Tootling around Totana


Totana Plaza de Balsa Vieja
When we returned to the Camperstop Sierra Espuna at Totana we intended to stay a few days, this eventually became fifteen days as we found so much to do, walking up to the local restaurant for lunch ( the chef was having a crazy day and not only overdosed my prawn and sweet corn salad with sauce but created a Mr Blobby complete with caviar buttons - weird!!) days out on our bikes or going into town to sit in the plaza to drink coffee and watch the world go by (AKA People Watching)
This has to win a prize for the weirdest salad!


The weather didn't let us down with only a few days when 
the temperatures dipped, but we were still able to get out and about. The average daytime temperature here in January being about 15°c rising to over 20°c on a sunny afternoon, warm enough to sit outside and enjoy, on our days out cycling we would take a picnic and find a sheltered spot to sit and eat our sandwiches.
Lunch break at Nonihay on our way to Aledo
Our last cycle ride of our stay was up to the town of Aledo, a hilltop community of higgle de piggledy houses perched overlooking the panorama all around them. It's always tough cycling up the hills, but it is so lovely coming back down
All roads lead to Totana, but which one to take?

Finally after a most enjoyable time at Totana, it's time to move on to pastures new
