Spain/Portugal where are you?

Yes mixed my o's and a's up. About 15 vans or so here at the mo. And a bit further down by the harbour there was about 4 vans yesterday. Lovely and warm . Great for cycling , but didn't bring the bikes. Bar right next door and a nice restaurant about 75 mtrs away where we had a lovely meal last night. We also had Xmas dinner there back in December .

It's a really nice spot not found a hose connection that fits the water dispenser on the beach. We are at Bolneuvo at the moment and aim to stop on the way back for a few days.

Last time we were there we had Heir Hitler walking round telling everyone what they could and couldn't do. He had set himself up on the front row overlooking the beach and was watching everyone.

Hi yes walking the dog the last 2 nights and the van next to us has been down there filling all his water bottles. There are about 3 vans on that front row. But I think that isn't right really. The locals all like to park up there , and the vans thatare there are getting some looks. Yesterday one was parked lengthways and it was a tag axle. So I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before it is stopped.

Are you on the site there or wilding? We were there January and stayed a couple of nights in the car park where the erosions are. Didn't have any bother tucked away at the back north end.

No we are on the Campsite. We are not going any further south this time. Will start working our way back beginning of October. Been using the washing machines on site and getting bedding and clothes washed.

Few signs in the car park with No Caravans and No Camping.

We stopped at Alcossebre on the way down. Got there early evening so stopped outside campsite by the sea. Had very noisy Swedish neighbours on La Tropicana site. Every time a new Swedish MH turned up they were out inviting them round for drinks. Only stopped a couple of nights and then went back out on the front by the sea again. The tumble weed town further along the coast was ok for overnight with porta loo and water on the beach. 2 watering cans work really well.

We were there last April and were told by a local Brit that it's ok on the front except for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays when the Restaurant busier with locals.The Restaurant owner has been known to ask people to move from that general area to the left of the Restaurant. Inconsiderate to park length ways and that will pi$$ people off. No bother parking anywhere else there and some had been their months.

Nice walk up to the tower / fortification on the end of the bay.

Enjoy.

I don't know about that one I'm afraid.
This one is at the Chipiona end of town, Sanlucar AC parking it's called. Not bad spot, some nice pitches with own grass patch or as Alfonso, the very friendly guy that runs it, says your own garden!! Great wi-fi, good enough for downloading. €10 a night, leccy extra but is very low amp. Beach on doorstep, not much around TBH, only stayed a night. Onto Rota, free with facilities.

Hi again Terry.
I
Yes I had an early start to get back to my mates housebuild near Alhama for the next couple of weeks. Then hopefully Portugal bound for a couple of months when my wife flies back out from the UK .
I must thank you and your good lady wife for your hospitality. Next time the beers are on me.
Hope all goes well with your health issueservices next month.
 
For all who know and love La Azohia the manhole on the side street has now been sealed preventing us from emptying the cassete. There is now a portaloo on the beach though.
 
Free level overnight parking just west of Albufeira, cafe/restaurant (Prato do dia €10 but didn't sample, coffee €2 English spoken), 2 small coves - fairly packed, lovely sea view and of the tourists going out on their boat trips from nearby marina 37°04′34.91″N 08°16′39.49″W

I checked the POI map on the forum before posting .....!! The last time you told me this for a POI I hadn't updated my POI map, so I checked.

No problem ... I just post information such as this so others can more easily locate a recommended POI.
 
We're just back from a 2½ hour visit to the local gipsy market.
Chicken piri piri, pork ribs, olives, bread red wine,water. ...7€ all in.
While we were there, we met friends,who forced presunto ham and drinks down us.
Shared the table with a Dutch couple, followed by a French Portuguese couple.
Met our neighbours,including the mayor...I hate this place.

Siesta time .

They are putting in a proper aire, central to all ameneties.

.Look up Santa Catarina Da fonte Do Bispo. .. Behind the Silos ,at the coopertiva , 200 metres east of the centre , off the N270...

We'll take a stroll down tonight , to check it out.

See you at the bakery...its a must do.

Why the Hell should we want to go to the seaside ,on a hot crowded Sunday?
