I was at Los Escullos (spelt correctly this time) - this is the local beach. There's not much else here - a hotel and a few houses. There's a small town just up the coast a bit - La Isletta (I think) - you can see it in the picture. The nearest reasonable sized town is San Jose to the south. I would have preferred to stay there but the campsite is closed in winter.
I cycled to San Jose on the coast track. It started off quite wide and a good surface
but soon I had to get off and push
I didn't see another person for 2 hours
A bit scary squeezing past the rockfall
the end is in sight
Lovely little town on nice bay with a small harbour
and restaurants! - Is this what you're talking about MikeF?
Refreshed, I cycled back on the road. Much quicker.
I visited Nijar nice but "touristy" (except no tourists at this time of year)
Famous for the rugs they make here
... and gangs of cats!
Las Negras
Finally a competition. A bottle of Rioja for the first correct answer.
What is this a picture of?

Yesterday I started the journey North (didn't really want to). Last night I stayed near Benidorm. Tonight I'm at Vilanova i la Geltru, just south west of Barcelona. I should be home by next weekend.

If the mood takes you, you could always swing by us on the way back. Just get some chains.

Nice pictures of your ride to San Jose. We did the same ride and wondered if you had been there before us. Good photo of Janice at rockfall corner which is on my facebook. Hope you are having a safe trip back to the icy north through the hurricanes and all.
