February 20 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 16 °CGreat place to spend the night, mainly because of the duty free shops. Spent €190 on wine and spirits, sat and worked out how much it would have cost back in the UK and think it would have been over £600. 100litres of red and 6litres of rum, whisky and vodka.

February 18 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 6 °CSpent a very cold but peaceful evening in Alarcia. Chose this aire for its close location to a bar that had free wifi and did good food. Shame that it closes on Tuesdays!

February 15 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 17 °CStill heading north, drove through one of Portugal's national parks. Some very steep and twisty roads with stunning views down into the valleys. Dificult to take it all in when driving as a lot of the bends have no barriers and it's a longgggg way down. Stayed the night on an aire located behind theRead more
February 14 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 16 °CContinuing our travels north, towards home, we spent the night in the grounds of a church. Only people there so it was extremely quite and very relaxing. While taking Tess out at around 10pm there was absolutely no light pollution at all, no moon either just a sky full of stars. Incredible.
