| Palmones to Castellar de la Frontera - 28 miles |
A wild night although it didn't rain after we'd gone to bed, with the van being buffeted about in the high winds. But it wasn't cold so a standard start, no servicing of course as this is just a car park so firstly round tro Leroy-Merlin for a bathroom sink plug (too small) and a replacement for the door step Terry managed to trash a couple of weeks ago (too big). Ah well! Our plan was to go round to the aire at La Linea then walk across to Morrisons on Gibraltar for some “UK” shopping but by the time we found it the wind was again gale force and it looked very exposed so decided not to bother.
So where next then? The
weather forecast showed a deep depression hanging around the Straits
of Gibraltar affecting all along the coast in both directions until
Saturday – we're glad we crossed yesterday now – so we parked in
a handy Lidl and managed to get a few of the things we were going to
Gib for then had lunch.
Whilst perusing the
books we noticed an aire at Castellar de la Frontera which was the
first place on the Pueblo Blanco (White House) route to and beyond
Ronda and as it was to the north it seemed a good compromise – we
can carry on along if we wish. Set TomTom and about 20 mins later
found a pleasant roomy little aire in a pretty town, so managed to
park up with a degree of shelter. After a cuppa we took Jamie for a
walk to find the castle, without success although we probably went
the wrong way – no bother we succeeded in giving him, and us, some
exercise.

We'll stay here tonight
and maybe carry on to Ronda tomorrow following the Pueblos Blanco
trail and then see what the weather does later.
