When we <a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/to-the-spanish-med-peniscola\/\">arrived at Camping Ferrer<\/a> we had planned to stay for three nights, that quickly stretched to a week, now it has become two. We jokingly refer to the campsite as the &#8216;Hotel California&#8217;, as the lyrics to the song say &#8220;<i>you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave<\/i>&#8220;. This theory was confirmed when Marilyn and Brian, a retired English couple who had been here for a couple of weeks, left earlier this week. By nightfall they were back with tales of full campsites further south down the coast and nowhere better than here.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"585\" class=\"wp-image-33708\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DSC05061-800x585.jpg\" alt=\"peniscola castle by night\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DSC05061-800x585.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DSC05061-800x585-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DSC05061-800x585-768x562.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DSC05061-800x585-705x516.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DSC05061-800x585-450x329.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>All set for a night out on the town<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> <p>Today <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Mike, Victoria and their pooch Piglet (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Frankingineuropeandpigletcomestoo\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Mike, Victoria and their pooch Piglet<\/a> might have broken the spell and escaped. They too arrived for a couple of nights and ended up putting off their departure several times. Their channel crossing at the end of February, finally forcing north. This brings me to one of the downsides of motorhome life &#8211; friendships, or rather the very short nature of them. We&#8217;ve spent a wonderful 10 days with Mike and Victoria as neighbours and friends, which in itself is unusual; normally we only get to see folks for a night or two. Over those precious days, we&#8217;ve been out for several meals together, taken walks around the castle, town and on the beach, pooch sat Piglet and had many doggie cuddles from her, spent many, many hours talking about past travels and future plans and just enjoying the company of like-minded folk. Then as suddenly as their friendship arrived, it&#8217;s gone.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"wp-image-33717\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_150303070_HDR-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Paella time at Camping Ferrer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_150303070_HDR-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_150303070_HDR-800x450-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_150303070_HDR-800x450-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_150303070_HDR-800x450-705x397.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_150303070_HDR-800x450-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Lazy afternoons in the sun &#8211; here we are about to devour Victoria&#8217;s amazing paella<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> <p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I know we&#8217;ll see them again. Not wanting to quote too many song lyrics in one post, but Dame Vera put it so well &#8211; &#8216;<i>don&#8217;t know where, don&#8217;t know when, but I know we&#8217;ll meet again<\/i>&#8216;, however the feeling of loss is still there when it&#8217;s time to say goodbye. Motorhome life brings a lot of goodbyes.<\/p> <p>24 hours ago we were going to stay put here for another week &#8211; yes I know, three weeks in one place, it&#8217;s unheard of for us! Then last night something shifted, we both felt a pull to leave. I think partly it was knowing we&#8217;d be on our own here and it wouldn&#8217;t be the same, and partly it was because Jay spotted a huge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oceanografic.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Oceanarium in Valencia (opens in a new tab)\">Oceanarium in Valencia<\/a> that he fancied visiting. We could easily stay put as we are really enjoying being here. We&#8217;ve been using the place as a bit of a winter training camp. On Wednesday&#8217;s if we were back home we&#8217;d be out running with our club, in the biting cold and dark. While we miss the company of other runners, here we have sunshine, a natural park a couple of miles away where we can do long runs on trails and in the hills. There is also the beach and boardwalk, ideal for short fast runs and interval training (going faster then slower) using the palm trees or bins as markers. So, as you might guess, we&#8217;ve made the most of it going out running or cycling most days.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"wp-image-33713\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_100629647_HDR-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_100629647_HDR-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_100629647_HDR-800x450-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_100629647_HDR-800x450-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_100629647_HDR-800x450-705x397.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190205_100629647_HDR-800x450-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>A lovely morning run (with quite a bit of walking and swearing) up to the Hermitage of Sant Antoni (you can see it in my sunglasses) overlooking Peniscola<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"572\" class=\"wp-image-33707\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190208_145654-800x572.jpg\" alt=\"spanish hot chocolate\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190208_145654-800x572.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190208_145654-800x572-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190208_145654-800x572-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190208_145654-800x572-260x185.jpg 260w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190208_145654-800x572-705x504.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190208_145654-800x572-450x322.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>My reward for running and cycling &#8211; hot chocolate so thick you can stand a spoon up in it.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> <p>We&#8217;ve settled into the rhythm of things in Peniscola. The campsite comes to life around 9am as the sun warms the motorhomes, the &#8216;oooh la la&#8217;s&#8217; and &#8216;bonjours&#8217; of our neighbours, long lunches, the clacking of boules being played around 3pm and the claxon echoing across the town at 4pm signalling the fishing boats&#8217; return and the fish market auction beginning, shops opening after lunch at 5pm just when it&#8217;s getting dark. Before being here I couldn&#8217;t see the appeal of staying in one place for the winter. I can now totally see the appeal for the thousands of European &#8216;snow birds&#8217; who come to Spain in their motorhomes for months at a time. Being here I&#8217;ve seen the community spirit that the campsite has. Helped by the warm winter sun folks are out and about. Just like us with Mike and Victoria, the long-term campers are outside all day, sharing meals, going out cycling or walking together, playing boule and just enjoying life. This place is going to be hard to leave, but now the Oceanarium has given us something we want to see, which will give us the push to check out of the Hotel California &#8211; for now!<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"wp-image-33714\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_170317914_HDR-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Peniscola Castle renovations\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_170317914_HDR-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_170317914_HDR-800x450-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_170317914_HDR-800x450-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_170317914_HDR-800x450-705x397.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_170317914_HDR-800x450-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Peniscola Castle is having a bit of a facelift at the moment<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> <p>I&#8217;d happily come back to Peniscola, but maybe only at this time of the year. Looking at postcards of the beach in high season you can hardly see the sand for bodies. As it&#8217;s winter the beachfront cafes, bars and shops are all shut, as are the hotels and apartments and the &#8216;big sights&#8217; like the castle, all either closed or undergoing renovation, but we don&#8217;t mind. The places that are open are in the town, where the locals shop and eat. We are warmly greeted and very well fed for very little money, our smattering of Spanish appreciated. Although we do attract some stares as the locals walk around wrapped up in big coats I&#8217;ve ventured out in my shorts a few times.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"433\" class=\"wp-image-33712\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_165205980_HDR-800x433.jpg\" alt=\"View off Peniscola castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_165205980_HDR-800x433.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_165205980_HDR-800x433-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_165205980_HDR-800x433-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_165205980_HDR-800x433-705x382.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190207_165205980_HDR-800x433-450x244.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>We&#8217;ll miss this place when we leave.
