Welshboy,
Do you know “Calahonda”,or “Deep bay” in English.It is a quaint fishing village,6 kms east of Motril.Not the Calahonda in Malaga.Parked the wagon there a few times over the years.Granadians fill it up in the summer,not many tourists.Chris Stewart,lives near Olvega,a farm and holiday cottage called the “Duque”,in a fertile valley,near the big dam,that was built,on the Motril to Granada road.Chris was a drummer in Genises,but left before anyone knew Phill Collins.Chris writes about living in Spain,among 3 titles such as “Parrot in the pepper tree”,"Driving over lemons,are well worth reading.It is a deep rutted track to get to the holiday cottage,4x4 needed,especialy when the place floods in the winter.Not unknown for a sheperd to peer in to the cottage,when my mum was changing.We found an abondoned house,with bullet holes in the walls,and milatary uniforms from the “Franco” era.The place was in ruins.Do you see much of Insight transport,out of Inkberrow,Midlands,UK,do Gibraltar round trips.Guy on there called “Monty”,who likes the drink at night stops.

see insight all the time, one of them is on here “hombre” lives in same town as me so we sometimes partake of a beverage or three :smiley:

Thought I was the only one to read his books. There was some pictures of the dam (along with many more), in an interesting diary of a removal job to Spain posted by DEANB around April last year.

Chris Stewart was on BBC tv this morning promoting a new book called “How to capsise a yacht”,he was skippering in Greece.Stills lives in “El Valero”,wont move to big villa in Marbella.
