Far from annoying the locals & natives, sometimes the hospitality gets embarrassing.
We always try to overnight far from the madding crowd & it seems the local residents take pity on us. We get invited in for drinks, sometimes meals, they must think living in a campervan we are malnourished, although this is furthest from the truth.
We decline the offers of meals as we can’t repay the hospitality in a small campervan.
Yes I agree where tourists and motorhomers haven't become a familiar scene and
perhaps a PIA, then the local population are usually more hospitable. But for how
much longer? Similar applies to many places.
If only more people wanted to spend more time inland or in the sierras, suits me.
But I, like many others like to spend our winters by the sea. I don't mind forgoing
a bit of hospitality, so long as I don't get a lot of hostility!
In a town such as Cullera, due to the large ever present w/camping
m/homer community and the resulting problems, unfortunately there's just a
hint of lets say, unwelcomeness
Just the mess left by the unthinking is
enough justification IMO.
Just like the quiet locations, local people I've spoken to (I speak a Spanish dialect)
remember a time when Cullera had attitudes not dissimilar to the above. Nowadays
a night in Cullera, is probably one night too many these day! Not too many
signs of hospitality are likely, but I'm sure you know that!
