Snowbirds 2025

Tell us all about it, we’ll be there in a few weeks.

It was fascinating. Lovely town, we parked on the aire. We couldn’t get the van up to the car park nearest the barrio de Cuevas we were a bit too long, 7.5m, for the tight turns and narrow streets. You’ll see some cave houses on the way into the town

Thanks Gordon.They have confirmed she has broken her humerus bone, so she has to keep it in a sling and go back to the hospital in 10 days to see if it is healing.

So sorry to hear this, give her a gentle hug from us

Like me. You know how to treat a lady. I let Nic do the shopping. On her own!
I did carry it in for her Well, from the front door to the kitchen. The only footwear I had on were my slippers.
A man must some dignity

Jeff, was the black waste disposal working? When we were there in January 2024, it was blocked solid, and some genius had tried to clear it with a tree branch that broke and made the blockage worse ...

Moved to another Vineyard Aire at Saint Sadurni D'Anoia, about 12 miles north west of Vilafranca del Penedes. We were due to move anyway, but the two caravans that arrived a couple of days ago were joined by the Beverly Hillbillies M/home and a couple of cars; n number of feral offspring playing at the black waste facility, flooding the area, then the generators started as darkness fell, and continued sans interruption until way past 01:00; almost loud enough to drown out the shouted 'conversations'. They, and a couple of others who appear to be full timers are ruining a lovely Aire in a beautiful town ...

We were second M/home to leave just before 08:00
