Christmas in Conil de la Frontera
After an overnight stay in Caceres, we arrived safely in Conil on Friday 13 December where we will be spending Christmas. We are staying at Camping La Rosaleda just outside this pretty Spanish resort. It is a pleasant walk into the town from the campsite. […]
Spanish Long Winter Break 2019/20

Salamanca and Restaurant Delicatessen
