We didn't leave Calahonda on Monday as expected, we did in fact stay until Wednesday. It was difficult to leave as there is so much to do in the area and some of the bars and restaurants are fantastic. Monday we found a small nature walk just a few minutes from the site and after wandering around for an hour or so crossed over onto the beach and discovered a fantastic beach bar called lunar beach. We had to sample a few beers with lunch, mussels seaman style. Fantastic.

We will definitely return to Calahonda and as for Los Jarales, the site is ok if a little tight in places and the number of long termers do make the place look a little untidy. That aside the facilities were always kept clean and the showers were probably the most powerful we've used during our travels. It is also in a good or for exploring locally and further afield.
Wednesday saw us move east to Roquetas de Mar for an overnight stop. The parking area is next to the beach with lots of open park land. We took a walk around town but found most of it to be shut. Even the large hotels were closed. Still it was a nice view for the evening even if we did have to deal with 50kmh winds.
This morning we have moved about 1 1/2 hours along the coast to Cabot de Gata. Again the parking area is right next to the beach and it's another one of those towns that has lots of housing but no people. If it wasn't for the 20 or so motorhomes parked up the place would be a ghost town. Still we did manage to find a bar on the sea front for a beer or two and tapas.
We may stay a couple of nights or move again tomorrow, the problem we have now is that there is still so much to see and we are rapidly running out of time.
