It has been a lovely day today. It may well get a bit chilly in the evening, but during the day, temperatures are still managing to reach the low twenties; as such, we took a drive down the old Santa Pola coast road. There were people milling about in the winter sun, the day was clear and you could see as far as Benidorm. The climate in this part of Spain, really is amazing for ones health and wellbeing; even a brief walk along the coast, is enough to blast the cobwebs away!
This is the area, directly in front of our house, that myself and Darrell are lucky enough to have access to. I believe it is called El Campo, although if I am wrong, please correct me, as I know my readers will!
The terrain is rugged and mountainous in places, very different to similar open countryside in Britain. This is the part of Spain, I love. Having such beautiful scenery on ones doorstep is a bonus; we are lucky to have it. Apparently one can walk from our house in Gran Alacant, to Santa Pola, using the walkways in this fantastic nature reserve. I'm not sure I will be doing it anytime soon, but may take up the challenge when I have free time. For now I will just enjoy this fabulous vista from the comfort of my bedroom terrace!
When I haven't been working, over the last few days, I've been cooking. I've been stocking up the freezer with meals for the winter. Both of us may well be earning money, but we are also saving; spending as little money as we can. Spain has taught me a lot in life, how to live frugally being one. Freezer stocked, I can finally sit down and relax, after cooking dinner of course!
