France & Spain October 2025 - Alcossebre Part 3

October 15th.

It would seem that the rain and flooding that Storm Alice brought to the coast between Tarragona and Alicante/Murcia has finally gone away.

We were up early today as we were expecting the cleaners to come in. They have been crashing around in various blocks all week! In the end they arrived around 9am.

We then packed up our stuff and headed off back to Peñiscola to park up alongside the beach again, and this time rather than hide from the wind and rain, but to get out and take a walk along the promenade and maybe have a coffee or even lunch.

We were also running low on cash.  We started the trip on October 1st with €120 in notes and some change.  We were down to €15 in notes and maybe another €5 in coins. So the first stop was a bank. To draw €70 incurred a €7 fee.  So we aborted and went to a branch of Santander.  The same! This wasn't to do with our bank, this was the ATM bank.  We are used to free ATM's in banks in the UK. We sucked this one up.

We had a coffee in a side street, and then went to the promenade to walk along. Reggie was feeling his age a bit and it was quite hot.  At one point it was 27C. So we decided to cut the visit short, and forgo the walk into the old town, and head for "home".

So instead of some deep fried seafood we had sandwiches made from  bread from the day before. Still okay.

We spent the afternoon either reading and relaxing or taking Reggie for his frequent walks. I downloaded some software to see if I could edit the videos that the new dashcam produces. I could barely understand how it worked.  Finally when I had got a short video made it failed to save it!

So tomorrow? Don't know.
