The building behind me was a fort, built to fend off pirates<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Will we ever learn I wonder? Each time we head out on one of these long tours, we always seem to find ourselves being a little cooked at some point, with the predictable result of discomfort, frayed tempers and, as our fridge is also struggling in 30\u00baC, inexcusably warm lager. Long ago we sussed out what we needed to do to handle the heat: not be in it&#8230; Ideally we&#8217;d shift to warmer climes in the winter (Morocco, Tunisia, Sicily) and cooler ones in summer (Scandinavia, northern France, the Alps, the UK). This time we&#8217;ve cocked up that approach, and are trying (feebly) to correct the error by steaming north. Only we&#8217;re not. The temperatures inland in Spain are hitting 40\u00baC in most places, so we&#8217;re scared to head up there, and are hugging the Mediterranean coast. We&#8217;re sort of steeling ourselves for a blast north at some point into either the Basque country, or the Pyrenees, maybe Andorra.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27685\" style=\"width: 637px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27685\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27685\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Capture.jpg\" alt=\"Spain: hot.\" width=\"627\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Capture.jpg 627w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Capture-300x256.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27685\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spain: hot. The dark red circles mean 100 degrees, in old money.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Some other things we learned about the heat are finally coming back to us, and forcing some change in behaviour:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shade is critical. If we can get under some decent cover, especially in the head-thumping heat of the early afternoon, then life becomes much more fun. Campsites down here are often geared up to provide shade (the one we&#8217;re on has nets strung up over many of the pitches, as well as trees), so we&#8217;ll be using them for a while, investing some cash in a better life.<\/li>\n<li>Campsites also give us the option to sit outside, which aires typically don&#8217;t allow (it&#8217;s seen as &#8216;camping behaviour&#8217;, which is often illegal).<\/li>\n<li>This motorhome thing has air con! At least it does in the cab while we&#8217;re driving, so we&#8217;re using it. By driving in the hotter part of the day, we can stay cool for a few hours by blasting ourselves with diesel-powered coldness. Charlie gets to play too, being popped by Ju&#8217;s feet to chill him down.<\/li>\n<li>Charlie&#8217;s fur has to be short. He seems to feel the heat more than other dogs, so we&#8217;ve again trimmed his fur down with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B000PTQ5HS\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=book_reviews-21&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B000PTQ5HS&amp;linkId=dbe6229c1f5c8e67dbc94dab07f2a22b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our Wahl clippers<\/a>, leaving just enough to preserve dignity and fend off sunburn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another option suggested to us is to fit an air conditioning unit either to the roof or under a bench. We pondered that option a while, but for the time being we&#8217;re not going down that route as (a) the units cost over \u00a31500. With fitting costs that would be 10% of the van&#8217;s value, which we&#8217;d likely never see again (b) they weigh 20 to 30Kg, and we&#8217;re tight on payload (c) the current draw on the leisure batteries would probably mean we&#8217;d need mains hook-up fairly often, which would restrict us to campsites or aires with power. Nah. For the moment we&#8217;ll suck it up, and head for the cooler climes.<\/p>\n<p>So, where have we been? Well, Cabo de Gata was a beautiful place, deserted again by Sunday evening. With a free parking place alongside the beach, staying longer would have been a no-brainer but for the lack of shade. The heat removed any reluctance to move, and we again stabbed a finger at the air con button and headed up the coast to&nbsp;Moj\u00e1car, a combined hill-town, beach resort where Ju&#8217;s relatives have a villa. We&#8217;d arranged to meet Rik and Didi, an expat US couple and family friends, who&#8217;ve spent a long time living and working in&nbsp;Moj\u00e1car, and enjoyed a delicious Spanish lunch overlooking the sea with them. These are fascinating people. Rik remains the only man I&#8217;ve ever met who uses a water spray when cooking on a BBQ (he&#8217;s run some huge BBQs in his time, and uses the water to control the heat). We were lucky to catch them as Didi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DidiAriasArt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">paints amazing pieces of art<\/a> and had a show on in the town while we were there. She has also for many years been involved in rescuing dogs and treating them, dedicating enormous (unthinkable for me, despite being a dog lover) amounts of her time, energy and money to this thankless task. I won&#8217;t relay the stories of animal mistreatment her and Rik have had to deal with over the years, but I will say these guys are tough old cookies.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27678\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27678\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27678\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC02523-1024x547.jpg\" alt=\"Crop pickers in the fields on our route north.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC02523-1024x547.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC02523-1024x547-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC02523-1024x547-768x410.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crop pickers in the fields on our route north.