    Other hitchhikers and moving to the camp

    8. desember 2019, Gibraltar ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    On the second day i wanted to look for another accommodation. So i went to the campsite outside of the city and asked there for a place to stay. The problem was that i only had a hammock with a tarp and no tent. The campsite only accept people with a tent and didn't let me stay. I decided to go back to the hostel and continue my search at the marina. At the marina in La Línea i met the first other boat hitchhiker. His name is Przemek and he is from Poland. He told me that there are about 10 other hitchhikers looking for a boat to the canaries and they have a small camp outside of the city. In the afternoon i met the others from the camp and decided to join them on the next day. The days at the marine i spent with talking to the people at the peers and looking for new boats arriving. The people at the marina are really open and friendly and i had some great conversations.
    In the camp with the other hitchhikers were also a very nice atmosphere and all of them were really sympathic. We dumpster dived our food, cooked together and had a nice time. With the time we were about 13 or more hitchhikers at the marina and most of them stayed in the camp. What i really appreciated, that there weren't any fights between hitchhikers and everybody was happy for the others. Although, there haven't been much boats going to the canaries.
    The time in La Línea passed by so fast. I stayed there for nearly one week and nevertheless, it felt like only few days.

    Starting in La Línea

    6. desember 2019, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    After another night in the hammock near to a rest stop and another day of hitchhiking i arrived in the afternoon in Gibraltar. At first i just walked a little bit confused to Gibraltar and looked for the marina. In one marina of Gibraltar i met Thomas. He works there at the reception and gave me some tips about Gibraltar. He also told me that it is maybe better to try the marina in La Línea. So i returned to La Línea and went to the marina there. At the marina bar i talked to a captain, who will go to the canaries, but his crew was already complete. We drank a beer together and talked about sailing and traveling. In the evening i got a hostel in La Línea.Les mer

    San Pedro

    4. desember 2019, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    When i arrived in San Pedro i only saw few people in the village. Because it was getting dark i hurried a bit and looked for a place to sleep and cooked something fast. The first night i slept without a tarp over me, only the leafs of the bushes protected me from the light rain. The other morning i build my tarp, cos i heard it will rain much more. Totally true! In the late afternoon it started to rain and it was getting more and more. It rained and stormed the whole night and nearly the complete next day without big breaks. In one of those breaks i tightened my robes again and got back in my sleeping bag. I spent the whole day with laying down under my tarp and thinking about god and the world.
    On my third and last day in Sun Pedro the weather was great and i could dry my stuff, that got a little bit wet. With the sun came also the people out of their huts and tents and i wondered how many people are living there. I spent the rest of the day with relaxing on the beach and did a small hiking trip.
    In the evening i was just eating my dinner at the beach as a helicopter headed directly in our direction and stopped a hundred meters from me. They took one guy from the village to the next hospital, because he had a stroke. With this my time in San Pedro ended and i left on the next day with the first sunbeams.

    Here are few things and thoughts about San Pedro.
    In San Pedro are living about 50 people in their huts around the year + the people in the tents. I was completely out of season and there were about 20 people in tents. The toilet situation was during my time okay and every human used them. Nevertheless, you had to pay a bit attention were you walk, because of the dog shit and sometimes it smell pretty bad. However, in the main season it could be a real problem.
    The people there are very kind and everyone was nice to me, but the people from the village stayed a bit away from strangers. I think it's caused by the tourists in the summer, who only visit San Pedro for one day and don't come cause of the way of life in San Pedro. For the next time i hope i will have more time to get closer to the people there.

