Christmas in La Azohia

Cooking Christmas Lunch 🎅🏽🎁🎄

Three weeks has passed by since I last posted and Christmas has been and gone, we have lived a social whirl, feeling like we have as many friends in Spain as we have back home in the UK. After a few days enjoying our return to Castellon we headed further south to the Murcia area to visit our friends Janet and Frank in Rojales then on to spend Christmas wild camping in La Azohia (just south of Cartagena). We love it there, camped up right by the beach with loads of walking and cycling opportunities in the vicinity. 

We were also able to meet up with our friends Maureen and Andy and spend some time with them socialising over a beer or two and on a day out walking up and over the hills to a secret beach inaccessible by car.

We were lucky enough to have wonderful weather for the whole of the Christmas period and although it was a bit windy on Christmas Day, Keith and I cooked our Christmas lunch on the beach - Turkey steaks with grilled veg and mushroom risotto followed by caramel panacotta. This is the first time we have ever spent Christmas abroad and cooking on the beach has always been a dream we have finally made a reality!

On Boxing Day we headed out into the hills on our bikes to the remote village of Tallenta where we stopped for tapas 
and a coffee and that evening we were treated to an incredible sunset, the changing colours were amazing, it felt almost surreal like as though we were sitting watching it on a widescreen in the cinema
