We spent the first night in San Jose where they allow you to park your campervan on a car park near the center. There are always other campervans there so you feel safe wild camping and know that the police won't move you on during the night.<br />

This time of the year most of the restaurants are closed, but we found one that was open, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EL.OCTOPUS.SANJOSE/" target="_blank">El Octopus</a> where we had nice food and a lovely bottle of wine.<br />
<br />
We walked through the town and along the headland to Playa de los Genoveses which is a fabulous beach and the first one that you come to on the outskirts of the town.<br />

</div>
We were in Sierra Nevada for the weekend to watch the Vuelta a Andalusia stage 4 doing the ascent of Alto del Purche. We know of a beautiful place to stay in the motorhome right near the top of the hill, which also has picnic tables and is quite flat. Having stayed Friday night in Monochil we made our way to the parking spot quite early, just as well as there were some cars and other motorhomes there already. We parked up in a good spot then went for a walk, which started opposite the parking spot. Just before we started walking a group of people arrived and we thought that they were doing the same as us, there were about 20 people so got going quickly. The walk was beautiful and we did not see the other group until we were on our way back. We arrived at the parking place with plenty of time to eat some food and get ready for the race to arrive. It is a great place as it is at the top of a very steep climb out of Monochil up to Sierra Nevada so the riders are well strung out and going slow. The other walking group returned after the race had gone passed, so they must have done the long walk to a monastery and back.<br />

We went early so that we could get somewhere to park our motorhome for the night, When we got there, there was plenty of room. As we were early we did a little walk around the village, then met up with some friends and had a really nice day. In the evening we went for a meal with our friends to <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g1210275-d17835509-Reviews-Cha_Cha_s_Bistro-Iznajar_Province_of_Cordoba_Andalucia.html" target="_blank">Cha Cha's Bistro</a> in Iznajar and it was lovely.

We had to use public transport, which was not as good but we managed okay.<br />
We stayed at Apple Sea which is an beautiful apartment in Punta Moya, which is 17km from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. They had told us which bus to catch from the airport and we managed to find it without too much trouble. The apartment was right on the sea front and would be ideal if you were a surfer as it was a great surfing beach, we spent ages watching the surfers from the massive apartment window. Luckily there were about 5 restaurants within walking distance of the apartment and another within about 4km at Costa San Felipe called <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0xc40f332780d2ae5%3A0xd7a76aa336836501!3m1!7e115!4shttps%3A%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipP86nQZiXagMUxzhRHmulwkZ-aDjbc1ld85nAHY%3Dw120-h160-k-no!5spai%20pai%20cafe%20san%20felipe%20-%20Google%20Search!15sCAQ&imagekey=!1e10!2sAF1QipP86nQZiXagMUxzhRHmulwkZ-aDjbc1ld85nAHY&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiH_YGzg4HpAhUNmxQKHe2RAPAQoiowE3oECBoQBg#" target="_blank">Pai Pai Cafe</a>.<br />

We visited Las Palmas de Gran Canaria the capital city of Gran Canaria it was very much like a beach resort on the Costa del Sol, we went to the famous beach Playa de Las Canteras. Called in for a coffee at <a href="https://www.dvainilla.es/" target="_blank">D'Vainilla</a> which was very quaint. Did some sightseeing then went for lunch at a very nice Vegetarian restaurant called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Restauranteracimo16/" target="_blank">Racimo16</a> which served Venezuelan dishes which were very tasty.<br />

We visited the town of <a href="https://www.gran-canaria.traveltopper.eu/en/teror/" target="_blank">Teror</a> and walked down the main street admiring the beautiful architecture of the old buildings many having beautiful wooden balconies. We then made our way out of town for about 2 kilometers until we reached the Parque Rural de Doramas. We entered and walked to Finca de Osorio which is built in traditional Canarian style with the famous wooden balconies and in places a touch of English colonial style. The gardens are really nice too, we only had time to see a part of them as it started raining. As we were walking through the house we were stopped and made to go back out as some of the house is used for giving educational classes for what looked like conservation wardens. We managed to get back to the bus station without getting too wet. <br />

So that should be enough for us when we have to go out to shop, chemist & walk the dog. That leaves the proper ones for the front line medical staff.<br />

<h3>
Ten Simple Things You Can Do to Help Protect the Earth</h3>
<div class="zebralist">
<ul>
<li><strong>Reduce, reuse, and recycle</strong>. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three "R's" to conserve natural resources and landfill space.</li>
<li><strong>Volunteer</strong>. Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too.</li>
<li><strong>Educate</strong>. When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of our natural resources.</li>
<li><strong>Conserve water</strong>. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.</li>
<li><strong>Choose sustainable</strong>. Learn how to make smart seafood choices at <a href="http://www.fishwatch.gov/">www.fishwatch.gov</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Shop wisely</strong>. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.</li>
<li><strong>Use long-lasting light bulbs</strong>. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light switch off when you leave the room!</li>
<li><strong>Plant a tree</strong>. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change.</li>
<li><strong>Don't send chemicals into our waterways</strong>. Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.</li>
<li><strong>Bike more</strong>. Drive less.</li>
</ul>
