It’s blue skies, butterflies, bees and blossom here in El Berro, a small hillside village on the edge of the Sierra Espuña National Park. The days are sunny, but the clear blue sky changes to a star-filled black night. We’re enjoying the warmth by day, but there’s no sitting out in the evening.
We first came to El Berro in 2007, having read about Camping Sierra Espuña in MMM. Since then, this small site has become popular with British campers seeking peace and quiet, bird-watching, walking, or cycling. The road from Alhama de Murcia to el Berro is only 14 kilometres but its twists and bends would be a challenge to large outfits; having said that, an RV made it here yesterday evening.
It’s good to see that the local olive and almond groves, some previously neglected, are being brought back into use. They’re being weeded and furrowed to catch what little rain falls here even in winter.
Tomorrow, the 24th is Chas’s 70th birthday so, unusually for a Scottish person, he’s standing his round in the campsite bar! We’ve met a lot of new chums since we arrived, and renewed some old valuable friendships so it could be an expensive evening.
Hope you like the photos.
