Another week in Chulilla goes by and the nights are getting very chilly.

We have a great spot for the night between some olive trees.

There is no campsite in Chulilla and most of the van life climbers use the main car park in the village.

Mid November has a super moon and I feel lucky to be in a place to witness it glowing in all its glory.

My birthday comes at the weekend so we spend it in Calpe staying a very nice but extremely busy campsite and walking in the Peñón de Ifach national park.

After months in the van its small pleasure that I miss… Having a shower whenever I like and this campsite has some pretty good ones.

Now we are in Costa Blanca hoping to spend a good portion of the winter months around this area.

We have been to the Costa Blanca in total of  3 pervious trips during Easter bank holidays.

Sella, Guadalest and places south of Alicante. Van life will give us an opportunity to revisit familiar places and discover new.

After testing out Calpe we drive to Guadalest which is a pretty tourist village in the hills past Benidorm.

The forecast is a little iffy but Guadalest has virtually no approach, easy to make a dash back to Stan if needed.

It turns out that it's hard to predict the weather around this time of year because it's so changeable.

Guadalest's newer routes have some sharp rough limestone and some really lovely routes, most are named making finding them a piece of cake.

We meet another van life couple Rob and Tess and share stories of places we've been to finding we've been in some of the same location at the similar timing.

 It's nice to share our experiences with liked mind people.

They will also be around Southern Spain for a few months, hopefully we'll bump into them again.