    Elche - San Pedro

    1. desember 2019, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    The next morning in Elche i got up very early and said goodbye to Affif. At 6:00 i should met my lift to Nijar, what is nearby to Las Negras. Nevertheless, no one showed up to bring me to Nijar. At first I was really upset about it, but then i though: take it easy, it's very early and there's plenty of time to find another way there. So i went to a café and made a new plan with a positive mood. On Blablacar i found a new lift from Murcia to Nijar. I took a bus to Murcia and bought there some food for the next days, because it was Sunday and neather in Las Negras nor in Campohermoso were a shop opened. Cos i had some time left, i spent about 2 hours in a park and enjoyed the nice weather. Later i got with my lift Hassan from Marokko to Campohermoso and later to Las Negras. The last kilometers to San Pedro are not accessible by car. I arrived in San Pedro with the last sunrays and built my sleeping place.Les mer

    Elche

    30. november 2019, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    In the morning i left Spores Homes at 9am to continue hitchhiking to Málaga. At the drive-up in direction of the highway i recognized again how difficult hitchhiking in Spain really is. After two or three of waiting and one changing of the spot i got a lift to a gas station near the highway to Alicante. I had to wait another hour or more to get a lift to the airport of Alicante. Airports are good spots for hitchhikers in Spain because there are many foreigners, who are more used to hitchhikers than the spanish people. However, there was nobody going in my direction so i had the idea to stay for the night in Alicante and take a lift to las negras in the morning, that i found on blablacar. So i looked for a lift in the city and met Affif. Affif is from Argelia and lives with his family since four years in Elche. He offered me to stay the night in his apartment in Elche after he took care about a few things. So i spent the rest of the day with Affif, who bought some stuff for his shower. Later i helped him to get the stuff to his apartment. Affif is phoning all the time with everybody. He has got two phones and uses both of them nearly in the same time.Les mer

    Spores Homes in Cullera

    29. november 2019, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    After 3 days of relaxing in Spores it's time to get back on the streets. My time here i spent mostly with relaxing on the terrace or at the beach. I did yoga or some sports in the morning on terrace. Then i washed my clothes for the first time on my trip. At Spores everybody does what he likes to do. During my time here there have been only a few people in the house and i had much time for myself.
    The center and the beach of Cullera is pretty touristic. But in this time of the year nobody except the citizens and a few caravans spending their time here and Spores Homes is not so close to the touristic parts.

    Valencia and Spores homes

    26. november 2019, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Today was the first night with a roof on top of me since i left Karlsruhe 6 days ago. After the breakfast Milan showed me some parts of the city. The look of Valencia is a way different to Barcelona. It's cleaner and not as busy as Barcelona. I appreciated the atmosphere in the streets of Valencia very much. Especially the park, that is build on a drought river bed. The day in Valencia was my first really warm day on my travel. It had about 25°C and the sun was shining the whole day. On the afternoon we took the train to Cullera and went to spores homes. Spores Homes is a house where traveller are able to live for some time. This day there were about 10 people including us staying at spores.Les mer

    My Way to Valencia

    25. november 2019, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    After two days of Barcelona we packed our things together and started to drive in direction of south. The boys brought me to a roundabout, where i started to hitchhiike. It took a bit till i got my first lift to Tarragona. He took me to a drive-up of the highway. There i spent nearly 2h of waiting till i decided to go to the city and try another route. In Tarragona i had the same problem as in Straßburg. Then a women brought me to a gas station nearby the highway in hope i can find a lift there. Nevertheless, nobody at this gas station drove in my direction. After two or three hours i gave up and hitchhiiked to the next train station. From there i took the train to Valencia. In Valencia i met my cousin Milan, who does a semester abroad.Les mer

    Barcelona

    23. november 2019, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    From Figueres to Barcelona it went very good. I got my first lift a second after i wrote my sign. The second lift at this day brought me directly to the campsite, where i met Nick, Juri and Jascha. At the afternoon we took a first look to the city with their longboards. I really enjoyed to stay at one place for more than one night and just chillout a little bit.Les mer

    Second day on the road

    22. november 2019, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

    This day started pretty good. After a little breakfast i found a lift after a few minutes of waiting. Until near the border it was very easy for me and i had a positive mood. This changed when i saw the last rest stop before the border. On this rest stop were only few people and nearly all of them went in the wrong direction. The only lift i got was to the border and from there to a small city on the spanish side. From there i got to Figueres where i was dropped of near the highway, but about 3 kilometers outside of the city and the place was bad to hitchhiike. So i decided to go to the city and buy some stuff. After that i went a little bit out of the city again and built my sleeping place.Les mer
