As there are quite a few of us wandering around the Iberian Peninsula, chasing the weather☀️,just thought it would be nice to have a thread for saying where we are and any recommendations for stopovers🛏/sights to see🕍/places to eat🍤or drink🍷and maybe meet up:blah:
 
At La Manga at the moment until 15th Feb and then ferry from Calais on 20th
 
I'm parked up on the sea front at Cadiz. Staying tonight then moving along the coast Jerez de Frontera I think. Yes, would be great to see people!

There's some lovely places along there, it'll be a while till we catch up with you!
 
Forgot to mention we are heading to Peniscola tonight heard it's an attractive town with a castle, of course, it was used for a couple of well known films, but can't remember the names
 
Still in Bolnuevo, back to the UK for a few days next week for a funeral and then back here until mid April.

Sadly not there at the moment but we were in Peniscola a few weeks back. We parked in the town but later saw others parked at the far end of the harbour by the Port buildings.
 
Fuengirola Feria.

Still at the feria in Fuengirola. Never seen so many vans here. Space for about 40 in the tolerated car park. Counted 76 last night including the nearby "car" parks. Probably busier than usual as La Cala Mijas keeps getting cleared. 3 times in the last 3 weeks. The nearby campsites are saying they're full as well.

Don't know how long before we're moved on as a few Dutch vans are now camping with chairs, solar panels, mats and....... pot plants outside their vans. They've been told by quite a few people including me this camping and will get us all chucked off but they just shrug it off and say whatever.

Rain last night but suns out now and warm.

That's where we stopped and within 5 minutes, before we had left the van the police came and moved us on. Apparently, it's on the website they said, motorhomes are not allowed in the town.
 
Just South of Cordoba

We are just south of Cordoba and will be moving on tomorrow to stay at Embalsa de Cubillas for perhaps a couple of nights. Then heading for inland Murcia, towards Bullas via Caravaca de La Cruz.
 
We're overwintering in an Algarve village,25 miles west of the Spanish border, 10 miles inland.
Loads of cheap, traditional places to eat and buy me a beer.
If you're passing, just ask.
 
He's obviously keeping it a secret. He doesn't want us lot of wanderers ending up on his doorstep! :wave:

Got chucked off at Javia ( Xavia ) by police after one night stop, along with 10 other MH's even though we were parked within the white lines and Not showing to be obvious camping :cry:
Now at Las Marinas, at the Westside of Roquestas de Mar (N 36° 43' 14.9" W 02°38' 0.3" ) camping allowed,:banana: until March, (by the looks off all the Krauts, who have been here All winter, ) toilet dump, again just follow a cassette bearing Kraut, :lol-053:no water, but sensitivity in parking is required to not upset the local residents:rolleyes2:! There is plenty of room on the quiet, urban roadside parking!:wave:
 
At a free aire in Ibi inland from Alicante. Heading tomorrow for an aire at nearby Castalla where there is supposed to be hookup available.

I can then use my power hungry laptop to catch up on all the many outstanding POI updates. I have found lots of places to add so far on my trip, and there are plenty of others from our members on the road as well as some gleaned from fellow travellers I have met.

I stayed overnight in Peniscola on the prom. In the morning I found a note from the police advising very politely that motor homes are not permitted to park overnight. A refreshing change ...
