A September and paret of October trip through France to get to Spain. A departure for us, it being an escorted motorhome tour.

Welcome to Portugal, what’s the time?

Following Andy’s escorted tour, we have ended up at Baiona, just above Portugal’s northern border. We have a further two weeks footloose and fancy-free. One idea that Francine had was to head a bit further north into Galicia to a

Baiona #2

Since we were enjoying Baiona and the campsite, we wanted to stay on a little longer. It really was “a little” because sadly the site’s last day was Saturday as it was closing for the season. Nonetheless, we extended our

Baiona #1

Andy’s last stop of his escorted tour was Baiona, just above the northern border of Portugal, and it turned out to be the best of the lot, in our opinion. Saving the best for last, eh? Camping Bayona Playa is

Combarro

We were en route to the last stop of Andy’s escorted tour and on the way we called in to Combarro, a picturesque coastal village with it’s tourist trap shops scattered along a couple of streets clinging to a hillside

Santiago de Compostela

After Frodo’s scary adventure working his way through impossible cobbled streets in Mondoñedo, we eventually arrived at our campsite at Santiago de Compostela. This was a terraced campsite with each avenue of pitches being terraced above those below. The pitches

Foz

I’ll keep this one fairly brief. Our campsite, FozCamp, was very pleasant with a slope that required judicious use of levelling ramps. It was essentially on the coast though there was a road in between the site and the sea.

Praia das Catedrais

Or Cathedral Beach, as we call it in English. This is a tourist honeypot beach with some admittedly impressive rock formations. As you approach, you instantly know that it’s a honeypot because there is extensive parking rammed with cars and

Tapia de Casariego

For some reason the name of this place was proving difficult to hang on to. Francine had an aide memoire word: Tapioca. In my case, Tilapia sprang to mind. Whatever it was called it was a long hop for this

Ribadesella

Luxury, a 3-night stop. Our campsite was a couple of kilometres out of town. We managed to get a decent enclave in the campsite for our little collection of motorhomes. On our first full day we walked down hill for
