They think that's the wine limit.

Random rock band in the town square, they were amazing.

After a good walk-around around we found a local bar/restaurant.
Extremely good

Mr porky · Sunday at 4:17 PM

Note to self don't post after 2 bottles of wine.

It's a posh picky tea

I would think it’s at least 7200kg if not 7495kg, and again at a guess you will have around 1000kg or more, we have just under 1000 and we have a retarder which is heavy.

Mr porky · Sunday at 4:43 PM

Last picture for today.
I have no idea what you call this but it's a crispy sweet and sour crisp bread which i love to have with a beer. The local panaderia sold this.
You can buy them in the supermarket.

I believe we are 1.3 ton payload

That's not a lot for the size of van, our last Hymer was 1350kg.

Yeah, but it means you have to make the paella while naked because you have no payload for clothes......

Don't start that again

Time to take out the washing machine, what was wrong with a mangle and washboard Phil?

I can't help to add something about Spanish wines. We do have very good wines from many regions, as you know, and quite different between each other. But, from all those, just two are DOC (Qualified Guarantee of Origin), Rioja and Priorat (mountains in Tarragona). An spectacular kind of wine we do have in that region also is Montsant.
View attachment 994364
But at the end of the day, jumar is right, best option is the one that makes you feel good, for whatever reason.
We like to drink the wine / beer / food from the region we are holidaying.

We discovered some great wines from monsant and poblat last trip. Need to restock on the way home.

I just told him that, he wasn't impressed.
Although he's insisting i remove my jeans so he can wash them

JockandRita · Sunday at 8:44 PM

We don't have a Morelo, but we are plated 250Kgs short of 7 Tonnes and have 2,250 Kgs of available payload.

Those retarders must be mega heavy Martin.

Cheers,

Jock.

Now that's a sensible payload.
