Lenny's Search for Winter Sun

[Lenny HB]

Then on to Montblanc a quick walk round and a bit of shopping.

 

[Lenny HB]

Now holed up at La Selva del Camp. Nice free Camper Stop free services and EHU, barrier entrance you have to phone the municipal for the code but a Belgium lady came over and gave us the code.

 

[Lenny HB]

Top quality mod on the hab door of the van next door, not even that older van.

 

[Lenny HB]

Boring old curry for dinner, with best quality wine of course.

Strawberries & cream were nice.

Is that wine drinkable Lenny last cheapo Spanish carton I bought had to be diluted with lemonade to make it drinkable.

That one is very nice a bit pricey €1.60/Lt. The 80 cent stuff can be a bit iffy.

A wander up the village today, typical old Spanish village, a few bits of city wall and old Roman aquaduct up the top of the town. We carried on for a mile or two in the countryside.

 

[Lenny HB]

Nice stopover but a bit of a desert when it comes to restaurants, then just before we got back to the van saw this little restaurant didn't look much from outside but a gem inside nice family run restaurant.

And now for @Clarky & @Robert Clark and all the other foodies.

Was the wine okay as I stayed there last year and it was rotten plus no plastic cups.

Wine was actually very good. Although we saw the sign saying cups were available, we took a plastic water bottle and filled it up.
Your not supposed to take the wine away so we sat down near the fountain and drank it.

Was you main squid pasta? If so, did it have the spine like the €5 meal in Portugal.

It was black pasta (I think squid ink) but no nasties just prawns & mussels, you should have seen the state of me after peeling the prawns and eating it. Black lips, fingers and black under my nails.
Tasted nice.

Wrong thread or not you were a bit out.

 

[Lenny HB]

After telling my mate Jon @JonP about a nice cassette empty point on the Camper Stop he insisted I posted a pic of it.
Couldn't resist knowing how you lot love a toilet thread.

 

[Lenny HB]

Moved on today to Parc Natural del Delta de L'Ebre, nice Camper Stop owned by the restaurant and it's free. Large marked out gravel pitches with a proper access road all free apart from €3 to service, no obligation to eat there.
When we arrived only ½doz cars in the carpark but the restaurant was rammed so the Motorhomes are doing there bit, we will eat there tomorrow.

You could sit on that and cut the MH out the process.

Stick them in the fridge, whatever the colour is the best way.

It's a bit rural out there @Lenny HB.

Stopped there a couple of years ago after @Robert Clark recommended it. Surrounded by rice paddies (Paddys? Didn't notice many Oirish around) and birds.
Never did venture into the restaurant though.

Richard.

 

[Lenny HB]

Absolutely rammed tonight, just had I think Spanish guy come between me and next van parked so close I could only just get my hands door open. I told home where to go and pointed out the pitch markings he sat there for 10 Min then moved off.

With it this busy probably won't bother with the restaurant

We pulled on here a few months back but didn’t stay because of the Mosquitoes we were attached within minutes,sadly we missed what looked a nice Restaurant.

Got woken up at the unearthly hour of 6:50am by an almighty bang, the whole van shook and resonated followed by small pops sounding like fireworks, didn't sound like shotguns but I don't really know what a shotgun sounds like.

A lot of spanish motorhomers say when parking, use the principal mother in law, you have to have her living close enough to give you a hand, but far enough away so they do not bother you. ( google translate )
The Italians must love the mother in law.

We have the Carnaval today and disco starts at midnight until the early hours it's the start of lent, and I would say happens all over Spain.

Plus it's the weekend and the Spanish will be out in force, enjoy. Bob.

Ps just spotted where you are and it probably hunters killing anything that moves.

+ carnival started everywhere as well this weekend

 

[Lenny HB]

Crazy Spanish most that came in late last night gone by 10 this morning, filled up with another lot now and the carpark next door is full. Interesting although it's free a guardian comes round and has a go at anyone who is not in the allocated space i.e. wheels over the white line you get told off. Funny really keeps the Spanish & French in their place.

 

[Lenny HB]

And for the foodies we ate in the restaurant very interesting.

Artichokes & mushroom salad.

Baby squid & octopus, with artichokes.

A close up.

Some crunchy fried veg with a fried egg chopped up & mixed in - very nice.

White fish, rice & something with artichokes of course.

Salted cod.

Pud.

And finally little box of local rice with the bill.

To say we were stuffed is an understatement.

Any guess's on the bill then boys & girls. Wine, water & coffee included.

€39

Was it Lunch or Dinner?
