After almost a week at La Azohia we decided to have a few days at one of our favourite places - Camperstop Sierra Espuna at Totana, about 30km inland and at the foot of the mountains of the Sierra Espuna national park.
Here we can cycle along the canal path or along the local roads to remote villages and towns. Once again we find friends there that we have met before so immediately feel at home.
The weather warms up a notch and we have a couple of days out exploring on our bikes and relaxing in the sunshine.
On New Years Eve we headed back to Rojales to spend the evening with Janet and Frank. We had a wonderful meal and at midnight we watched the fireworks all around us from their roof terrace. It was an incredibly unique sight to behold - from the terrace you could see dozens of firework displays some near and some far away on the coast around Torrevieja. We toasted the New Year with a fizzy drink and 12 grapes - a Spanish tradition, making a wish with each grape, one for each month of the year.

On New Years Day we headed to the packed beach of La Marina to exercise the dogs, there were hundreds of people there, mostly ex-pats, enjoying the first day of the year in the sunshine with a BBQ on the beach. What a wonderful way to start the New Year!
Us with Nela, Luca & Poppy
