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

The Long Return

Our ferry home was at 14:00 on Sunday 12th September from Santander. Latest check-in is 45 minutes earlier but Mr. Cautious always likes to be two hours early, which gets us to 12:00. Santander is about a 2-hr drive from

Haro Revisited

We ended our 2024 Spanish trip at Haro. It has a bona fide campsite that was recommended to us by a friend. The campsite is within easy walking distance of the small town where there is also a Mercadona supermarket,

Burgos

We stayed at the campsite in Burgos at the beginning of our 2024 trip to Spain, which was our first attempt at camping in Spain. Being newbies and with stories of campsites getting rammed over winter, we booked our stay

Astorga

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

Perelhal

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

Caminha

We found Caminha perhaps less than exciting, though the square was a pleasant enough place to sit and watch some of the world go by. One bar in particular appealed enough to merit two visits. We are still on the

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
