• Communal breakfast at Rec.On

    January 19, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    Set the alarm in time for communal breakfast before leaving the Rec.On campsite. Good coffee, green tea for John, bread, almond flower honey, and parma ham. Again, the company was good and we met Paulina, who's the partner of Bart. They are the Polish owners. A really lovely couple who clearly genuinely enjoy mixing with people. A group of about 10 people relaxed around the table chatting together. We discussed Brexit, pensions, immigration issues in Germany, Netherlands and the UK and more. We had further conversations with Dieter, who we met last night, and his wife Christina. They gave us some tips re good places to visit. He also told us his job history after I asked him about it. It was interesting but strangely, his answers were all directed at John. The only time I got eye contact was when I spoke directly, but then it was very noticibly back to John. That said, we enjoyed it and generally enjoyed our time there more than we had expected on first arrival. An interesting place with interesting people.
    We left there and came here to a very relaxed campsite an hour's drive further west. Great showers, good washing machine, tumble dryer and lots of space and peace.
    It started raining just as we took a quickie 10 min stroll down to the lake, which is very low, and the site of a recently defunct restaurant.
    I took a photo of the menu for the campsite restaurant and put it through Google Lens to translate. One dish on offer was lizard with potatoes and another was fuck thigh! (See pic)
