    Area de Autocaravanas. Realised on arrival it was the same place where we had paused for lunch last year. No services in operation and the campsite next door was closed.

    Stopped off for a look at Eiffel's Viaduct du Garabit and then carried on for a break at the Millau viaduct. Unfortunately food facilities very poor due to building work. Bridge as impressive as last year.Baca lagi

  • Tossa de Mar

    9 April 2024, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Stopped for a look at Tossa de Mar. Nice old town but turned rather wet so cut visit short and back to Geri where we had a tremendous thunder clap.

  • Area de Autocaravanes Moncofa

    11–12 Apr 2024, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Parked up in a useful area and discovered our water had all drained away. The hose had been snapped off the tank when we encountered a stray cone on the motorway. A fellow brit from a few mohos down came along to offer assistance with his enormous box if tools but Rachel found a repair place online not far away and we de used to call in there first thing the next day and see what they could do. Otherwise a quiet night in a reasonable spot.

    Went to Estilo Camper and they were great. 2 chapa stopped what they were doing and within half an hour the hole was plugged - 40 euros.

  • Camping Javea

    14–15 Apr 2024, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Drive over the top and to the campsite at Javea. Very hot Had a short walk uphill to see what might be the old town but decided it was just too much and went back to relax under the awning.

  • Altea

    15 April 2024, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    Tried to sto at Calpe but parking wasnt suitable so carried on to Altea. Walked up the steep streets to the top of the old town. Two sea planes were very active scooping up water to take to damp down a fire in the hills nearby which had been burning for some time Nice old town and looked down on Benidorm in the distance.Baca lagi

  • Beach Camp

    15–16 Apr 2024, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Carried on along the coast bypassing Benidorm and Alicante and found a beach site which we had seen online. Plenty there and, although extremely potholed and bumpy which would not be good in wet weather, we found a suitable spot for the night.Baca lagi

  • Los Alcazares

    16–17 Apr 2024, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Passing through Torrevieja we stopped by the pink lake, although being a little less sunny it wasn't bright pink.

    Carries on to the Mar Menor and booked into a new solar powered aire in Los Alcazares. Very windy. Walked down to the sea and came back through an area that had apparently been started as a development but fell through. All rather depressing. What a shame. The aire is right next to the old Murcia airport which is now used by the air force for Training and we were treated evening and the following morning to planes practising coming in to landBaca lagi
