Well, that’s it folks, 2020 is no more, happy New Year 2021! This is a bit of a catch-all blog post for what’s happening in Team Zagan at the moment here on the Costa del Sol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 Campsite Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’re currently parked up at Camping Cortijo San Miguel<\/a>, about 1km west of Nerja on the coast south of Granada. When we were here in February 2020<\/a> we were squeezed into one of the last available spots, beneath a palm tree whose fronds wafted the van roof on evenings the wind picked up. A multi-national community surrounded us, snowbirds if you like, who’d headed here to enjoy one of the best climates on mainland Europe for the winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Couple<\/a>

When we returned in October 2020<\/a>, the site felt almost deserted, but not quite, some hardy souls had toughed it out all through the lockdown and the summer. We were greeted with a good humored but serious temperature check, automatic hand sanitiser dispensers and a request to keep our masks on anywhere on the site other than our pitch (and when we’re taking a shower). The local Spanish law around nighttime curfews and restrictions on group sizes was attached to the campsite gates, and the outside reception desk had moved behind a Perspex screen. Over the last few days (since regional travel restrictions have been lifted for Christmas in Spain) a few other motorhomes have arrived, but the site is still relatively empty and devoid of many of the guests who normally return year after year (several pitches have an informal title: we’re currently on ‘Geoff’s Pitch’ for example).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside the site, the most visible changes to Nerja were the reduced number of tourists, many closed hotels and restaurants and the fact pretty much everyone wears a facemask unless they’re sat eating (or smoking). On our second return<\/a>, following a trip back to the UK for my mother’s funeral, I was struck by just how much freedom is available here compared with the UK, a sensation which has grown since our home county was placed into Tier 4 a few days ago, effectively another stay-at-home order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Playa<\/a>
Playa Playazo isn’t the prettiest of Nerja’s many beaches, but the road alongside is usually busy with tourists and locals taking sunset walks.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are bars and restaurants are open though, although relatively few people choose to sit inside as it’s still around 14\u00b0C and full sun during the day, so comfortable enough to sit outside. There aren’t many UK-style ‘pubs’ here but at one point we walked past one of them and I was shaken by the sight of a couple of blokes stood supping a pint outside, a totally normal scene, in normal times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We<\/a>

New Year 2021 in Nerja<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The COVID rates in Nerja are pretty low, roughly half those of Cornwall. Although it feels like the town is taking the problem very seriously, we’re not in anything like a full lockdown here. For Christmas and New Years Eve places selling alcohol had to close at 6pm, but were allowed to re-open at 8pm for a couple of hours. Last night we took a walk into the town and ate a doble<\/em> apiece, a double cone topped with two from a range of mouth watering flavours of ice cream. We took them and headed to a bench on the practically-deserted Balc\u00f3n de Europa, Nerja’s centrepiece lookout over the Mediterranean. The church nearby rang its bells, announcing its open doors. I took a look inside, through the usual ‘airlock’ of double doors which were propped wide open for ventilation. The pews were nigh-on empty but, even for cynical atheist me, a sense of calm and peace flowed out and through me. The church has survived through plagues before, and it reminded me again that this too shall pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a>
The car park opposite the site is used as an informal airport – quite bizarre really but it starts to look normal after a few days!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As we headed back towards the van, in the ‘firebreak’ 6pm to 8pm window, we walked through Nerja’s small party strip. The nightclubs were shut, but the ‘young-uns’ milled around the temporarily closed bars, waiting for the drinks to start flowing again. Even though a few of them were clearly already a tad worse for wear, many of them still worse face masks. Social distancing wasn’t exactly happening mind you, so we didn’t hang about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Watching<\/a>
Watching the last sunset of 2020 in Nerja<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Back at the van we WhatsApp’d our friends back home, really enjoying seeing them. They’re a positive lot, but are effectively locked in the house with freezing temperatures outside, which made us again appreciate the relative warmth and freedom we have here at the moment. We spent the final few hours of 2020 watching TV (our Fire TV Stick<\/a> and Superdrug Mobile SIM<\/a> which are both working well) before standing outside the van to watch a smattering of fireworks erupt into the black sky at midnight. As the official Nerja display was cancelled, hearing claps from other isolated groups across the valley gave us a feeling of attachment and solidarity with our Spanish hosts. Inside I played Auld Lang Syne on my phone, and thought about mum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Locker and Video Gadgetry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the years we’ve popped up a ton of videos onto our YouTube channel<\/a>, the latter ones recorded with the great quality cameras you get on smartphones these days. We’ve never used a stabilising device (a gimbal) and have rarely used an external microphone, which reduced the quality of some of the material we created, which has, perhaps, been partly responsible for us creating little video content recently. There are other reasons too, but feeling the urge to splurge as a Christmas present to myself I’ve coughed up for a DJI Osmo 3 Smartphone Gimbal<\/a> and a R\u00d8DE VideoMic Me directional microphone<\/a>. These should produce smoother videos with less windnoise, but we’ve only had chance for a quick play so I’ve nothing to show you just yet. I did a ton of research to try and be sure these would work with my Xiomi Redmi Note 8<\/a>, but couldn’t be 100% sure, especially with the mic, but they both work fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New<\/a>

Getting packages while on the road can be a pain, especially if you’re moving a lot and have no fixed itinerary. In the past we’ve had mixed success with post restante<\/a> (where post offices across Europe hold your parcel for a small fee) and getting stuff sent to campsite receptions. While the family who run the site here will accept parcels, and have taken a few for us while we’ve been here, we’d spotted an Amazon Locker at a garage a few hundred metres up the road and wanted to give it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Collecting<\/a>
Collecting a parcel from an Amazon Locker in Spain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I found I had to order the kit from amazon.es, as if I used amazon.co.uk the Amazon Locker here wasn’t available to choose as a delivery address. I could still use our UK Amazon login details, and paid in euros from a UK debit card, no problemo. I used Google Translate to render amazon.es into English so I could check all the details. While it’s taken weeks for small parcels to arrive here from the UK in the past, it took 4 days for my parcels to arrive and that was over the Christmas period. For each delivery Amazon sent us an email (again in Spanish, but our phone let us easily translate it) with a barcode, which we just had to wave under a scanner at the locker. A random door in the bank of lockers automatically popped open and voila, we had our parcel, we just had to push the door shut with an elbow (or the parcel itself) to make it totally contactless. Fantastic service, and we’ll definitely use it again in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2021 and the Wheel Bearings of Doom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve been reading this blog over the past couple of years you’ll have come across the small saga we’re having with the driver’s side front wheel bearings. They’ve failed three times in the space of as many years, and as we hammered our way across Spain in October, a rhythmic hum above the engine noise suggested they were on their way out yet again. In the panic to get home when mum died, we’d been trying to get a local mechanic to come and look at the wheel but after a number of no-shows we gave up and flew home, postponing the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since getting back Ju’s popped a message on the Nerja Lovers Facebook Group asking for recommendations. Despite the name, this collection of folks are less interested in amourous dating on the costa and more with the charms of this area of the Axarqu\u00eda. The name David at Team Noria came up time and again, an English-speaking mechanic at a garage only a mile away. We had a walk over there and after a brief chat with David came away feeling confident he can sort the issue for us. Like a few other helpful folks have suggested, he seems sure the ‘hub’ which holds the bearings is probably damaged and needs repairing or replacing before new ones are fitted. We’re keen to get the problem sorted once and for all, and will decamp and nip the van over on Monday for him to eyeball. As Nerja’s Lidl is closed and in the process of being turned into some kind of Hyper-Lidl, we’ll take the opportunity to nip down to the Lidl at Torrox Costa a few miles towards M\u00e1laga and get stocked up – win win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brexit, The Final Frontier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, it’s finally happened, the UK has completed the process of leaving the EU as of about 10 hours ago. I’ll be honest: I feel a sense of loss with no associated sense of gain. Now that the full impact on motorhome travel outside the UK is becoming clear we’ve been busy updating The Motorhome Touring Handbook<\/a> for 2021 (quite a bit’s changed, so it’ll be a while for us to edit and proof it before we can publish the new edition, so bear with us). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know most folks won’t be able to spend months or years touring Europe like we’ve been able to this past decade, so the logistical impact for many of us will be limited to; checking the expiry date on passports, slapping a GB sticker on the back of the van, swapping EHICs for GHICs and getting a Green Card from our insurer (more details here<\/a>). For those gearing up for a very long tour though, or for multiple tours, there’s more to consider, especially if you want to take your pooch or moggy with you. Long tours remain possible, and we’ve given lots of advice for making them a success in the book, but I can’t say it was fun explaining the additional hurdles new tourers will inevitably face once Europe starts to re-open to fellow Brits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Next in Team Zagan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our immediate future is here, on the campsite in Nerja. We’ve booked a ferry across the Bay of Biscay for early March after Ju spotted the March ferries were starting to fill up, presumably with non-resident Brits like us heading for home before their new shiny 90-in-180-days Schengen Area limit renders them illegal immigrants (apologies for the sour tone, I’ll get over it, I promise!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met up with friends the other day who’ve been full-timing for five years now. They were free camping by a beach in Portugal when the pandemic lockdowns happened in the spring, being asked to go to a campsite by the police. When it became clear all the campsites were closed to new entrants, they rented an apartment for a few weeks before getting back into the van and out on the road again. It was great chatting with them, and it’s clearly possible to still tour even in the depths of a pandemic (local laws allowing), but we’re staying put here for the time being to see what happens next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the rest of 2021, we’re pondering goals and aims. We’ve another book we’re working on called The 200, which describes 200 of the most interesting and inspirational places we’ve stayed in our motorhome, and we hope to get that published in the next month or two (editing and proofing a 250 page book takes yonks!). Ju’s training for a 20 mile run in late March and I’m waiting for a 50 mile marathon in Wales to be confirmed for later in 2021. I also want to spend more time with dad once he’s been inoculated and it feels safer to be around him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
The 200 – Soon to be Added to our Line Up of Books<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So we have some goals in mind, but I’m finding it hard to get excited about stuff right at this very moment, the soaring infection rates in the UK are impossible to ignore, even though we’re parking up here in relative paradise. Vaccines are being deployed at breakneck speeds though and by the time we return millions will have been jabbed, with millions more before the summer. As soon as the infection curve starts to bend back downwards as 2021 progresses I know I’ll be more enthused with life, probably more fired up than I have been for months, years even, so I’m working to keep that in mind through these next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
