuela 1 March 2022

We arrived at the La Viñuela campsite yesterday on a Spanish bank holiday (Andalucía Day). The site’s restaurant was heaving with locals but the hubbub died down late evening.

We are lucky to have a pitch on the site that directly looks over the reservoir and surrounding hills. Today we cycled the 10 mile round trip to a local village to buy groceries. This included a stop at a local butcher where we bought the largest chicken breasts ever!

We walked part way round the reservoir and Alan did a little fly casting practice..

View of the reservoir from the camping pitch. Water levels are particularly low at the moment.
Glorious views at the end of the day of the reservoir and surrounding hills
Some idiot trying to fish. The dam for the reservoir is in the distance.
Freshwater mussels
Olive trees everywhere. Avocados are also grown in this region.

Great local butchers and cheese shop. Spot the hams.
