Spain/Portugal where are you?

Just back from a 26 mile drive on the N270.
We only saw one Motorhome...And that was Portuguese.
Where are they all ?

Some of the campsites may be closed.
Check out the POIs. . Generally, away from the big cities, Portugal is safe and welcoming.
Ask on here, for tips.
 
Autogas/ GLP at Quelfes East Algarve.

Has anyone topped up a calor bottle there, recently.?
Ages since we last did.
 
If you head a few miles south on N340 coast road there’s a Repsol garage on the right hand side of road (not the one on the left just outside Torrox). There’s a laundrette on forecourt as well. There’s also a lorry wash place so you can give mh a bit of a once over if you get into a bit of a sandstorm and need roofs/solar panels cleaning.
We usually make that garage one of our clean up days.

Dreaming of shorts and tee shirts 24/24.. ?

Filling Calor Cylinders.

Good news.
We can confirm that the Autogas ..GPL, at Quelfes, North of Olhâo is happy to fill these.

Know Tavira very well but don't recognise that roundabout.....sign looks a bit Photoshop to my technophobic unskilled eye. I look after a house 5km from there that has been in the same family for over 30 years and in that time there has never been a frost.
Lowest temp recorded on terrace at house in last 15 years is 3 degrees.
I stand to be corrected but doubt it's real.
Rodders...
 
Definitely a fake, I'm 50KM away the other side of Faro and it has been a little bit nippy in the evenings and early morning, to the extent that a jumper is required, but absolutely nothing like that pic!

Nice one, Marie, you Minx.
.

We thought it was quiet in Tavira this morning... Hardly a motorhome to be seen.
They all must have seen that pic, if it was posted on other websites.. Maybe they have all fled to Morocco.
What is all that white stuff called? Remind me please.

Definitely Fake, there are no roundabouts with palm trees I can recall in Tavira but can assure has been no snow as long as I can remember (33 yrs.) just one year was a freak couple of flakes fell from the sky. Having said though it’s blooming chilly right now and I’m sure the locals would love to see snow like in the pic. !!
 
Wishful thinking, maybe? :) it’s beautiful in Nerja now the wind has dropped btw ...
