A Question of Degrees

Yesterday morning was the first morning we woke to no condensation on the windows and today was the same, except this morning it was ice, yes on the inside! We were only expecting -1 but we actually woke to -6, still I suppose being over 3,000 feet in January it’s all that can be expected. Note to self, turn the heating up at night.

We had an easier drive than expected, 150 miles south (and slightly west) to Chinchilla (de Montearagón) which is inland southwest of Valencia. We arrived at the huge (and empty) car park and after lunch headed up into the town, where the first significant thing we came across was what appeared to be statues of a Ku Klux Klan and apprentice! Obviously it has nothing whatsoever to do with that as, since as early as the 15^th century the costume has been traditionally used in Spain during Holy Week to symbolise the act of penance. The Ku Klux Klan wasn’t formed until the end of the 1800s but that’s another story.

Not the sinister welcome it may first seem

Anyway, back to the chase. We continued up to the castle where we enjoyed the excellent panoramic view.

Just the one campervan :-)

Update:

A couple of photos from this evening. I'm glad our first viewing of Señor Psycho and Son wasn't at night!
