Off at last by the skin of our teeth!

[noarlunga]

We've had the ferry booked for weeks - Portsmouth/Bilbao on Saturday morning (anybody else travelling then?)

I was halfway through installing a new kitchen unit + better waste and fresh water tanks + refillable gas in our self-build when 'bang' goes the engine. Three weeks and a lot of pocket money later we got the van back (last week) and after hours of work I've just finished the new installations so we're off tomorrow - for a month!

So, Bilbao, Haro, Zaragoza, Figueres ( that's Guggenheim, Rioja wine, El Greco & Goya pictures and Salvador Dali museum) - then round the Pyrenees via the coast and up to medieval Carcassonne - the Camargue, up the Rhone, across to pick up the Loire and round to Nantes.

Anybody got any recommendations for unmissable attractions on that route? Is there a nice wilding spot in The Camargue? What about the Spanish/French border - any good coastal overnight spots? Any tips gratefully received.

If you're thinking of the Dali museum at his house at Port Lligat, you'd better book.
We went there yesterday (Wed) & couldn't get in until Sun.
A good place to overnight is Porto de Selva just over the border on the road to Cadaques, a large car park behind a apartment block right on the front.

I went there years ago when he was still alive and in residence! Great place to visit but don't remember a hassle to get in....
