Campervan Adventures in Spain & Portugal: Mirador El Cochino & El Torcal de Antequera

Day 4 we got up and drove to some viewpoints over Malaga - we were going to start at Mirador El Cochino and walk to Mirador Francisco Vazquez Sell, but the roads to get to the first one were not good so we tried to the second and were able to park there. Then we walked over to Mirador El Cochino and back.

It was a pretty nice walk, flat, shaded, with some nice views the entire way

Then we headed off to El Torcal de Antequera which was so much fun!

So many cool rocks to walk through!

We even saw some mountain goats! They are hard to spot, but there is one just to the right of the middle rock pile in the photo above

There is one in the middle on the top of these rocks too!

And one on the highest rock here! So many mountain goats!

We had so much fun wandering! There was a breeze most of the time so it wasn't too bad in the sun, even though it was 28 with little shade

There were also really nice views of the surroundings since it was on the top of the mountain.

Then it was off to camp (Camping Parque Ardales), which was the only one that I had booked in advance since it was the only one close to the hike we would do on day 5, and I was glad I did as it was completely full when we got there! Probably because the hike is very popular (we had to get tickets and there were only early morning ones available when I bought them!) and there is nowhere else to camp close by. It was a nice, wooded area so perfect for relaxing in the shade.

12.32km walked, 39flights

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Ferry home - Tórshavn

The boat home was just as smooth and uneventful as the ride to Iceland. We left Iceland at 8pm Wed, Thurs at 3pm we arrive in Tórshavn and had a few hours to wander around, then back to the boat for the night, Friday was at sea, and Saturday we arrived in Hirtshals at 11am.

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Final Thoughts

That is it for our Iceland adventures! I wanted to post one last wrap up just to say a few things I didn't put elsewhere, or organize my overall thoughts in one place.

The end

So it started raining on us for days and we cut out to come back to Seattle for a few days and wait for it to clear up.....and then Raymond decided he really did not want to go back out. So I at first was pretty upset cause I really wanted to get to Canada, or at least as far as we could while the weather was still nice this weekend. And I was feeling really like we were giving up for no reason. Like if one of us were injured or if I was hating it or something then I would have been better about it. But instead it was like the forecast called for gorgeous weather this weekend and we were just going to sit at home. I figured we could have at least gotten to the next stop and then only had one more chunk to do next year, but Raymond really didn't want to go back out so we decided not to. But hopefully by this time next year we will get the last 2 sections done, and maybe go back and do the section from white pass to snoqualmie as we went RIGHT by Mt Rainier and it is supposed to be g
