Bojitoes Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Drove from Madrid to Granada today, rain all the way and serious fog in the mountains! Low temperature light comes on occasionally but nothing like the snow we woke up to in Pamplona the other morning! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesFrance Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 As it was my 75th Birthday yesterday we decided to treat ourselves to 4 days all in at the Benidorm Melia and it was too hot to sit in the sun on our balcony yesterday. Total cost £255 booked through Hotels4U. Today we are glad to be back on camping La Torreta so we can have a decent night's sleep without high heels clacking about from 11.30 to 1.00 and again from 5.00 until 6.30 this morning when they must have checked out. There was a nice birthday card and bottle of Cava Rosado waiting for me from the campsite when I got back. A bit cooler today and some cloud, but the olive tree on our pitch has been pruned so we now have sun in the van from 9am to 5pm most days. Another afternoon playing petanque then dinner in the Chinese again for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James saved a bit on traveling then? :D..............many happy returns ;-).............do you get a free tv licence now? :-D Weather here........overcast but warm 70f and the winds dropped B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesFrance Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 No free TV license for us in France, you have to be on a very low income for that, so we hope not to qualify but the pound is going down again so you never know. The camper stayed on the site where it is safe, but we hardly left the hotel so we have eaten and drunk too much. The hotels in Benidorm are half the price of anywhere else so it made sense to walk down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 47 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Similar story to the last post down here in Almeria. Two months of sunny weather with no rain at all and temperatures around 20C in the day and 7C at night - followed by a weekend of heavy rain and gales (max 11 km/hr!). We took our kitchen tent down on Friday and put it back upi on Sunday evening - several others on site were destroyed. OK now though - back to warm, sunny and dry.

Guest JudgeMental Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Did you read that before posting? "Rainfall is less likely to hit the Mediterranean coast and the Canary Islands, and where it does it will be relatively light.The strongest winds are expected to be seen in the south-west of the mainland, the Balearics and Galicia." Long term not looking that great . last year we had great weather form Easter onward..If it dont pick up I'm not going... http://www.worldweatheronline.com/Benidorm-weather/Comunidad-Valenciana/ES.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
