Back in Sunny Spain.

They were building up the festival area when we were there but the manhole is in the field before it - maybe they have fenced that off too?

It was very quiet mid-May but as you say, when the music gets going, it will be far from quiet - time to go back to Simat which is a lovely free aire.

Apologies, the cassette dump is exactly where you said 39.15546 -0.242965. I was looking for the manhole further away nearer the river where we normally stay to avoid the ‘hoi polloi’.

But this morning, very quiet, less than 20 vans, very pleasant. Must get away before next week, though, the weather is hotting up & parking charges come into effect in the town from the 15th, this area will be banged out.

Another useful location, there’s a drinking water tap in the small park behind the tower blocks 39.161216 -0.244895, there are also toilets here, I emptied the cassette here before finding the field location.
 
Cullera FILTH!

On leaving Cullera, went to empty cassette down the manhole in the field, noticed some dirty asshole had emptied one in the short grass just 5ft from the hole, obviously couldn’t lift the heavy cover, or just couldn’t be bothered.

Thought of reporting it to the authorities, but that could foul it up for the responsible majority & a storm was forecast which could have camouflaged the mess.

I couldn’t blame the council if they did ban MHs with scum like this about. Also a small dustbin in the field was piled high with rubbish spilling out everywhere when there is a recycling bank 200metres away.

Another solid reason why I mainly avoid large groupings!
 
After Cullera, had a slow wander up the coast, found a small Spanish resort & parked on the beach. No other vans here, no Germans, no Dutch, no French & we are probably the only English.

No restrictions, Police & Guardian have driven past, cops even called out ‘Buenas Dias’. The natives are welcoming & very friendly. There are drinking water points, immaculate toilets & even showers on the promenade.

This place is not mentioned on any of the foreign wild camping sites I have looked at, I will share it with me mates.

Don’t think I’ll bother with Cullera again.

The manholes dotted in and about the Cullera free camp are considered by some
of the locals (various nationalities) to be downwind of the screening facility, or storm
water only. I don't know if they are correct. They sometimes turn the covers over to
make them more difficult to remove.

My own view is, that unless you are absolutely sure you are doing the right thing
yourself, it's probably wisest not to complain to the L.A, and that applies throughout
Spain.

Nothing to stop someone personally dealing with a filthy sod that chucks his crap out
just anywhere, and preferably with a headbutt!

I go there a lot fishing and the skipper told me that these manholes go straight to the outlet pipe after they have left the treatment works so that means they are putting there crap untreated out in the sea you only have to look on the beach after some high tides to see it,:mad1:

Cheers Ken, I'd only be there from January onwards. After this year I thought I wouldn't want to go again - done it three years running - but can't wait to get away again! I'm supposedly going to France for a month in September but at the back of my mind I keep thinking, hmmm, maybe venture down to Spain! :eek:
 
Amazing, the difference a few hundred kilometres makes to the temperature. Drove to Pamplona, bloody freezing!, looked in on a Spanish chum who said ‘it hasn’t stopped pi$$ing with rain for days’. Had to dig the duvet out, we’ve only had a single sheet on the bed for six weeks.

Didn’t hang about, drove to San Sebastian yesterday where it’s warmer but a lot more expensive & the food is mouth watering.

If the wind comes from the Pyrenees, Pamplona freezes, or at least cools off.
