We've been enjoying the hikes, walks, beach and generally chilling in the area as the campsite gradually fills up.  The weather has been great, it's not warm unless you get out of the wind and bake in the sun a bit, but the sun has been shining every day (which is an unheard of Christmas season phenomenon for us = after 13 years in the UK!)

We were intrigued by the rock formations at Playa del Arco, the local beach.  I read up on it and it turns out it is a series of fossilised dunes, very interesting.






Today we cycled into San Jose and explored the village, riding up every steep road (and there were plenty) and ending up at the marina, watching a myriad of fish in the water.  The sea life here seems fairly prolific, probably due to being on the edge of a marine reserve - which gives the fish and sea-life some chance of survival.









We headed back later and had festive Christmas-eve lunch in the sun - complete with our tiny little Christmas tree - thanks Ettienne & Debbi.  The campsite got quite noisy for the first time with some of the Brits and some of the Dutch getting together in separate groups for a boozy afternoon 'kuier' (no, we did not join the British group.....or the Dutch one.  The SA group of 2 had a quiet game of Scrabble instead 😊)
