  • Tomar

    13 September 2019, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Stumbled upon this town after reading about a very good free Motorhome stop and Whoop Whoop what a place to be for anybody interested in history.
    Lots of narrow streets to explore plus a castle and church up the hill.
    Knights Templar no less!

  • Tomar2 The Knights Templar

    14 September 2019, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    A visit to the Former Seat of the Order of the Knights Templar and the Convent of Christ is an absolute must for anyone visiting Tomar so pull on those walking shoes and make the long trek uphill or do the sensible thing and get in a Tuk Tuk for €2.50 a person and then when your visit is over drink beer 🍻 at the Café until another Tuk Tuk happens along.Baca lagi

  • Evora

    18 September 2019, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Just a one night stop in Evora as we start to head north and home but well worth the drive. A UNESCO world heritage site but then again most of Portugal seems to be. In the centre at the top of the hill stands the remains of the Roman Temple of Evora also known as the Temple of Diana which is close to the huge Cathedral. Take the bike 🚴🏻‍♀️ and get yourself in a tiff 🤔 amongst the cobblestone streets and the one way system.Baca lagi

  • Castelo Mendo

    19 September 2019, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    Well what can I say? Looking for another one night free stop on the way north and found Castelo Mendo on the Campercontact app.
    Step through the arch into a time long gone where two storey houses used to have the cattle living below their human companions but a quick internet search reveals much more! The narrow streets not built for modern traffic but easy to defend from Spanish troops intent on war. Some of the old walls still exist and the remains of these and the building at the top (I think it was a Chapel) are worth investigating.careful when night falls as the old village must be teaming with ghosts.Baca lagi

  • Camping Don Quijote

    20 September 2019, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Still heading back but stopped for the night at a campsite in Spain near Salamanca.
    Nice place by a river with a bicycle 🚴🏻‍♀️ 🚴🏻‍♂️ track leading into town. Lots of British Motorhomes and Caravans here heading to and from the UK 🇬🇧 Nice bar on site selling a good selection of alcohol 🍺Baca lagi

  • Santillana de Mar

    21 September 2019, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Another find through Campercontact. And yet another historic village to explore. Very popular with tourists but well worth taking the time to explore. Lots to see here including museums and no lack of Cafes and restaurants. Wishing we had a bit more time here but we have a Ferry ⛴ to catchBaca lagi
