Back in Sunny Spain.

IMG_2461.jpgIMG_2461.jpgAnyone going to Torrox, we can heartily recommend Cafeteria Javier. Pork escalope with creamy mushroom sauce, salad and chips, one of the best meals I've tasted for a long while. €7.5. Coffee €1.1. Even John thought it was better than his Bacon, 2 fried eggs chips and salad for €4.75. Along with the best wifi connection we've come across for a while - it's well worth a visit. We'll be back. ��

Can't do links but another site I googled, it showed a red diagonal line across the circle.
Anyway, I noticed the MH image on the access road was not in a red circle but in a square.
Also if you approach from the roundabout there are no apparent restriction notices.
Also yesterday, patrols from Guardia & Policia took no notice, even when two Spanish vans & a large French MH towing a quad bike turned up .
 
Not-so-Stealth-Van

French van wilding at Nerja,
The other unusual feature, it has a full size domestic cooker!

I had a sea view before this Frog turned up at Carboneras.
The van is a Globebus Integral.
Any nearer & it would be integral!

Yesterday, I noticed dozens of W/C spots along the coast from Mojacar to Aguilas, too many to mention, just do the drive & take your pick.
We didn't stop, too early in the day.
Also, I noticed a brand new "Area de Servicio de Autocaravanas" on the left hand side of road,
It wasn't there last year.
I can't remember the exact location as I was trying to keep the van on road in the high winds.
Someone on here will be able to pinpoint it.
 
How far have you got? We moved - across the 'field' at Torrox. Quite happy staying put. We were going to move on Tuesday - haven't decided which Tuesday yet 😀 Rained during the night and I think I just heard thunder. Oh well another bike ride and back to cafe con letche and tapas. It's a hard life but someone has to keep up the good work.

There are many POIs along the stretch of the coast that you mention.

The aire that you mention may well be at Calarreona just to the south west of Aguilas. This is in the POIs.

The day we met you, (I've lost track, don't even know what day it is) we went to Nerja, stayed 2 nights, (I think).
As weather was crap, we drove to Carboneras for 1 night & then on to La Azhoia.
We are now at L'Albir where we'll stay for a few days, then on to Javea, where we'll over-eat at Scallops.
Then we will look in at Cullera, then think about heading north, via San Sebastián for more eating.

Just got in from even sunnier Morocco,
Anyone down here?
I see a few are in Portugal, we don't go there now as we like to swim & much prefer the Med.
We are slowly wandering up the coast, WC'ing, called in at the free aire recommended by loulou at La Linea to empty & fill up with water.
Had 3 days at Torreguadiaro but stayed in the town as the beach location was overrun with film crews.
Now at a favourite little bolt-hole in Malaga.
Can't decide where to head to next. Maybe Ronda, Antequera or Archidona, want to be where they celebrate Easter week.
Even the smallest villages put on a spectacular bash, the Spanish really know how to party.

Sounds a great trip,,,, have fun.....:wave:
 
Just been watching El Clasico in a noisy Spanish bar with noisy Spaniards.
Great atmosphere.
 
How far north are you now. We had a night at Almerimar after tootling along N340a. For anyone travelling along this coast - use the N340a. Really scenic and quiet - apart from the bits you can't see over the plastic. Taken a detour to spend a night or two at Cabo de Gata.

Yes, the effing plastic, almost impossible to ignore.
Not so many years ago the N340 was the only major road, nowadays it's 'the road' to use for the ambling motorhomer, most of the traffic of course is on the A7.
The El Ejido region apparently has one of the highest per capita incomes in the EU (if not the highest), the price they pay for this is an eyesore ocean of plastic crap. I'm sure the figures fail to take into account the immigrant labour population. A drive down some of the access roads to the huertas show 3rd world existence for a lot of these people that's the reality of the 'real Spain' for them. A world away from the Almerimar fantasy a couple of kms. away!!

We are now at Calpe, drove here yesterday from L'Albir, it's been pi$$ing with rain all day.
Wild camping is tolerated here, loads of side roads to park in, loads of German & French vans taking advantage.
We will then head for Javea & then for Cullera, maybe via Simat,
Then will start for north of Spain, San Sebastián for a few days, & then France (maybe).

Now at Cullera, driven here from Simat, it was getting far too hot inland.
There's only about 30 vans here, we're on one of the large concrete aprons with unrestricted views from our side door, but out the back it resembles a campsite.
Most on this section are Brits with not a green "W" in sight, most of them have not heard of the WC forum, & those who have, say it is too campsite & club orientated.
We will soon start heading north, I've booked for the Orkneys & don't want to miss that.
Can anyone pinpoint the water Fuente, I believe it's up the river over the 2nd bridge somewhere?.

I would say we were just the opposite! Where did they get that impression?
