Today we casually packed up to make our way back to the Malaga Monte Parc site in Alhaurin de la Torre, close to Malaga airport. Last Easter they agreed to store the caravan for a couple of weeks while we flew home and we were hoping they would agree to help us again.

The route involved a back track down the A-45 Autovia before joining the A-46 Autopista, toll road, down into Malaga.
The caravan was possibly the dirtiest it had ever been after a week under the trees at Camping La Albolafia but we had noticed a nearby car wash with a convenient gantry that would make it easy to give a good pressure wash all over, so we headed straight there.
Last year, while we were in southern Spain, Kim had expressed the wish to visit Córdoba but somehow we skirted all around without ever visiting. Thinking we would fix this omission we headed up toward this famous city.
Our campsite is conveniently situated about a 30 minute walk away from the Puerta de Almocábar across the road from a small plaza, Ruedo Alameda where you can begin your visit to historic Ronda.
