Well, it was sunny until today but tomorrow & Thursday should be unbroken sunshine, the shorts, tee shirts & chairs have come out & the temperature is hovering around 20 degrees.

Have found a great place at Cullera 30km south of Valencia N39 09'12.3" W000 14'32.3", it's a vast open space behind the dunes. There are hundreds of European vans here & would be good for those of you who like campsites or believe in safety in numbers.

But it's not like the usual motorhome ghettos, there is so much space here one can park a long way away from other vans, the Germans & Dutch seem to band together, we are close to some English vans but only because we bumped into MykCamper, there is toilet emptying & a long walk for water.

We are off further south today.
 
We are in Puerto Gelvas (Seville) having driven through thick fog most of the way from Caceres, the sun is now out and feeling pleasantly warm
 
We'll be on the aire at Sanlucar tomorrow.
Sherry o'clock is at 5.30 GMT.

Great storm last night, In Santa Maria. Sunn and breezy now.
 
On my way at last - slow drive through France at the moment. Sun and temps sound good though:)
 
It's been a bit grey and cool here today in Bolnuevo but we've just enjoyed three days of warm, glorious sunshine so no complaints really.
Looks good again from Thursday onwards.

Left Cullera Tues., drove to Javea, fancied a blow-out nosh at Scallops.
Many vans parked near the old fairground, still OK but not for much longer, Taylor-Wimpey have acquired the site for 47 apartments.
Now parked up at Los Alcazares on the Mar Menor prior to driving further south.
There are 1000s of vans everywhere & I can see more widescale bans being enforced like at Torre del Mar and La Marina. If I had a nice villa & my sea view was obscured by a line of bloody great Concordes & Dethleffs, I would have the Hump.
 
View from van at Los Alcazares.

We're on the aire at Sanlucar, pretty crowded,weather cloudy.
The aire could be closed next weekend, for the Gipsy fair and carnival.

If they suddenly tip 80,or so, vans off , it'll create some ripples.

We leave tomorrow, back to our Portuguese cottage, via a cemetery at Huelva.

We hope to visit the grave of the " Man who never was". Going to load up with a few bottles of the local Manzanilla.

Am sipping one now. Mmm!
 
Now at Rincon de Victoria, just got the last place at a small area by the beach with the help of of an English lady who moved her van.
Bloody Germans, they wouldn't move, some of them have been here 3 months!.
Both the main MH areas here at Rincon are now closed.
Yesterday we were at Calahonda south of Granada, there were a few vans in the area behind the beach bar, it seems the police are tolerating it at the moment.
Off to Malaga today for LPG &laundry & then to Algeciras.
 
Found a great place to overnight, saw it from the motorway, it's at Mijas Costa south of Torremolinos.
Co-ords N36 30' 15.9" W4 41'01.7"
About 40 vans here, room for hundreds. Water available.
It's getting hotter, 24 degrees today.
Will go to Algeciras early next week to have a look at ferries for Maroq.

Well, wish you were here!
As you say it's a lovely area with lovely people. We walked to Bahia today (which I think is the place you mention) along the beach in glorious, warm sunshine. Stopped for a beer and walked back chatting to the young families on the beach. Bolnuevo ticks all the boxes for us at this time of year although I wouldn't want to be here July/August when it gets absolutely packed and very, very hot. At the moment there are about 800 folk on the campsite from all over Europe, during the summer months the visitors are almost exclusively Spanish families and there are about 2,500 people here!! The folk who work here on the site hate the summer months :)
