Christmas in Calpe (Alicante) !! (1 Viewer)

[bryandh]

All the "get ready" stuff will be done by tomorrow so we kick off on Friday morning to spend Christmas/New Year at Camping Calpemar but have decided to check out Camping Marjal at Crevillent, for a few days, on the way. Will be on the lookout for any "Funsters" at both locations... if you spot us, (see avatar) then come say "Hello" and have a mince pie !
Don't quite know what wi-fi connections will be like so will say it now..... Merry Funster Christmas to you all


Regards, Bryan

Climb? There was a day, but nowadays a gentle stroll is about the limit, but for sure we will give it a go.

DEFINATELY! A magical place and done it many times on our "flying visit" holidays to my folks. This will be the first time in Calpe...........well, in Spain at all ! with our rig so its going to be fantastic going up there and knowing I'm not flying home in the morning
I have this crazy idea to be up there, either when the sun rises or falls but that obviously leaves the dangerous bit about walking when its dark and I know that people have been "helicoptered" off there! S8d that! I couldn't bare the shame. So a few more reccie missions called for. The thought of spending the night up there in a bivvie bag is awesome but it depends on the weather.

Have a wonderfull Christmas pips and I hope the big guys brings all the presents you hope for.
My biggest present will be the first Chrimbo with Mum & Dad in 6 years since they moved down there. Cant wait.

Ps for Bryan.
Dont knoiw if you've been up there before, but you dont have to go all the way to the top for a wonderfull view of Calpe.
Walk up to the tunnel through the rock (about halfway up) on a good, safe, reasonably easy path for good views. Care needed through the tunnel cos the rocks are VERY slippy, even when dry, cos of the wear of so many boots.

Have a safe and enjoyable journey and Happy Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year to you and your family
