This site has such a different feel to the last place, which could well have been a holiday camp for the over 70's Tory Party. 90% plus were obviously long term Brits staying for the winter. Most of them would do their best to avoid even acknowledging you, with of course a few exceptions.
This site has a far better vide, a bit haphazard, but far more friendly. We're maybe the only Brits here. It’s mostly Spanish and German. So here’s my thoughts on this friendly or not stuff.
It’s got very little to do with nationality and a huge amount to do with location. The miserable sites, have without exception, been large, expensive and purport to be 4 star and above. The facilities need to be immaculate for a truly aloof and miserable ambience. Go figure.
So we can see and feel Morocco from here. The Atlas mountains are visible, but it’s pretty hazy. When I say feel, omg the southerly wind is just hot, hot, hot. Last night it felt like, for a laugh, someone had placed a fan heater on the roof and directed it through the powered vent. Talking of which. The Fiamma powered roof vent has been absolutely brilliant on this trip. Unfortunately, when we're not connected to the mains the battery/solar panel can only just cope with it running on its slowest speed for the night.
Post trip mod. A second 100watt panel and a bigger battery.
We'll hang around here for a few days, go into Tarifa and visit a Roman fishing village a few km's North.
Morocco, probably around the 26th. But.....just checked the weather for Essouria. 39 Celsius!!
