Rumbling along to old haunts (Feature image is on the canal bank at Mennetou sur Cher) Our meandering through France took us to Vichy, a beautiful spa town on the banks of the Allier river. It is a town with a complicated history as it was the seat of government during WW2 when the officialRead more
France is possibly the most motorhome friendly country in Europe. There are so many officially provided Aires de Camping Cars to choose from that you could easily meander through the country, doing a few miles every couple of days and never get bored. Many of the Aires are free of charge or cost less thanRead more
We drove away from our old home and left it to its new owners at the end of September 2017. Today is Easter Sunday, April 1st 2018 and we have been on this current adventure for six months. We still have a month to go before we return to Scotland so I’ll save the writingRead more
It was Palm Sunday, the week before Easter when we were due to leave Jaca and drive through the Somport Tunnel. Before we left, we walked up into town to watch the start of the festival parade through the town. Spain loves a good festival and some of the parades are spectacular, often based onRead more
The motorhome parking at Casa de Fusta on the Ebro Delta is a great place for anyone who enjoys nature, bird watching, walking or cycling. It has rice fields along the banks of the Ebro river and you can cycle through the countryside and enjoy the amazingly flat landscape and the blissful quiet. I sayRead more
I love that Paulo Nutini song. “I’ve got food in my belly, a licence for my telly and nothing’s gonna get me down.” In a way, it is a theme song for motorhoming. You’re on the road, you’ve got food in the fridge (and/or in your belly), you’ve got plenty of simple things to occupyRead more
In pursuit of healthy living Last time I said we weren’t feeling quite as positive about Marjal Costa Blanca as we had the last time we were here. We’ve been here over a week now and we’ve cheered up enough to remember how much it has going for it. Almost every day we jump onRead more
We left Camping Las Lomas, up in the Sierra Nevada at Guerja Sierra, on Sunday 28th February. This is a lovely site and we can thoroughly recommend it. You get a large pitch, plenty of facilities, a good shop and a nice restaurant and bar. A bus to nearby Granada stops right outside the gate andRead more
Camping Rural Presa de Vinuela – what can we say? It was as though we had fallen asleep and woken up in paradise… but only partial paradise you understand. The views, the surroundings, the clean air, the quiet … we really thought we were in a little corner of heaven. The campsite – not soRead more
We loved our three nights up in the hills and, as always, we felt a little sad when we drove away and crossed the bridge over the river Guadiana into Spain. It’s not that we don’t love Spain – just that we’ve loved Portugal so much that it was hard to leave it. Travelling slowlyRead more
