Thursday 20th September

Went for a morning short walk around this beautiful lake/ reservoir, using the national cycle route which runs right by the camp , scrub, semi desert terrain, many Westerns filmed here ( most recently the Freres brothers, due out Nov in UK) Enjoying this comfortable , clean campsite at Lake Caspe, with its long outdoor swimming pool and swimming in the cool lake as temperatures hit 32 degrees . Friendly neighbours on site. Campsite fully booked at the weekend as there is an annual motorcycle grand Prix event in nearby Alcaniz (40 k away). Lots of motorboats and fishing on this lake at weekends. The reservoir is filled with enormous Catfish (100 kilos), but very quiet mid week and no maintenance men with chain saws, so appreciated a well-deserved rest. The sun brings out so many flies in the day, one is constantly batting them away, however, come 7 pm,they all mysteriously disappear... Treated ourselves to an evening menu d'el dia meal in the campsite restaurant, delightful, pretty, shady, few flies, £12.OO each for 3 course meal, drinks and coffee, tasty and good value, vegetarian options made possible. Early rising tomorrow as we make a big push to Madrid across the middle of Spain.

Camp site bar with trees. Highly recommend Lake Caspe Camping, Aragon
