It's really lovely there and stretches for miles I have biked around it but you couldn't walk if in a day. They also have an area that is reserved which you can visit on Saturday mornings only by appointment. It's great , we have done it before we had Poppy things are different now of course with the pooch. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin

Thanks Lynda it was a different stop over to the previous ones we have had there . Thanks for watching Helen and Martin

She is a wriggle bum though and licks ears. She runs with us now she is old enough and we have noticed that she is more fidgety in the K9 sport sack as she wants to be down - she absolutely loves running . We ran 8 miles yesterday and stopped to take a selfie for Strava, she gave us such a b*llocking for stopping. Thanks for watching , hope you don't mind me talking about , we know it's a tough time for you guys God bless and best wishes H and M

@@HelenandMartinsTreks thank you but it’s ok, it’s still nice to see other dogs living their best life 😍

Thanks Roger we love our e-bikes, we have 4,000 Kilometres on them now , it means we can park up the van and reach places. The essentials list does seem to get longer doesn't it. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin

Hi guys , not so my UK vans as we normally see , I guess things have just got complicated this year. We have enjoyed looking at your pictures from home, absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. The weather has been mixed her to for a few weeks but it looks like it's turning now. Thanks for watching , keep posting the Norfolk pictures on Instagram H and M

It did take some cleaning , glad we had it ceramic coated , made it a bit easier. The sky was really intense and the air thick with sand. A big apocalyptic almost 😂. Thanks for watching guys. H and M

We are having weird weather aren't we everywhere , never mind as Billy Conelly said there is no such thing as bad weather just the wrong clothes. It gave H chance to thrash me at Scrabble as well - she's so competitive . Thanks for watching Helen and Martin

Hi George and Trish, thankfully the weather picked up after that but we did enjoy some social time with our Dutch friends , they are really good guys. The van thankfully has been ceramic coated so it didn't take much effort to clean. Thanks for watching , best wishes H and M

It's a top spot , and it's huge ! sometimes the Flamingo's are there in large numbers that is some sight to see. Thanks for watching Helen and Martin

Hi Sue, thankfully the weathers picked up now , you would enjoy the bike rides at this place. We were glad to see the back of the sandstorm mind you. Thanks for watching all the very best H and M

Hi Ann , there is miles of track in every direction at that site , it's brilliant for cycling . We have been going for about five years so we sort got to know them all but i am sure there are some we have yet to discover. Glad you enjoyed the music and thanks for watching . Best wishes Helen and Martin

Thank you and thanks for watching , best wished Helen and Martin

@@HelenandMartinsTreks Thank you very mutch... have a nice day.... see you….

Hi Sylvia no reported shortages yet but we are watching the situation. The Spanish Government cut €0.20 a litre of the price of fuel here today so we are hoping things will be ok. Thanks for watching as always we really appreciate it , best wishes Helen and Martin

It's a very large site it's true but very well equipped especially for people looking to winter in one location , which a lot of caravans do of course. That's how we found in 2017 we brought our caravan for the winter, local train network linked us with Murcia , Alicante , Madrid , Altea and Valencia . Great bike routes to from the site and surprisingly given the size of the site the area isn't very tourist focused which tbh we liked. I think i saw on the live last night that you are going to Rob and Lynns meet , we are going to , so hopefully we'll get to say hello. Thanks for watching and commenting best wishes Helen and Martin.

@@HelenandMartinsTreks it sounds an ideal location, and one for us to definitely consider 👍 Yes we are going to Rob and Lynns meet, so it will be absolutely fantastic to meet you both 😍 Cassie and Derren

That would be bad , the ceramic coating came into it's own though so it soon washed off. That said it was as bad again two days later. 😂 Thanks for watching H and M

She licks ears and hurts your ear drums barking at passing birds, but otherwise she is not too bad 😂😂. Spain is great we love it and we never feel like we're not getting good value. Portugal next though for a week or so before the Pico's for Easter. Thanks very so for watching see you soon H and M

Hi Jean , I saw from a friends photo the sand had reached home incredible weather we are having year on year it seems. Things have picked up this end thankfully and we seeing some lovely places . We love the Spanish people and find them really friendly so we in our element. Thanks for watching and yes , definitely a blue job.

Hey Jeff , great to hear from you , hope you are both well . We were only talking about you guys recently, we dropped into Bonterra Park the scene of your Petanque triumph 😂😂😂😂. They were happy memories , hopefully we meet up soon and can relive them over a glass of something. Best wishes to Hazel - Helen and Martin

@@HelenandMartinsTreks lets make it happen we are now proud grandparents to william 7 weeks today .

@@jefftallis9944 Fantastic news congratulations

I don't know how we managed to keep Poppy calm on the boardwalk - she hates birds but she is also not a fan of water and will not get her feet wet lightly , we think this might have been a restraining influence. Thanks for commenting and watching , best wishes H and M

It's picking up nicely now Bridget thank you , the odd shower but it's that time of year. Madrid is amazing , we actually left the van in Alicante in 2018 caught the fast train to Madrid and stayed in the Air BNB for a few nights. One of our favourite cities, in fact we prefer it to Barcelona all told. This was pre poppy of course. Have fun in Alicante another great area. Our next VLOG is from Villajoyosa just north of Alicante - out next week. Thanks for watching and commenting best wishes and happy travels Helen and Martin

Hi Ian , we had the van ceramic coated and to be honest it's a dream to wash nothing gets grimed into the paintwork it just wipes off really. I shoot a Nikon Z7ii mirrorless camera , with z series lens apart from the one in this VLOG which is a Sigma Nikon fit 600mm. A much cheaper option that the equivalent Z lens and given I don't do much wildlife photograph represents decent value for money for us. You'll love Spain , a country that has everything with nice people who are pleased to see us. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures in the Face Book Group. Best wishes Helen and Martin

Hi Tina, Probably not the best for long walks with dogs we have come across , there is an exercise area and you can walk into the local villages and a local nature reserve where access is allow on leads , which is a nice walk but if your wanting various different options there’s not so many available. It’s a biking place though , we took Poppy on our bikes and we are thinking about getting a Buddy Rider for the next trip as we calling there in March. We have previously used the K9 Sports sack , but she’s got a bit wriggly . Without dogs you can catch the local trains to Murcia and onwards. Hope that helps best wishes Helen and Martin .

Thank you so very much for you very swift and helpful response. We are struggling to find availability anywhere along the costa Blanca for the festive period. Obviously we should have booked earlier. I shall keep looking. Tina
