So here we are in Seville and as cyberyacht predicted, at Puerto Gelves. A nice port with all the services for €20 a night. Had some lovely food too, in a restaurant in the same port.

You're lucky though. I was there during Seville Feria and it was an additional €10 on top.

Yes, 'high season' is €30 and if you are longer than 8M it's another €5 on top.

Today we arrived at Monesterio, a small town in Badajoz. We are at a free area with all the services provided by the local council and there is a large Spar supermarket next door. It's a bit dirty here to be honest, but quiet and secure, so we'll stay the night and continue tomorrow to Mérida.

Well we decided to leave the area after lunch, siesta and unloading waste water and black then filling fresh. We are now parked next to a lake and having a glass of wine

Lunch was at a gastro tapas restaurant, very nice it was too. Might stay another day here as there is lots to see and eat
The missus being rude.
That's cool. The residents discount is a winner
I've been on that ferry a few times. And a few beers round the pool
Just as an FYI, Diesel Bob (Diesel Injection specialist) told me the same thing as Auto Express when he re-calibrated the pump on my Mitsubishi Delica for me.

I don't agree with Bob either.

You probably should have my friend, it is steeped in Romanic history and also has many restaurants to choose from. Tomorrow we will explore the area.

Second day in Mérida. There is a fascinating history to this city and many Roman remains from when this was one of their favourite places apparently.

We got up early this morning for an early start as it seems we have been too relaxed and might not make our appointment with the gas guy in Galicia. So today we have travelled 160km, we didn't stop in Cáceres (we probably will on the way back down) or Plasencia. Tomorrow we will not stop at Salamanca either because I think we need at least 2 days there to really appreciate it, so that'll be another for the return journey. So we have stopped in Béjar, Castilla y León, for lunch and the night. A free area provided by the local council, that includes fresh water, grey and black emptying and bins but no electricity. It's very nice, level and peaceful and there are another 15 or so motorhomes already. I imagine more will arrive later. On arrival it was still raining but this afternoon the sun is shining again.

Puebla de Sanabria, Zamora today. It's one of only 5 CCP sites in Spain right now and certainly is not the most beautiful area, but for €5 a night you get fresh water and black and grey disposal and wifi (albeit slow), so not all bad. The surrounding area is fantastic, with a river just 50 metres away.
