Thanks for taking the time to post the details & photos of your trip. We have a similar approach to travelling & places you've been.

I've book marked your thread for inspiration, sadly that will be a while as we've only been home a few weeks ourselves!

I am not very good at writing up a travel trip

You've done a pretty good job here, I must say. I will save this thread for reference as I hope to do a similar trip in November.

I am not very good at writing up a travel trip as we go so I am hoping that just writing a list of the route and stops will help.

Certainly has helped. Short and sweet. I have saved this for inspiration for our planned trip in September.

Haro does have a free aire I'd you wanted to save a few euros It's very good. Thank you for your list of places to stay very handy for future trips .

Seville Area Autocaravannas Gelves Marina
Quite a few people had recommended this stop and we were lucky to get one of the last 2 spaces. Arrive early is my recommendation as lots of vans move on every day. 30 euros per night but worth it for location. Services including toilets and showers and EHU.

In April it's normally €20 but Feria week it went up to Peak season price. We only stayed two nights. Couldn't get the bus back because of so many road closures for the parades. Went a few stops on the metro and caught the bus halfway back.

Good info, but not having quite as large a van as you , we tend to need a place with good showers every couple of days and knew the next 2 stops had none.

I need a holiday after that whirlwind tour around Spain in 15 mins for me…

Thanks for your posts.

We are staying at Camping Haro on Wednesday and didn't know that we could purchase some wine in boxes from the campsite, so thanks for the info.

Thanks for the tour brought back lovely memories as we had been to a couple of your stops. Unfortunately due to a poorly elderly dog all travels are out the window for the foreseeable but love following travel threads, enjoy and thanks again.

13.Cordoba - my favourite in this area. A bit more manageable than Seville and more to it than Ronda. The parking area recommended by someone in Gelves, was manned by a Looky Looky man who got 5 euros out of me (I started with 3) but later I watched how the Spanish do it, a few coins literally back handed but you need to be able to talk the language. Anyway, we were happy with the spot. No facilities.
A very good, short, walk into town on wide pavements (not always a given) between the Zoo and the Botanical Gardens. We took turns to go into the Mesquita (Mosque/Cathedral ) which was well worth a visit. Later that night, the centre was close enough for another walk in at dusk to stroll across the river on the Roman bridge, in the warm air, like a local.

Try both the reception shop and the adjacent bar. They didn’t seem to stock very much.

20. Haro, Camping Haro, ACSI 25 € all facilities. A bit pricey for a quick night but it was where we wanted to be.
We have stayed here twice before and always stock up on bag in box Rioja from the campsite bar, 11 € 5 litres. The campsite reception also has a selections of good bottles ranging from 5 to 11 euros a bottle. You can, of course, go to the Bodegas area Estacíon de Tren, and do wine tasting and buying. A nice little town on the river, easy to walk to from campsite.

Burgos, just a quick in and out for the vet visit. A Saturday so only open in the morning and booked in advance for 11:30 am so we had an early (for us) start from Haro. We had intended to stop over at the Area Autocaravanas mentioned nearby, when I booked it. However, I later read that closed on market day, Saturday and actually I couldn’t find it on Google street view. So we stayed in Haro. Vet in Haro didn’t have great reviews so I didn’t try and change appointment and we were tight on the window as all vets closed Saturday pm and Sunday and the sailing was on the Monday.
