Wednesday 16th April 2025.
Today started out quite badly, we had only been driving a few minutes on one of the poor condition local roads when a van driving towards us moved close to the middle white line to avoid potholes and wiped out our wing mirror. Sadly it was an English van ! I’ve effected a temporary repair with lots of tape and we will try and purchase a new Peugeot mirror on our travels.
We stopped on route at Mertola wandered up to the castle and then walked around the small town which didn’t take long.



We scoured the town looking for a mirror of any sort that I could temporarily attach to Homer for now, eventually Michelle found, what is quite common in Spain and possibly Portugal a “Chinese” shop that are always like an Aladdin’s cave, yes I know that wasn’t Chinese, but she did manage to find a mirror which I’ve used.
We didn’t feel much like doing more sight seeing so we drove on to tonight’s stopover which is in the middle of nowhere.
