Sunny Spain

Fantastic Mike. I want to go to Morrocco in the van but not by myself! Think I'll look for a travel buddy! Enjoy 😊

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.

Great post and responses.

I am thinking of putting together a list of Spanish POIs. If anyone felt inclined to send me, by PM, coordinates, addresses and a brief description of any they have used I would be very much obliged please?

Hopefully going towards end of May, but nothing set in concrete yet. I've only got two and half weeks so probably not much use though.

We are 7days into sunny Morocco at Essaouira north of Agadir, a clear sunny day, temp in mid 20s.
We have had a fantastic drive down & realise I've not given myself enough time, I've only got a month on my green card & need at least 3.
Next year, maybe.[/QUOT

Yikes, we better meet up soon in that case, we always get a 3 month green card from Comfort, is you ferry an open ticket? Will be in Tafroute near to the end of the week Mike, off to Icht 20km from the Algerian border then up to Tafroute along the 107, looks an interesting drive
See you both soon

Ferry on open ticket, green card one month, I suppose it could be extended online, but then I'll have get it printed out somehow, but the authorities have the details of my 30 day document. Anyone any ideas on this?

In sunny Aguilas parked on the beach, what more could we ask for? Carnival this week, so off to enjoy Mardi Gras tonight.

I would imagine any motor ins company could supply you with ins for an extra month or so, at Tangier med there were ins kiosks selling it think it was 150€ a month? All you need is 3rd party. That's all the green card is, There must be a few places in Agadir that could do it,
Are you heading to Tafroute Mike? If so prob best to take the R104 from Tiznit the 105 is undergoing refurb there is still a big detour,

Dead jealous....going to stop reading this thread......we'd be over there had it not been for family commitments this winter.

Looks like your avatar is at Stonehenge...hope you got your boiler sorted (you must've done) after that sub-zero w/e...we were in the Hymer on opposite side of track.

If all else fails.......I've used this Maroc insurer several times, last occasion 2009. This was their Agadir agency address (H.Q. Casablanca) and may well still be. Might be an idea to park near the commercial centre and get a taxi.

Assurances Zouri
ES -SAADA

AGADIR
Whatever you do try not hit an American tourist. The Maroc insurer may not have the resources to pay out for a broken toenail.
 
i am

at the moment carol i am at punta prima near orihuela costa.
 
Not far south of Alicante I think Carol. We'll definitely get down that far. Depends how many stops we make. Not many before we see the sun I hope lol

Over the last couple of weeks we have met five ladies travelling alone, last night we met a Swiss woman while wild camping in the centre of Agadir. As someone said on this forum, Morrocan men treat ladies with respect. The locals are polite & helpful & we feel more secure here than in Spain.
 
That's interesting Mike. I'd need a lot more confidence to do Morrocco alone though. Were they young things or WOACA? Hope you can work that out as I don't like saying it! ��
