I mentioned in a previous post that the campground Carlos iii was a bit tight for us due to the mulberry trees. Well it got a lot tighter over the past couple of days as a group of Italian motor-homers arrived yesterday and have filled all the spots around ours. So when it came time to leave this morning there was no room near us for negotiating our way out. In the end I had to reverse between trees and camper vans around 3 corners with literally inches to spare on either side. We have definitely discovered that the correct dimensions for a motorhome in Europe is NOT 7.9meters L x 2.4 meters W x 4.0 meters H.

Once on the road we had another pleasant drive on great roads with very little traffic. The light traffic was particularly surprising as today is a public holiday in advance of Easter and we expected lots of people starting their Easter travels.

As you can see from the photos we saw a lot of Olive plantations today, so many infact that we could be forgiven for thinking that the entire country is covered with them.

We initially tried Camping Granada on the northern side of the city but on arrival we were told in no uncertain terms by the lady manager that we were "too big". So we had to resort to an alternate, Suspiro Del Moro, this one south of the city. While Suspiro also had trees and relatively tight camping spots we were there early enough to get a spot that is pretty easily accessible.

One of the bonuses of the Spiro Del Moro campground are the great views of the snow covered Sierra Nevadas just a little further south and/or west.
