Spain/Portugal where are you?

Had a good visit at La Marina yesterday now at Cabo de Palos, not at the poi but a small parking area by the recycling where we are sat at the waters edge, watching the fishermen unloading their catch. Cafes are only a few minutes walk away.
 
Back at Lisboa camping

See post ... Amazing ADAC

Came back here as super powerful on pitch water tap that cleaned snow chains and grip tracks and hot power showers for us. Love ADAC.

We actually chickened out and moved last night the wind was getting stronger by the minute and rocking the van, didn't fancy falling over the edge in the night, we were that close 🙀💨
 
We took the East Algarve N125 road from Tavira to Villa Real, yesterday. We don't do this often.
Never seen so many motorhomes before.
Mostly French A Classes,towing trailers.
Do they issue them to every pensioner, with a sh!tty little dog included?

Castro Marim was chocker block full, the aire at Villa Real had spaces.
Alagoa looked crowded,from a mile away

No wonder the locals are complaining and the cops moving and fining.

There's too bl00dy many of us!

Plenty of space at La Azohia. The police are moving on those that attempt to stop in the rambla.
 
We have just left Aguilas, signs erected prohibiting camping also at Playa Calarreona and Playa de la Higeurica. On the way out of Aguilas towards Vera, there is a fuel station, Anibal, which lets you empty cassette, grey water, and fill with water (ask for the key) when you fill with fuel otherwise they charge €2. They also have a camper area where you can stay the night for €7 he also offered to include services €2 and wifi €1 for the same price presumably as we had filled with fuel. There are hot showers, €2, elec 6 amp €3, washer €4 and dryer €3. And areas big enough to wash the motorhome, small charge.

Anyway, over the border into Almeria at Playa Las Palmeras there are a few motor homes us included parked at 37°22′29.57″N 01°38′17.58″W right on the beach! Just got moved on, some people had been there 3 days and they are going back later when the coast is clear.

Good thing too - the snow on the mountains inland has got to go somewhere- isn't that what a ramble is for - floods draining off the mountains?
 
Now at Albir, in the seafront car park by the theatre.
Don't know for how much longer, it's beginning to resemble a camper park more than a car park.
13 vans here last night, saw a miserable looking woman expat counting them this morning,
 
Albir

Hi, we will be headed for Porto exact same time as meeting friends flying over for weekend 24th....
Apparently two sites on beach but cheaper "municipal" site across road? Maja
 
Had a very pleasant evening, and the odd glass, with Moonshadow ... thank you :D

Off to Mojacar tomorrow. Thankfully the very gusty winds have died down.
