Tight Spaces Near the Spanish Border

This was the access to our campsite. Molly being bigger than the caravan ahead only just made it! Now on our way across the mountains to the Spanish north coast.

Vineyards and Towering Granite Mountains

The beautiful Douro Valley with temperatures up to 105F !

Serra da Estrela, 6,500ft above sea level in central Portugal

Spent a day touring the national park of the Serra da Estrela mountain region. Magnificent beauty around every bend. Molly got to the very top and the views were breathtaking.

Now in a wonderfully green valley with panoramic views of wooded hills. The temperature a perfect 80F and Wimbledon quietly on in the background courtesy of the BBC satellite service.

Sunshine and Sand Dunes

Figueira da Foz

Sartorial elegance on a windswept beach.

Sao Pedro de Moel

One of the loveliest places we have seen. Gorgeous little village on the rugged Atlantic coast.

Approach to Lisbon

The drive into Lisbon over the suspension bridge was breathtaking, worth every penny of the toll!

Foz do Arelho

Gadgets in place, food on the bbq, weather warm, sky blue ...all systems go!

Lagoon on the Costa de Prata

Cycled 1km down to the village and enjoyed a quiet moment on the beach facing a very sheltered lagoon. Sea probably the same temperature as Salcombe at it’s warmest. Air humid and warm (23 C).

Costa da Carapica Nr Lisbon

Villa Nova de Milfontes

Following the Portugese coast north

Lagos in Portugal

Now we are in Portugal we can resume our leisurely pace as we head along the coast. Travelling as we are has enabled us to feel the essence of each country and enjoy the small towns and villages we are passing through.

Caseres and on to Seville

We shot south through Spain to avoid bad weather in the north. Caseres was a one night stop as the site was a little bare. Then on to Seville where we stopped for three nights in a very pleasant campsite with a lovely private pool area. Temperatures now up to 30 deg C, so the plentiful shade was most welcome.

Route Update

Castrojeriz, Nr Burgos, central northern Spain

Stayed one night on this Spanish campsite with very small pitches between trees. Molly a bit of a squeeze to get in! Lovely old town. Then on further south to catch sunnier weather.
