Frodo is getting adventurous, he’s going off grid. Some areas of northern Spain are not well supplied with bona fide campsites but there are aires where motorhomes are authorized to stay. We had originally thought of going all the way…

We’ve moved on from a decent campsite, rather like a CL, with no proper town to speak of to a  touristy town with no proper campsite – the Chaves Guest House. It is like an aire but with facilities. The…

Francine had found what sounded like an idiosyncratic campsite for just ten units at Perelhal. There was no reception, as such; we were to ring a number on arrival and the owner would turn up to let us in through…

On our way to Santiago de Compostela, our group planned to make an interim stop at Mondoñedo. Everything was going very smoothly, including finding a fuel stop, until we arrived somewhere near a motorhome parking area on the outskirts of…
