This ended up being a lovely relaxed family run campsite, just to the left of Perpignan. It was a bit of a haven as we were able to get a load of washing and cleaning done - not easy in a motorhome!
We had the duvets hanging from the awning, washing dangling from the cycle rack strung up to a tree, Dean getting stressed as we were under a False Acacia tree that was covered in bugs that spat all over the van! I guess secreted is a better word..
All we needed was a couple of milk churns and a scabby dog, a large propane bottle and some coils of copper wire and we would have been moved on in Britain!
However, jobs all done we then discovered that we were parked opposite a Hoopoe nest (a scarce visitor to the UK). The two parents kept coming back to feed the babies with grubs, and it was lovely to sit and watch them going about their business along with a glass of wine.
On site there was a bar/restaurant run by the owners so we treated ourselves to a pizza, a jar of aoilii (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiolii) and chips! How fantastic was that?! We loved it then drank some more wine and beer.
We were so quiet the owners forgot we were there, so we had to go and interrupt them to ask for the bill.
The next day we walked into the village to buy a few provisions.....but as we keep forgetting the French close between 12 and 2pm, the other shops we needed were closed this day also!
We walked through the side streets of this lovely little hamlet and came across this lovely church. Attached to it was a post office where we purchased some stamps for our post cards (sorry if you have not received one yet!). Walking around the side streets we noticed a lot of houses had the Catalan flag flying.
