TO SOUTHERN SPAIN

We left northern Spaina and decided to travel through Portugal. Not that we could see a lot as conditions were terrible, non stop heavy rain for seven hours and thick fog as we got to the tops of mountians so we were left with a poor impression of that country, particularlyas the petrol was even dearer than in England!

We stayed overnight at a Portuguese equivalent of a parador, this was a converted castle but unfortunately the decor seemed to have been done in the 1960's.

We eventually arrived at our home in Estepona and were glad to get there except the bad weather had followed us and instead of unbroken sunshire we had four days of really fierce storms which whipped the sea into a froth as you can see.
