Packed up Priscilla and left the beautiful village of Monsaraz and drove down the bottom to see the Ermida de Santa Catarina (built by The Knights Templars) then saw the Convento da Orada and the Cromlech of Xerez and the Menhir of Belhoa. We then drove to the next national monument which we believe is also situated on energy lines - they are found all over Europe and people come here to worship from all over the world (especially people in Motorhomes) yes you are right Lidl supermarket !!! We even bought cat food to feed the locals! David said have we got more money than sense! But I think he really enjoys doing it. Then we headed to a campsite in Rosario that had been recommended by Lin & Lyndsay the Australian couple we met months ago in Cordova. Stopped on the side of the road outside Terena for a coffee with a view of another castle. Arrived at camping Rosario and parked on a terraced pitch with a view of a lake which is part of the biggest lake in Europe (which supplies 200,000 homes and even supplies water to irrigate Spain's western agriculture). Very hot here. Sat around the main farmhouse table outside reception and caught up with the internet over a beer or two with the owners Endrika (Italian) and Ernst (Dutch). Had a quick swim to cool off then cooked chicken on the BBQ with pasta and homemade garlic bread washed down with a local bottle of very good red (1.95 euro). Will explore tomorrow (David's birthday 54!)
