A strange natural sculpture at Bolnuevo

After leaving Totana our next destination was Bolnuevo a delightful coastal resort renowned for Gredas de Bolnuevo - a curious formation of naturally sculpted rock formed over millions of years by wind erosion of the soft limestone creating a magical landscape. A vast car park by the Gredas meant there was plenty of space for a handful of motorhomes to park (ignoring the 'No motorhomes' sign - during low season the police regularly patrol but don't bother to move us on)

We were also able to walk along the coastal path south, a rugged path following the ups and downs of the coast with a few secluded rocky beaches. We were joined by our friends Maureen and Andy for the walk on what turned out to be the hottest day of our trip so far. 

The sea was a beautiful shade of turquoise on our walk from Bolnuevo

We then returned to La Azohia having left last time with 'unfinished business ' i.e. Walks and cycle rides still to do. The weather became changeable, but we were still able to get out every day either walking or cycling. We felt we were getting to know the area better and went out walking in the hills, but without Andy guiding the way we got lost and never found our way to the secret beach, instead we found ourselves wandering around in the scrub having lost the path. Nevertheless we had a lovely walk with fabulous views.

Andy and Maureen took us out one day to one of their favourite restaurants which is actually a truck stop, but forget all thoughts of 'Greasy slice' ! For 10€ per person we had a four course meal with coffee and drinks included. The food was traditionally Spanish with a shared mixed salad as first course followed by mixed seafoods soup or meat stew then for main course was Pork cheek stew, fish or lamb chops. Dessert was Flan (creme caramel) , chocolate or cheesecake or icecream.

The atmosphere was typical Spain with the TV in the corner and noisy hustle & bustle, but the staff were friendly and welcoming, busy with lunchtime trade and a fairly rapid turnover of customers.

Andy and Maureen weren't sure we would like it there, but we loved the traditional Spanish ambiance and really enjoyed the food. If you're passing that way it's called La Cruce at Ramonete on the RM-332.
Well recommended!
