Mr. Wallet has disowned me now on a very expensive Auto caravan stop at Rhonda. Tried the free parking that comes up on all the apps it was rubbish you would have struggled to get a T4 in.

Flipping freezing up here put our fleeces on when it dropped to 25° not used to cold evenings & it's now dropped to 21°.

Even worse EHU included, at the last minute I put a mains lead in before we left home but some idiot forgot an adaptor. Chinese Bazaar to the rescue got a 2 pin & earth socket and an extention lead and made an adaptor.

Gave the Multiplus a good test 6amp EHU had the Multiplus making up the other 10 amps I was using.

Philistine!

I haven't noted down the location at all. In readiness for our winter trip. Honest!

Not surprised it's a tad cooler in Ronda, it's quite an altitude up there!
If you are continuing south, there is a lovely run down towards the coast on the A369 to Gaucin then A405.
You drop quite a lot of altitude from Gaucin, but the town gives some spectacular views towards Gibraltar and the Atlas mountains in N. Africa.

Pre MH days, we regularly rented a villa just south of Gaucin in the village of San Pablo de Buceite.

That route will put you on course for Cadiz if Mi still wants to go there.

Enjoy the Trip!

Camper contact went off the boil a couple of years ago is it OK again ?
CamperContact changed and became almost a different app which I think is what put a lot of folk off who had become used to the older version. But I've found after using it a few times you soon get used to it and it works fine.

Not as easy as the old version but you get used to it, I think it was more like 5 years ago it changed.
They have stopped limiting you to looking at 3 sites a day but still limit number of photos & reviews. If I'm feeling flush I sometimes pay for the odd month.

Search4Sightscis is great for the UK but doesn't list as many places abroad also the reviews are often from people who expect an Aire to be like a site.
Never been able to get on with P4N use in an emergency probably OK if you have a T4.
It’s interesting that since your massive battery upgrade you seem to be plugging in more….😆😎🤣
Cheaky sod, apart from playing at home first time this vans been plugged in.
Batteries were down at 64% fully recharged in 2 hours from a 6 amp supply 180ah back into them.

I think we came up that road last time we came here. Came up from Los Angeles where we were staying with friends.

We used to use CC exclusively until we went to Norway for the first time. It was rubbish there. We started to use P4N and its great if you're careful and read the reviews. If you normally only use official motorhome areas there's not often a problem.

We're here right now.

Camper Contact, a lot of them are on Search4Sites but I find Camper Contact has more and more reliable.
Cheers, I’ll give that a go.
We us SfS a lot as I like to transfer the location identification “S” numbers directly to the Sat Nav.

Yes, that's the road!
Los Angeles is the railway station for Jimena de la Frontera.
We caught the train from there in 2009 to go up to Granada for a weekend to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary.
It's a lovely train ride that calls at Ronda on the way. I think it featured in one of Michael Portillo's 'Great Continental Railway Journeys'.

I have SfS as my go to, P4N as back up and although as I pay for CC I never use it! It p####s me off that it won’t do landscape mode when I turn the iPad round as the other two do🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
