gpat, are you responsible for the app you mentioned? I can send info and coordinates for the places we have stayed over these last 3 weeks. I do actually have a subscription but have not yet worked out how it all works, so need a bit more time ![Grinning face :grinning: 😀](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png)

Ok, well it wasn't quiet at all. It's the main through road for the town so traffic up to around 23:00 and started again at 06:00. Was a nice site but not practical for overnighting unfortunately.So we are in Tenerife for a few days and are parked up at the Santiago del Teide recreational area for the night. It's on the road side but is quiet at night I have been informed. Bbq area with tables and seating are available.

Lunch is the best meal. Dinner is usually something light for us.Looks lovely but from he shadows in one photo it was the middle of the day. I am not sure I could manage that meal in the heat.

Hi Geoff, yes there are checks and the 90/180 is enforced apparently. I'm a permanent resident, so does not affect me.Barrie,
May I firstly say that you and your posts/photos have slotted in well on this forum since you joined in May.
You seem to be enjoying your shake-down tour of the islands, without much hassle.
It seems that finding parking on the islands is fairly easy, even at this time of year.
We have visited La Palma(x2,) La Gomera and Gran Canaria and we have wondered about bringing the MH over, but it is a long way from Poland and technically, although Resident in Poland, I am still restricted to 90/180 in other EU countries. This is not a problem crossing European mainland internal borders with no checks, but are there checks on EU Residents (not Citizens) when entering Canaries ports? I presume you are Resident, not Citizen - are you checked?
Keep enjoying the MH, and your food.
Geoff
That's useful. Do you have the name and location of the petrol station pleaseWe found a petrol station that had all the services we all are always looking for and they had a machine for washing out the toilet cassette. You buy a coin for €3, put it in the machine, select your cassette model, the door opens and you slide in the cassette (after opening the sluice gate) and press start. It empties it, washes it, dries it and even dumps in some chemical liquid. Pretty cool I thought. I forgot to take a photo.....
Sounds like Puerto de la CruzYes, there are many and also the law changed in Spain recently and you are now allowed to park up and sleep in any parking space big enough. No camping activities, obviously, but you can sleep in your van. We are now in a Municipal Parking right on the sea front and there are many motorhomes. No services but free parking.

Totally correct Tam, we Having Permanent Resident status in Spain are restricted in Schengen too...however we are entitled to extended periods back in the UK if we so wished..The conditions are fully explained in the WA...They are residents of spain that's correct. So is @jumar and @jumartoo. That doesn't entitle them to more than 90 days in Portugal. Although like before b, rexit no one really cares or checks. But you were never supposed to be more than 90 days in another country.
But I can't see them doing that anyway ,they'll want to maximise youtube income by getting viewers for the travel and other viewers for the off grid land .
It's all about the wonga

That statement seems contrary to another Permanent Resident, here -

When I looked into whether changing my status in Poland from Resident to Permanent Resident I found that it did not give me more than 90/1800 days outside Poland within Schengen.
Let's get this resolved, to everyone's satisfaction.
I thought it already was resolved , 90 days is legally the maximum you can stay in another country without applying for a visa. BUT as shengen has no borders it's hard to check. But I guess if you broke the law or something you'd be required to prove you hadn't stayed longer. I believe that's always been the case . It's just now more noticeable for brits as we get checked. But the first 2 years I longterm travelled in Spain and Portugal I was technically meant to leave after 90 days then re enter to reset clock ... but I believe anything longer than 180 days it changes again.
Someone who can explain it better will be along soon .
But if you Google " how long can I stay in a foreign country for" it generally says 90 days with no visa , longer requires a visa
Difficult to say, each one has it's particular beauty. If pushed, I might say El Hierro or La Palma.Hey Barriesimpson , which one is your favourite island?

I don't I'm afraid, but it was just off the TF5 before arriving at Santa Úsula. I found it on the park4night app.That's useful. Do you have the name and location of the petrol station please
I am a permanent Spanish resident so have all the rights of a national. As Spain is still in the European union I can stay for as long as I like in any other European union country. In the UK, being a British Citizen I can also stay as long as I like, and vote tooThat statement seems contrary to another Permanent Resident, here -

I'm not talking about brits I'm talking about any European. Germans for instance are only really legally allowed to be in Spain, or in France or in Greece for 90 days without a visa . Same with French or Spanish. But because there's no shengen borders so no way of actually checking then it isn't enforced . As brits we were the same before brexit.Tam, the discussion is not about Brits in Europe, but about any differences of travel rights of EU country 'Permanent Residents' compared with EU country 'Residents'.
See this is unfortunately the common misconception but it's not correct.I am a permanent Spanish resident so have all the rights of a national. As Spain is still in the European union I can stay for as long as I like in any other European union country. In the UK, being a British Citizen I can also stay as long as I like, and vote too![]()
