Aveiro. Good parking spot within easy walking distance of the centre, actually cu Aveiro 1 on POI is a dedicated motorhome/caravan parking area, it is free but suspect there may be charges in season as there is an attendants booth at the entrance, no facilities. The town is quite attractive with it's canals and gondola type boats, moliceiros. Plenty of eating places to choose from, off tomorrow to Costa Nova, it has Portugal's highest lighthouse amongst the top 20 in the world.
 
ARTCAVA, and was DELTA

Found the AF at Sitges north was closed for development into houses, after speaking to a Frenchman in a minibus found he had been broken into, so came north to the vineyard of ARTCAVA, and a very peaceful night.

We entered Cullera, drove round the 200 MH and could not identify any WCrs so went up to El Saler to find a Belgian character we had met 4weeks before.

Woke up looked out and seen a sticker belonging to "samsdad" had a chat checked his fridge/freezer, then off.

The intention is to see some F1 testing on Monday, but weather maybe not too kind.

Best place to park and permitted motorhome parking is just s of the Rua de Banho POI - blue spot. The bar at the top of the parking is EUR1 per glass of wine.

Enjoy the laid back atmosphere and striped building. Really charming and you have the weather for it.

Lovely spot, thank you. Sampled the wine, and admired the stripes houses that look like grown up beach huts!
 
Arrived at the campsite recommended by Maja07, outside of Porto. Looking forward to tasting some port! 🍷

Any recommendations for the best places to visit or are they all much of a likeness?

The wine warehouses and tastings are at Vila Nova de Gaia, get off the bus at Devesas, train station, walk along the front of the train station then turn left down Rua Serpa Pinta, it's quite steep, the only one not open this time of year is Offleys. We found our way into Cockburns, it was like a gentleman's club inside with a real log fire to sit by. Glasses to taste €3 but you can have 3 glasses for €10, which includes better stuff, and they don't mind if you share. We're not big fans of port do it was for the experience rather than a knowledgeable tasting. Enjoy!
 
Chilling in Vila do Conde

We arrived at lunchtime and squeezed in - so many vans. But mostly Portuguese weekenders and they've now mostly returned to their work lives. We've had to retreat from the estuary to a car park so we can sleep ... too much wind - the weather sort!
 
We had to turn our front to the wind at 3am it was so windy, bit calmer today as we head for Costa de lavos
 
LA SEU D'URGELL - below Andorra

Was in Navarcles last night, now here, chilly breeze from snow capped mountains but still 22 degrees.

Rain last night was heavy for an hour but woke to nice sun and cloud, maybe a spot of skiing in Andorra tomorrow,
 
Flying back to the Algarve in 2 hours.
Hope its warmer and brighter than Altrincham?

It's been a looooooong couple of days.
 
Spent a couple of nights on the aire in Gois, nice little town surrounded by hills.
Wife found a cracking dentist and got her long term toothache sorted in 1/2 an hour.
Going back for a second filling in 2 weeks.
She was fuming as had been to her own dentist with same 4 weeks ago who told here it was root canal work required and to put up with the pain until the nerve died - maybe 10 years.....
Gois dentist identified decay immediately in the 2 teeth that were bothering her.
NHS strikes out again.

Now catching up on 4 weeks laundry at Arganil municipal camp site in Sarzedo.
Less than 10 Euros per night with leccy.
Just cracked open a box of Vino tinto, soooo good for under a fiver.....
Cheers.

Free wifi here as well which can be accessed from all over the site and also available throughout Arganil at specific places.
Caretaker told us there is also a big fibre optic roll out by councils over the next 2 months.
