Lovely town, Osuna.
Look out for the Casino, on the main street. It's not a gambling joint, more a cross between a working men's club and a chamber of commerce. Good cheap,( er), grub and drink.... Quite posh.
They have a tradition of offering hospitality to strangers and travellers.
If you're still there on Friday and Saturday nights, the streets are buzzing with wedding parties.... In all their finery.

We are now parked up in the Alvor aire. Easy to see why it is a popular place. Did a bit of a reccy yesterday and bought home made cake from the Sunday market. We like our tea and cake in the sun. Will take our time today and explore the coves which are claimed to be the most picturesque in Europe. Apparantly Leonardo de Caprio did a spot of filming in these coves for one of his movies. Plenty parked up in the car park opposite by the sports stadium but as our neighbours said you cannot “camp” there. We would prefer to pay the €4.50 and set up tables, chairs, etc. and have inclusive fascilities so we can be a bit more extravagant with the water and generally be a bit more relaxed.

Spotted a WC sticker on a van behind. There may be a few more parked up here. Will have to request one when back in UK.

Hi Paul, we passed through your village last week and see the locals are still celebrating Xmas with all the street lights still a blazing!! Have noticed a lot more vans though cruising on the 125 the last week or so like you posted last month it had been rather quiet? Tavira next to municipal market has been jammed the last 2 weeks reckon there will be a clearout soon. Will have to try and a catch up when you get back,all the best 👍
 
Any space left in Spain? We are heading slowly to Northern Spain, currently near Bordeaux. Plans are to travel aimlessly( just as we normally do) for a month, taking in the sights, hoping for a bit of warmth and maybe a visit to Santiago de Compostela.
Bit limited with time as we have to be home on the 18th March for a week, then heading back for a few months to have a look round Portugal.

If you want to avoid being a sardine go to Aires with facilities , use them , then go somewhere else .
 
Could be a bit nippy at Santiago.
It has bit of a reputation of van robberies, if you're parked up for sight seeing. One member of the gang shadows you, reporting back when it's safe for his mates to break into the van.. All very slick and professional.
An interesting alternative is to park up in Noya, on the coast.. It'll be peaceful and you can take the bus into Santiago.
 
Spain

Not there just now . but for the last three years we have stayed near Nerja. We found that the coast road between nerja and la herradura had a lot of nice pulloffs which were on the cliffs overlooking the sea. water and toilets for emptying loo,s etc on the beach in la herradura along with good food and bars near or on the beach. A bus service both ways to malaga or alumenica great market twice a week, good for shopping, good tapas on the front also English fish and chip bar which does a cracking sunday lunch in the sun. wifes not too well just now so we are missing it quite a lot. keep trucking ……...
 
Just arrived is Spain full?

Just arrived at Balerma east of Motril.
Thought we'd rest up for a couple of days at a site Mar Azul. No can do rammed full kindly let us stay in car park over night.
We intended to plod along to Mojacar mix of sites/sites and wilding. It's our first trip any recommendations? Scenery is the thing for us.
Many thanks
 
Almerimar Port

The Port Aire at Almerimar is beautiful and there still a bit of space, loads came empty this morning. 10€ without electric but it's here if you need it. Windy today but not so on the terrace of the Stumble Inn. I have to say though I have never ever camped alongside such a group of misery guts in my life. You barely get a glance let alone a "morning", "morgan" or "hola" - first time I have experienced such ignorance all over France and Spain so must be something in the water. Having said that, the view across to the snow capped Sierra Nevada is breathtaking.
 
Thanks Terrybill. Just what I wanted to hear. Not much liking the sardines on campsite either and 18€ a night.
We will toddle up tomorrow.
Promise we aren't miserable ��
We will be in a rapido with dogs in tow...h
