Anyone in the Valencia- Murcia area? We’re heading that way from France in a week or so. Wondering whether the recent rains have caused much disruption?

We've moved up the road from Simancas to Palencia, a much nicer Aire with huge hard surface pitches in the Council HQ Car Park (no point sending photos to Highland Council though ...). 23 marked pitches that would easily accommodate M/home and awning, so no danger of the van next door dunking their biscuits in your tea ... . Unfortunately, we've brought the rain with us, but we do have a change of scenery and a fresh supply of chocolate biscuits ...

Hi all,

Just booked ferry from Plymouth to Santander for next month for about 5 weeks.

We are thinking of heading along the north coast of Spain then heading south into
Portugal. We have been along the Algarve, so will not be going that far.

Any information or ideas where to go and stop would be most appreciative , and
thank you in advance. Ted

We are sitting here in Spain, just below Pamplona , and it's raining 🌧, not too heavy just see how long it lasts

Been a great day here in Silves today, wall to wall sunshine, but tomorrow is not looking good

Not seen a lot of sun for almost a week Dave. Wet and overcast here in Benidorm.
Warmest day of the year so far in the UK. Fat lot of good that is. Happy for those at home

If it’s any consolation Dave, the pleasant weather here is due to end next week, and it will start getting colder again.

You should have taken more time travelling through France; Meteo forecast shows sunshine tomorrow for just about the entire country ...

We are in Benidorm still and it's been overcast here since Saturday and gusty wind, but not seen much in the way of rain, just the odd shower and no rain at all today.

To be fair. We’ve had rain, either heavy or only showers everyday this week. But we are well above Benidorm, in the hills around Callosa d’Sarria

Still trying unsuccessfully to outrun the rain, had a dryish afternoon at Costa Nova and were able to have a good walk round the striped houses and sample a few beers.


Woke to more rain headed north arriving at Pontevedra in time for lunch and an afternoon of sightseeing, staying here for a couple of nights today is going to be mostly dry

Getting solar at last. . 25 amps from 700 solar
Now by my reckoning, that’s about 25amps more than I’ve had for the last few days. Happy (ish)) bunny

Peniche, in the Oeste region of Portugal. Nice little free grassy motorhome area by the river in the middle of the old city (P4N).
Loved it here for a couple of nights. A surprising and interesting old city and port to meander. A wonderful hotchpotch of old and new. Quite a bit of lovely sunshine.
Moved on today (Friday) to Nazaré.
