After our fantastic Norway Cruise and a few more days with son Kerry and family we headed back to the South of France. We took the western route this time as we wanted to visit a Funster friend Frankie (MotorhomeFUN.co.uk) and take her out to dinner as a thank-you for helping us sell our beloved … More Winter Sun Calls 2017 – 2018
Sorry this post is a bit late. I am playing catch-up as I was late starting this trip’s Blog because I thought we would not be touring so much this year. But then I started getting emails; “Where is the Blog?” so I made a start, but then as I said in the last post … More The Barragems
Monday 22nd January 2018 It was only 41km from Barragem do Arade to Lagos but the one thing we needed most was GAS but we saw none! Technical Interlude: Because we travel to and through so many countries and need bottled gas for our cooking, heating and to run the fridge it can become a … More No Morning Cuppa in Lagos!
Wednesday 31st January 2018 After our quick getaway from the really nice Lagos Camper Stop, after the battery alarm went off, we arrived at Alvor one at 10am just a 20km drive. Not a lot different just a large clay area with Motorhomes everywhere. Steve walked around, cables were stretching all over the place from … More Alvor, A Walking Paradise
Friday 9th February 2018 As we Mentioned last time, we arrived at Manta Rota Camper Park and there was no room at the inn so we parked at the nearby parking area. There was one problem though, we needed to empty our Loo! So at about 4:30 we went into stealth mode and putting the … More We Missed the Mardi Gras!
We left Manta Rota after setting TomTom to Antequera as a stop for the night, which seemed a reasonable distance about 300km, as it would be on motorway quality roads, all the way. We stopped first at Villa Real de Santo Antonio, Lidl to stock up with groceries and the camper stop to empty down … More How Many Churches Does One Town Need?
Thursday 15th February 2018 We left the Camper Parking early, after emptying down and filling up with water. Thanks again Antequera for providing such a good facility for us. We are intending to spend a few days by a lake and on a deserted beach we know of so need to fill up with gas … More Not a JCB in Sight–How Did They Do It?
Friday 16th February 2018 We had a good night at the lower El Torcal car park and woke to a beautiful sunrise over the mountains. Ready to go Steve did his usual check around the Motorhome, he glanced up to the mountain behind us to see a boulder about ten meters in diameter sitting very … More Crazy Golf but no Ball at Vinuela!
Saturday 17th February 2018. Leaving the Vinuela lake/reservoir we pointed TomTom to a wild camping spot near Salobrenna about 70 km away, (N36.74047, W3.59545). We found it last year and thought it was a good spot from where we could walk along the beach into the town for a nice meal. Unfortunately it had become … More Northward Bound Vinuela to Javea (Xàbia)
Thursday 22nd February 2018 We left Puçol early and arrived at the Camper Stop on the Ebro Delta (N 40.6584, E 0.67539) by about 09h00. It was a very large flat gravel surface marked out in reasonable sized bays with easily enough space for about 50 Motorhomes. There was a service area which appeared to … More Water, Water & Birds Everywhere!
