La Viñuela to Cabopino 4 March 2022

Drove from La Viñuela to Cabopino over some stunning mountain roads. Cabopino is located about 12 miles east of Marbella. It is on the coast and hence much busier than the hill country. The drive was made difficult by a very strong and gusty side wind. A guy on a motorcycle was really struggling. Reminds me of crossing the old Severn Bridge on a fully loaded Yamaha XS650 in the 1970s!

The Cabopino campsite is full but is well laid out within a pine forest so there is some privacy and space.

Managed to buy fresh Dorado (Gilt-head Bream) and cooked it on the BBQ griddle. Very nice.

The beach faces west and hence some lovely sunsets.
