Spain/Portugal where are you?

Sad to hear about Nisa, it was one of the highlights of our last visit to Portugal and we had hoped to revisit on this trip. We arrived in Portugal on Wednesday and spent our first night under the walls at Braganca. A few long termers still there but we managed to get a space by acting French (park anywhere!). We are still quite close to Braganca at a great little ACSI site in the Montesinho natural park. It's called Capo Verde and is 11 euros a night. We are staying here a few days while we do a few running repairs. Managed to replace the awning arm yesterday, what a job that was!
 
All part of life's rich pattern, Helen.
Could be worse...
You could have dragged a tugger down, having booked in advance for 3 precious weeks... Would you stay, or risk tugging to another unknown campsite.
At least we have the option to wildcamp.
You'd be bored if it was perfect every day.

We have now moved down to tha aire in Alvor which is in a much better spot than the campsite, and I don't think we have ever had such a big enthusiastic welcome to any where as we did here from the guy looking after this place sadly we will be moving on a little further tomorrow, but as it is portugal I am sure the next place will be great too
 
Not there yet. Arrive Santander 3 May, depart 5 June. First stop Picos de Europa, then a circle taking in national parks, scenic drives and villages and visiting friends in the centre of Portugal. There is a plan, see photo, and as someone once said to me 'the beauty of a plan is that you have something to change'. The map pins are destinations, not necessarily overnight stops.

Hi Sue, there's a brilliant wild camping spot a couple of minutes drive from Monsaraz, by the lake. You can see it from Monsaraz.
 
Now back in Bilbao overnighting in the car park from which I departed on 1st January.

I have travelled 4,757 miles to get back to where I started!

A couple more nights in Spain then home through France. I reckon I'll be back in Blighty in about a week ...
 
PS Caught up with VWAlan two months after our first meeting at La Isleta. He was at Playa de Rodiles, a lovely spot, and soon to be added to the POIs.

Strange to meet somebody after such a long time and so far away!
 
We have moved on and are now wild camped not far from "OR Barragem do Azibo", great spot, sunny and 25 degrees!
 
We had a day with the grandsons,on the world's most perfect beach.
Warm sea, proper sand and a superb lunch ,less than 150 metres from the shoreline.
Octopus and Lulas, are the only clues.
 
Parked at Hondarriba for the night, it's pretty packed but not a Brit and certainly not a 'W' in sight! Wasn't sure what to expect here, it is actually very nice - shame about the weather but I suppose it is getting us accustomed to what to expect back in Blighty!
