Lenny's Heading South, not a Clue Where.

I love that area down there. You don't hear of many folks going down there.
We haven't been in a motorhome but have been quite a few times from Portugal.

We found La Rabida interesting, with the Columbus museum and monastery where Combus stayed while trying to petition Queen Isabella to finance his voyages to the new world.
You used to be able to overnight in the car park near the ships.

I liked this photo I forgot to load it last night.

Just had a look at p4n just to see what there is as never looked for motorhome parking there before.
And it looks as if there are loads.

Blimey, Lenny! Where's the lagoon gone?
It's a good few years since we were there, but those horses should be standing in water!
Alan, Speve used to go there every winter for the birding. That's where we met them.
I think he's stopped going now because of the lagoon drying up.

Just caught up with this, are you still in El Rocio? We just arrived! Lovely weather for ducks.

 

[Lenny HB]

Left this morning having a 4x4 tour of the park at the moment.
Sorry to have missed you.

Have been following this thread with interest…… but I am completely discombobulated by Lenny HB ’s current behaviour. From comments made so far, I am obviously not alone!

Various explanations have been offered for Lenny’s extraordinary behaviour. How can this champion of FLTing and budget eating have changed so much?

Perhaps, as has been suggested, it is the consequence of owning a “premium” MoHo and the feeling of obligation to live up to the image. Perhaps he has won the Lottery. Or, perhaps it is the lack of sufficient onboard Lithium to run all the electrical gadgets that is forcing the need for EHU….. but this would not explain the frequent extravagant eating out!

Yes we were there earlier this year as we had not been for some time only stayed four days as the birding was not good and la Aldea site has been spoilt they have surrounded the touring pitches with chalets making the area very enclosed and we had swarms of really nasty mossies all the time. The lagoon did have a drop of water but the whole are had declined badly shan’t be visiting again.
Here’s the lagoon in 2016

Apparently it gets overrun at weekends.

& at the Romeria del Rocio you would be jostling with around 1 million other visitors.

Yes. Not that I didn't believe you but got quite a few up and as you say motorhomes are now banned pretty much all over.
