Spain

We are parked at the side of the road in an industrial estate on the outskirts of Figueres, where Kelpie stuttered to a stop! (42.23221, 2.96134). After our flat battery episode in Gruissan, we took the advice of the mechanic to do some driving to help charge the batteries. Well it was a mixture of […]

Relieved to be back on the road, we headed off towards a town called Peñíscola, stopping off over night on the way at a private aire called Area 340 near Creixell. We were the only van on site so had our pick of the pitches which sounds great but in reality there were only two […]

Kelpie is parked up on a large free site behind a Spanish restaurant in Nules Playa, Valencia – overlooking the mountains behind (39.83535,  -0.10492).

(38.517564, -0.223046). We said our goodbyes to Felixa and Wayne as they set off towards home, wishing them […]
