Just coming to the end of our 2 month trip (our shortest since we retired 8 years ago). Stayed on 2 paid aires one in Cartegena as we had problems with the van & one in Seville as it was the option for a short visit, rest of the time we wildcamped. It was more the people that we met, bumped into quite a few people we had met previously & had a great time. Spent more time at places rather than travelling too much.Did consider a few campsites but prices are high if you only want to stay a few days & have to stay a month to get a reasonable rate. One year we did have a month on a campsite & by the second week we were really restless & yearned to get on the road again. Had about a week wilding along the La Manga strip, great weather, nice & quiet just as we like it.

All the camper stops we saw had the vans packed in tight, at least when your wilding if you don't like the neighbours you can just move on.

Glad your enjoying your trip, but to us the idea of having a reasonable sized motorhome is we don't need anything except somewhere to dump waste & get water occasionally.
 
Short update

Jan returned yesterday, much to my relief. After two large Bacardi's she was able to forgive any transgression!

The aircon was very feeble so I got the OK from Viscount Motorhomes to get it sorted. Took Hugo to the Mercedes dealer today (just for fun) and they wanted €160 to check it out and recharge it. I crossed the road to this Dutch fellow Garageeddy and he did it in 25 minutes for €65 cash. He was reluctant to give me a receipt at that price but I got a grubby bit of paper out of him bearing the price and his trade stamp to present when I get home.
It works now! Brrrrr!

The motorhome next door to us was broken into on Sunday mid-morning: a laptop was stolen. They forced the driver's door lock,so now our door is chained to the driver's seat.

Discovered Albir beach yesterday; an oasis of charm in the cultural desert that is Benidorm!

We hope that the weather improves soon.
Janet and John

Dull and humid, and slight golden rain earlier which left the van looking like a Faberge egg!

This piccie at Albir yesterday shows how nice it was, but things are changing all the time!

The authorities have tolerated free/wild camping in 2 carparks this year which are generally full or near full. Unfortunately some campers are resorting to "reserving their pitch" when going of for a drive etc so not a lot of churning. Water and sewage disposal are close by.
Some have attempted to camp at carparks where motorhomes are clearly signposted as prohibited. The police have quickly moved them on you could argue the legality of this....best of luck.
Guardia Viejas 5km from Almerimar has some free/wildcamping close to the beach water supoply was cut off 2 months ago but sewage disposal still available.

The marina pay campsite offers the view of a concrete seawall and when windy (ie pretty much consistently this year) is very noisy due to the close proximity of windlashed yacht rigging. The Marina lighthouse campervan pay parking area is a better bet for most.

Unless you enjoy motorhome ghettoes don't even bother to venture down the hill to Salobrena freecamp. If it rains enjoy a grandstand view from the road above as they attempt to exit, the front wheel drives in particular.

Wild camping in Almerimar is a joke, most of the vans that have taken over the 2 car parks have parked long ways on instead of end ways on so that only half the number of vans can park, a case of " I'm alright Jack, Fxck you ", and they have been here for months leaving chairs out while they visit the local Mercadona. The local Ayuntamienta are monitoring the situation and do not be surprised if next year the signs go up " No Overnighting ". The minority spoil it for the rest again.
