After leaving Camping Barcelona on the 26th, we took a fairly short trip up the road to stay at El Delfin Verde, which is an absolutely huge campsite, for 5 nights. It's right on the beach and is a great place to do not very much for a while, which is what we've been doing for the last 5 days. El Delfin Verde has two bars, two take away food outlets, two gelati outlets, a creperie, a hairdresser, a performance stage, a mini-golf course, a huge pool in the shape of dolphin, a games room, a clothes shop, a newsagent/sports shop, a fishing lake, table tennis tables, basketball, tennis, badminton and volleyball courts, a bakery and a full sized supermarket. Plus at the beach there's another bar, another gelati outlet and 2 beach volleyball nets. Apparently some people stay for an entire season which is five months.
We haven't done a lot here, as planned. A lot of lazing around. Catherine thrashed me at mini-golf, thanks to me getting a 41 on hole 12, doubling exactly my total up to that point. I thrashed her later at pool. Last night some of staff put on a mini production of 'Grease'. This was just really about 5 of them dressing up a bit and doing some choreography to a backing track of the show. It's for the kids mostly, although didn't start until 10pm. We also had paella at the restaurant along with a bottle of house white. The paella was not quite what we expected as it was black. Cuttlefish ink. It was ok, though. The white wine was the most vile we've ever had and not particularly cheap at that. It tasted like vinager that had old bootlaces soaking in it. Will stick to good quality el cheapo vino from the supermarket from now on.
It's been a good rest and tomorrow we're off back into France.
