Isla Christina 🇪🇸

With the weather not being good for a few days we decided to head for Spain. Through our lovely motorhome community we were recommended a site in Isla Christina.

As we are out of season in most of the places we visit, which are in the non touristy areas, our expectations are set accordingly. Pools are not open, bars sporadic, but we are generally greeted by welcoming reception staff and lots of fellow travellers, and Camp Giralda hit the spot!

Day one was rained off, but day two we decided to put the on dreaded raincoats and explore!

The beach (on a sunny day) is beautiful. Lots of (closed) beach bars which we could only imagine being a wonderful place to visit in August 😂.

Glad to report in our usual exploration style we found a little local bar, had a few glasses of lush local wine and a delicious risotto of cheese and prawns, (Ian had equally as good tuna meatballs). It always amazes us how well we can eat and drink in Spain at a relatively low price.

Day three we were lucky to have the sunshine and felt the need for exercise so after a morning of household chores, walked the coastline to the marina.

We ended up in the centre of town and ate some ‘premier Jamon’ with a glass of reserva vino tinto, and ended up at La Sal for ‘una copa de vino o dos’.

We popped back to Bettine for dinner (we had a fridge full of food to be eaten and a chef on board 😉) and headed back for a Friday night out in town.

We frequented lots of local bars and ended up back at La Sal for more vino and croquettes. Made a few new friends including Maria and her dog Coco and the barman ‘el jefe camereo’.

We grew into Isla Christina out of season and felt we experienced a little bit of authentic Huelva.
