Spain/Portugal where are you?

I was going to post a picture of a frosted schooner of beer,
But supped it too quickly.
I'll just have to try again tomorrow.
 
Nazaré

So,we left Obidos later this morning and headed for the coast via Caldas da Rainha,Foz do Arelho, Sao Martinho do Porto then finally to Nazaré. Very nice scenic coast run through some pretty little villages till we reached Nazaré. Parked almost in centre but place was pretty busy with lots of tourists so had lunch in a pleasant restaurant just off the front. Then went up in cable car and walked down to the lighthouse overlooking North beach, stunning 360 deg. views. Then walked back down to centre and decided too many vans around so moved slightly north to a lovely spot on cliffs for the night.

Stoppit. Gary,
You're making our feet itch, but bringing back such lovely memories.
If you get a chance to see a local bullfight.. Do so, just for the experience..
It's so much different from the barbaric Spanish ones.
Keep the reports coming.
 
Manta Rota.. Update.
Just visited, this evening... Not a single MH on the aire.
5 vans parked, just outside the main capark, now marked by , P. Parking signs,saying except for motorhomes..
I wonder if that will change, in Autumn...?
 
Tomar

So, what a lovely night we had in Nazaré all could be heard we’re the waves crashing in. Had a good walk on the beach first thing this morning couple of fisherman and one old fisherman with a dog. Went and had a word with him and he was bass fishing with a long line with feathers. Asked him if he’d caught anything and he pulled out a nice bass, remember for next time to bring my rods.. Just arrived at Tomar and have settled into the old campsite which is now free of charge with water, waste disposal grey and black and free cold showers, very nice spot indeed with private spots to park grass etc. 👍
 
Travelling down ..?
There's loads of information on this thread..
Anyone about at present. ?
 
In Portugal for next few months...could do with a bit of sunshine rather than clouds and heavy frost. But it will come soon! Near Serta ...thanks for bumping the thread, Pauljenny. It does have loads of info and bears rereading.
If you have a little while ...
 
Just pulled into Chateauroux for the night. Had a day in Paris yesterday, a lot of walking as most of the metro is affected by strikes.
Heading to Les Eyzies des Tayac tomorrow to look at cave paintings.😊

Just arrived at Faro island, several vans here but about fifty over the causeway at the end of the airport runway squat. Weather OK but a bit over cast today still warm though great surf today lots of folks out riding it.
 
Are you heading to Nazare? There's a nice little wave to surf apparently. Hoping it's firing in March when we get there.
 
We're up in the hills, NE of Faro.
The foul weather hasn't arrived, but it's 10 degrees and more of a heavy mist, rather than the expected drizzle.
 
Where do you stay in Nazare? We have only been in the car but would like to visit in the motorhome...have memories of very narrow streets and poor parking!
 
I've bumped a thread giving details of a website regarding a scheme to welcome Motorhomers to the Algarve.
Hope it's useful.
 
In Alicanti province till 24th Jan. Then making my way slowly towards Portugal. Frosty mornings and cool nights here. Glad the gas heating is working.⁰

Paul, what do mean by bumped........


There's a very helpful website showing Aires and places, where motorhomes are welcome, Alas, not necessarily on that perfect beach , between someone's expensive holiday accommodation and the sea....

It's ..
