New Year at Monmar Campsite, Moncofar Spain
Kelpie is tucked into quite a large pitch at Camping Monmar which is a large campsite at the other side of Nules Playa in a small town called Moncofar (Moncofa in Spanish) (39.80838, -0.12721). When we arrived, the young man at reception came out to have a look at the size of Kelpie and thought […]
“Wild Camping” at Javea and Moraira
Pushing further south, we headed from Moncofar towards Javea to meet up with some friends and for Kelpie to get his first experience of “free camping” (not on a campsite or aire). Javea is a small coastal town, turned modern resort, and lies in the shadow of the impressive Montgó Massif mountain, which changes shape […]

Hair-Cut and Half-Cut in Benidorm
Kelpie is still parked up at Camping Imperium Alicante. The weather has improved a little for a couple of days, so we take the opportunity catch a tram up to the thriving holiday metropolis of Benidorm on the Costa Blanca. Although we gave Benidorm a wide swerve as regards campsites, we couldn’t resist a wee […]
A Pleasant Surprise In La Villajoyosa
After our big day out in Benidorm we battened down the hatches for some rain and stormy winds for a couple of days at the campsite but no snow thank goodness. Our early days in Villajoyosa were spent finding the supermarket for supplies, banks for cash machines and other such mundane tasks. We had driven […]
Peace And Quiet In Gorgeous El Castell de Guadalest
Kelpie is overlooking a large reservoir whilst also being overlooked himself by a 15 century castle in the tiny mountain settlement of El Castell de Guadalest, nestled in the mountains not far off the coast at the Costa Blanca (38.6767263, -0.2006853). Our friends Wayne and Felixa had mentioned a small village in the mountains above […]
