Who said Spain was rammed and there was nowhere to stay? (2 Viewers)

[Fragle]

The clue is in the title

It's been the same since the first week in January with regards to space.

Santa Pola, this one.

Exactly where we are tonight. Plenty of free space

A lovely evening was had in Teruel last night great aire and free of charge.

Villasol camping in Benidorm is full (we did drive to reception and check) so we are on a lovely big pitch on camping la torreta which is opposite. Perfect for the next week.

Me and Shirley Blossom spent 62 nights there, left a couple of weeks ago to head home ☹
Not as regimented as some of the sites and very relaxed staff. Very convenient to walk to most places.
No.10 bus to Altea or Benidorm Old Town is handy and only 70c (after buying a card for €2 and loading it with €10. )
You can use one card for both of you.

My pitch was big, no.236.

Just arrived at Santa Isobel NR luga. Free aire with free electrics. Half full when we arrived now with us having arrived it's heaving 3/4 full now. It will soon be rammed. But it is hailstoning.

Raining heavily in Seville and have got caught out without the appropriate gear.

Sitting in Starbucks which I was very grateful for. Waiting for my timed ticket to Alcázar. Booked yesterday so had to settle for 5:30.
Cannot see outside from my perch so fingers crossed it has gone off a bit. I did spend time in van looking for my umbrella just in case but couldn’t find it.

Now in our 7th week on Spain, plus 2 nights on Aires in France haven't booked any campsites since we have been here, used Aires as well, 16 different places so far.

To be honest this is our first paid stop, sometimes I just want to do camping behaviour.

I know what you mean. We like a good mix. Currently at the Marina at Gelves outside Seville, as recommended by various helpful Funsters. Opportunity for getting out of the hot sun yesterday was limited to the area behind the open rear doors.

That looks quite empty, last time we were there we got one of the last spaces on the pavement in the road in your last photo. The cark next to the Aire was rammed.

The Day time Photos were taken late morning when quite a few had lift, by evening they were parking all the way around the stadium. The night time Photos shown are of just the front, and that shows it full, you may not be able to see the trees, but they there in between the parked vans.

The aire at Marina Puorto Gelves, Seville packed today. We were lucky to get in as reasonably early. Previously found no room in the inn at Caceres. That has been the only place so far unable to stop. Aire at the bullring in Trujillo packed but space for everyone.

We really liked Puorto Gelves, So easy to get around Seville from there, hope your having a great time Ann.

We're at the paid motorhome parking at Puerto Lápice. Chosen rather than the free parking at the same town. This area is so much nicer to be in.

For €6.05 a night to park, it doesn't break the bank.

In the middle of no where?

In the middle of Don Quijote country.

If you want Brit brekkies and karaoke, then maybe it's in the middle of nowhere

Plenty of spaces at the aire at Alcalá de Real €15 a night inc electric. The fortress / walled town is well worth a visit.

Is this the €30 a night one on park for night. I can only see 1 motorhome place.

Is it busy we might head that way next week and was told that you need secure parking around Seville

Yes it is. However worth it for the secure parking and there are showers, toilets and EHU.
Was full by late afternoon, we arrived around 2pm and 2 spaces left. Was a nice spot by the river and we made a shady nook by opening the barn doors. I enjoyed Séville and went back on my own to visit the Alcázar. You need to book tickets before. I booked online day before and could only get 5:30 pm.
We used Uber to go into Seville with the dog, 16 euros each way.

Bus 140 1.65 euro and ok during weekdays but I saw none on Sunday. The bus goes around and around so you get off at De Las Delicias and get back on at the same stop.
This one

Thanks, we are. We have the dog with us so used pet friendly Uber (a first for us) to get into Seville. A shiny new Lexus turned up at the Marina gate and charged us all of less than 16 euro right into the centre. We are not really taxi type people and usually spend hours studying bus timetables and worrying about where to get off . I did go back into the centre for my timed ticket to the Alcaraz and felt I had to use the bus as just on my own.

We are moving up France, at Saumur, on a campsite on the island called Ile D' Offard, the island is in the middle of the La Loire river we are about 30 foot from river, mind you just outside campsite is a Aire with barriers use Relias to get in, we paid 17 euros per night it's ok ,but if you use Relias I wouldn't pay more to come on this campsite.
Saumur is nice town with lovely views of a beautiful chateau on a hill the river in town looks very impressive , lots of nice buildings and loads of cafes,/ Restaurants.15to 20 minutes walk to town, nice walk
