EL ROCIO SPAIN

[vindiboy]

Hi all we have arrived at EL ROCIO today from Isla Christina. Found a good wild place here at Rocio and there are about 15 vans here, almost in the town centre. Big happening in the town horses and riders everywhere and lots carts being pulled by Mules or Burrows I think they are called. Great atmosphere here sunshinning and everyone happy. Town not changed since we were last here 10 years ago. Coach parties having street parties. singing and dancing and

clacking castinettes luvin it. Flamingos on the lake too.

We visited last year and stayed on the green by the tourist office and Police station, there were about 6 other motorhomes, the wife was in her element being a horse loving person.

The location mentioned is in the Iberia POIs.

There is a tap nearby as well.

We stayed at the campsite nearby the first time we went but it was a rip off - last time we parked up across the road from the main part of the town. It’s a lovely place with lots of character especially if there is a fiesta....

Yes, been there, loved it. Large bird reserve adjacent.
Straight down the coast from there is where I found virtually empty holiday villages. Didn't overnight but spent a great day on the Sea front- BY MYSELF!

Sometimes, if the campsite is empty, the owner complains to the cops, who then shift all the wildcampers, so some will go and pay the exorbitant fees.
There's probably a Caravan Club rally there at present.. Bless 'em.
Go back to the main road. , Left hand down a lot, drive the 5km ish to Matasceneños, on the coast.
Park up there, overnight.

We were their last year. A very different and interesting town. As the local transport requires water rather than oil there are taps everywhere. We parked up on the coast overnight rather than risking a nighttime tap on the door from the local police.

We plan to revisit March/April time and currently a frustrated stay at homer due to a bit of conversion/renovation work which Mrs Moped insists we have done rather than take our usual January trip to Spain/Portugal. Not complaining mind as builders doing a good job and once it’s done, it’s done.

Checked the weather for the area and it’s looks great right now so extremely envious! Enjoy the rest of your trip which no doubt will include a visit to Seville which is a fantastic city and extremely cycle friendly.