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Keen to keep heading north we left them to return to work, and in a bid to avoid paying motorway tolls found ourselves snaking up and down the bucking Spanish coast. Finding that the campsite we were aiming for looked to be in the middle of nowhere we (daftly) pushed on up to a free parking spot alongside the sea at Puntas de Calnegra (N37.51356, W1.39967). Although the parking looked idyllic, and we&#8217;d seen lots of other single campers in similar places along the coast north, the heat meant poor old Charlie couldn&#8217;t sleep even at midnight with the windows open (not very secure for us), a wet towel on him and being wafted with a fan. Enough tightness, we needed to get some shade before Charlie popped his paws in the air in exhaustion, or we mutually throttled each other. Hence we&#8217;re here.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27674\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27674\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27674\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC02520-1024x400.jpg\" alt=\"Free camping on the beach at Puntas de Calnegra\" width=\"1024\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC02520-1024x400.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC02520-1024x400-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC02520-1024x400-768x300.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27674\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Free camping on the beach at Puntas de Calnegra<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Most of the route north was fast, free motorway, past Murcia, Alicante and Benidorm, with a final long slow, car-crammed drag through the towns north of the &#8216;dorm. The final entry to the campsite had us cursing the satnav, as it endlessly told us to drive down tight country lanes. Finally I remembered the reviews on the site had said many of the approaches were tight, so instead of trying to find the one wide route, we just piled down a lane, tucked our elbows in over a tiny stone Roman bridge, and rolled in to the site. When Ju opened the door to head into reception, it felt like we&#8217;d just stepped out of an aircraft arriving at Murcia: a hairdryer in the face! Sharpish we threw the van under the netting, later on turning around to keep the fridge in shade all day, and to use the van to create more shade for us in the evening. We are loving that shade!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27676\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27676\" class=\"wp-image-27676 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC02532-1024x554.jpg\" alt=\"Benidorm: an incredible sight after the development-free beaches to the west.

Later on, James and Sue introduced themselves, having come across this blog in the past, and we spent a great evening with them shooting the breeze. Sort of retired(ish), they spend about four months travelling in a Hymer, in a couple of two month stints, and mainly in Spain. Their appreciation of Spain, of the food, languages(s) &#8211; Spain has a bunch of languages (reflecting the fact Spain is made up, like many countries, of historically fully independent areas), culture and drink was addictive, and we found ourselves feeling we&#8217;re really not giving the country its dues. Future trips are being mentally formed when we get our timing right, so places are open and alive after the winter, but not yet baking hot.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27682\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27682\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27682\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_20170613_165133343-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Fishermen mending nets at the Javea port\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_20170613_165133343-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_20170613_165133343-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_20170613_165133343-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_20170613_165133343-1024x576-678x381.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27682\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fishermen mending nets at the Javea port<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_27680\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27680\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27680\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_20170613_164925323-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Locals grabbing still-kicking fresh seafood\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_20170613_164925323-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_20170613_164925323-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_20170613_164925323-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_20170613_164925323-1024x576-678x381.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27680\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Locals grabbing still-kicking fresh seafood<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Late in the evening James dropped a wee bombshell too: there&#8217;s bull running here in the next few days. Oh yes, Bulls. Real ones. With pointy horns. Some small, some medium, and some big swines, legging it up and down the road in the town (we were told folks are far less brave and do much less goading as the bulls get bigger). The idea of going to watch a bullfight remained latent in my mind up until a few days ago when we saw the horrific bloody reality of the thing on the TV in a resaurant, so that&#8217;s a 100% certain no-no now, but I&#8217;m not averse to seeing these beautiful beasts bashing their way down a street or two. Apparently the price of beer is even reduced in celebration! We have a recommendation for somewhere to eat and watch the bulls, so we&#8217;ll chill here a few days, eat, stay out of the sun and throw darts at the map for a route to the cool.<\/p>\n<p>Right, time to get back outside guys.
