Day 4, finally happy

Today was great,I left Malaga a little bit late, but I slept right next to the way I had to take,so exiting the city was fast,I again took the N-340(btw AMAZING road) it follows the coast all the way and allows me to go on it by bike^^Okay, the road was very full of hills,but I slept well, and the views made me want to stop every 2 minutes to take a picture(which I mostly did) I also decreased distance, I only did around 110km today,when yesterday I did 170+, but I decided I am not doing this as a race, but as an adventure, I want to enjoy this,and not cycle in full sun till like 16:00.Coast was as full of tourists as it could be, but I also met a lot of other cyclists and few runners on the way,who cheered smiled or simply said hello,and you know,those little things made my day, and about a halfway, a guy equipped just like me(front&back bags,sleeping bag)went by on the opposite way, we both smiled and cheered for eachother and went forward.I had to stop at the gas station to buy water(btw supermarket prize for 2l=19-35cents,gas station 1,30-1,50€...JEEEEZ) there were at least 5 tunnels today, one was 1000m long and bikes allowed!!!Not so tired, but very happy and a little to warm,I arrived at Motril, yet another not small nor big tourist town, but this time with a little bit more Spanish people in it....went to Alcampo(Auchan) bought water, a can of cola zero a lettuce,avocado and few tomatoes(best salad ever), and I started looking for a place to charge my phone...NOTHING, not a single thing,so I googled nearest carrefour(they offer charging spots as a service for clients) and called my parents to check up how they're doing,gosh I miss them so much it makes me cry just to think about it,how far away they are, and how I won't be able to hug them for next I don't even know how much time....and I am 18 years old,what the hell? Am I supposed to feel like this?Anyway,the call broke half way through,coz my phone run out of battery and switched off..DAMN IT, no GPS, no battery, what do I do now? So I desperately go back inside the Auchan and ask everyone if they know where I could charge my phone..nope,no one helped...so disappointed and sad I went to use the bathroom and while drying my hands...HELL YES !! I see two spots, so I instantly plugged my phone, switched it on and send a message to my paps that I'm okay(he went mad over the broken call,gosh I miss them so much)Funny part is that the charger was in the middle of the hall towards the toilets,so both me and the woman walking by felt VERY awkward...but so what? I need my phone for GPS,otherwise I'm dead,so I charged it to like 30%, and its getting late,so I started googling and looking for a (free!!!)place to sleep with a tent or caravan parking,anything....but I found nothing,desperately went around my location with Google maps on satellite version, and looked for some abandoned building,field of high grass,trees or a far away beach.YES!! I found a beach at the end of Motril, where pets are allowed and the only way in is a sand road...So I am stting here right now,with my bike laying beside me,sun shining in my face, already went to wet my feet in Mediterranean(water is so cold!!!) And I am hoping the few people that are here(round 15 maybe) will go away so that I can set up my stuff and  get some sleep(more than the 7hours I get lately)...there were no signs that camping is forbidden, but I see no caravans, or tents...let's hope the police doesn't wake me up in the middle of the night and tell me to f*** off somewhere else.... *stressed*
I'll update if anything happens
