El Puerto de Santa Maria

Ok so I am sitting down with a glass of Red writing the blog after a full day in the sunshine in El Puerto de Santa Maria near Cadiz in Andulucia. We started the day with cycle along the coastal path to get our bearings and found several good playgrounds for the boys as well as a nice local bar/restaurant that I was able to order take away fried Octopus, Chips and a Tuna salad for Sue! After spending some time back at the site we set off on the bikes with James in the Tag Along Carriage (tired after the trampolines) and sue in her running gear!

We followed the coastal bike path for 3 miles and came across a very nice marina and associated restaurants and shops etc. (Mini Puerto Banus) as well as a replica Spanish Galleon docked on the harbour wall. Sue ran for six miles while we chased after on our bikes although we had the speed edge going downhill!

Unfortunately this area celebrates Easter the week before and therefore its shutting down again this week so not much going on and no waer in the pool. With a family of swimmers this is serious trouble so we are heading off to a very nice site just past Marbella called Camping Cabopino with two heated pools that are open, one indoor and one outside. Site has sea views and a nice beach so we will be there tomorrow knowing me. Weather is still sunny there but not as hot but thats a price worth paying to keep the troupe occupied and happy as little fishes :-)
