Spain/Portugal where are you?

Turned off the A63 at St Vincent de Tarosse and are parked up nicely at Labenne.
Outside the sports centre,½ a mile on the RHS, before Labenne Ocèan resort.
It all looks closed for the winter.
We'll find out if that's right at 7 am tomorrow.

Here?

Google Maps

Is there a charge? According to Campingcar-Infos there is ...
 
Sorry,Chris,
The map freezes up on my windows phone.
Judging by the number of vans parked up, in odd places,near the beach, either the aire is full or charges.
My wildcamping nose started twitching...
We drove in, turned round and came out on on the same,main road.
Look for the Zoo, on the RHS,as we left.
There's a stadium and sports complex,just past it, where the road ends.
Loads of flat, hardstanding. Nice walking

Bingo.
Lovely and quiet between there and the sports centres further along, where the road ends.
Lord! Did it rain, overnight.

Brilliant now,on the N1 ,30 miles east of Burgos.
 
Pauljenny,

We've stayed a couple of times at Burgos but what and where is Pesuega? Can't see a village of that name only Pampliega south of Burgos with an 'other urban' stop on the E80

Sorry, Pesuega is the river.
I blame the red wine!
We're at Pampliega.
It's lovely.
The land around looks very dry.
When we arrived there was a temporary bar near where we usually park.
At 6pm, a stunning young lady appeared and opened up.
We asked if we should move,she said there's no problem.

Then some locals arrived and started drinking.
We went for a stroll along the river,returned,and ordered a beer for me and a Rioja for Management.
Then I noticed there was no till in evidence.

More drinks were brought and they explained that that Saturday was the last night of the harvest fiesta, to celebrate the end of summer. They'd come to " dispose " of the remaining stock.
at 10, the beer ran out, they locked up and disappeared.
About an hour later,the rain started.
Talk about perfect timing?
Cloudy intervals but dry, this morning. We're having a rest day, climbing up to the restaurant at the top of the village for lunch.
On our way tomorrow... Unless?

Pampliega. After the climb up to the top of the Villa village.
Excellent lunch in the Meson..10EUR. All in.
Don't get much better, in September.
 
Porto Mao

Any recent report on Porto Mao over the years it been closed and opened many times who last looked
 
Just pulled off the A66 ,30 minutes south of Salamanca. Signposted,Martinamore, Buenavista
At the Hotel Quatro Calzados, ( 4 pavements.). Its on the old pilgrim road.
Very nice lunch..apart from the rubber chicken. But at 10 Euro a wack, less 5, for complaining.. Good value, large jug of red wine for the navigator, fresh orange juice for the chauffeurse.
Good stop, for an overnight.
Aire at Carceres, next.

Industrial strength WiFi. Have updated all European maps, while parked 50 ft from restaurant..
What's not to like about this lifestyle?

Bolnuevo - again

Well, we're in Bolnuevo for another winter (imagine an English summer). Anyone passing is welcome to call in for a pot of tea/glass of beer/wine.

It's not wildcamping but it suits us for 5/6 months.

Hi, I think we've been there....big flat site site....mega wifi...as you say...bus from just outside site to Salamanca ? Maja
 
Swimming at last

Beautiful location for wild swimming.
Deep pool with clear water. Dive/jump points. Large smooth rocks providing easy access into river. Sitting ledges at various depths.
Private location due to steep, rough access track.

Today was hot weather, pure sun, no wind in the valley, cool water; perfect at last.

Don't come tomorrow though because we will be there again!

Ah yes, but wait a minute.....Carol is right....the thread is mostly about winter abroad so a new thread as she mentions should commence now, in 2017 (ready for this coming winter)...not 2018...too late !!
