Four-on-tour

Lucca is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy – and I've seen many... Well, a few. Over the past half-century, I've been to Rome, Milan, Verona, Venice, Pisa, Floren

Day 51: Lourdes was an experience. Probably the most impressive of our entire trip. We can't say for sure because in the past 51 days we have discovered so many places,...

Day 50: This morning I set off alone to the shrines of Lourdes. The sun was too strong again to leave the dogs alone in the motorhome. Icke had already seen a lot yesterday, and...

Day 49: Lourdes is special... although that might not be the right word. It's the feeling that surrounds you in this city, wrapping you like a warm, fluffy coat. This is...

Day 48: Do you know the Col du Tourmalet ? It is the 2,115 meter high mountain pass in the Pyrenees, which is considered the queen stage of the Tour de France , the most...

Day 47: I have the feeling that the drive from Teruel to Huesca showed us the real Spain today, away from all the facades for the streams of tourists from all over the world. On...

Day 46: It was midday before we could set off for Teruel. Filling up the water, emptying the wastewater - the usual procedure took longer than usual today. Maybe that was...

45th day: The mood of farewell spreads. Stock up on supplies, water, laundry, tidy up, put away, clean. Take another real, long shower. And take a look at the wide sea. Tomorrow...

Day 44: We have seen a lot in the past few days, weeks and months. Today we wanted to try out what it's like to spend a day on the pitch. Do what many campers do here for a day:...

Day 43: The sun is shining, there is almost no wind. Today I want to take you on a walk through Altea. The city has 23,000 inhabitants and lies in a bay between Cape Mascarat in...

Day 42: The first rainy day of our trip is behind us. It has rained several times, but only briefly and only a few drops. It poured all afternoon today. But that was okay too....

Day 41: As expected, saying goodbye to El Campello wasn't easy. We stood at the car for a long time overlooking the sea and watched the glitter and color magic of the sun. But...

Day 40: According to the weather forecast, the sky should actually be cloudy all day today. But contrary to expectations, we had pure sunshine - the weather gods were probably...

Day 39: What better way to start a day than with a visit to the market? This question went through my mind this morning after the alarm clock rang me out of my dreams - by...

Day 38: There isn't much to complain about at our current location. We are off the beaten track, but not too secluded, we have a clear view of the sea and direct access to...

Day 37: Yesterday we arrived in El Campello, a small town on the coast not far from Alicante. We're standing in a small parking lot on a side street. A staircase that leads down...

Day 36: The night was stormy. Very stormy. We were standing in a large parking lot in Elche and had parked under palm trees because they were supposed to provide a little shade...

Day 35: Change was the order of the day today. We spent the last few days and weeks mostly in small villages and the surrounding nature. Since we had to spend the day in Elche...

Day 34: The morning didn't start well at all... We got up early - before 9 a.m. - in order to be in Orihuela in time because there is said to be "one of the most beautiful...

Day 33: After our neighbors left and right left this morning, there are three more motorhomes at the Los Yagues Motorhome Park . As already briefly described yesterday, the five...

Day 32: We prepared for the challenge at Colombino’s this morning. Do you remember? Everyone wanted to create a menu of the day. Down to the last bite. We were the first guests...

Day 31: It was a wonderfully quiet night on the pitch in Casas Nuevas . It's just a shame that the whole area is lit up with lanterns. Since we are just outside the village, we...

Day 30: Yesterday evening didn't start very promisingly. A few hooligans held a street race until shortly before midnight. It felt like the route led around our motorhome at a...

Day 29: Today is Sunday. We go to the church of Santa Eulalia. There will be a very special service there today. The Choro Sta sings. Cecilia South American songs. Icke was...

Day 28: We left Fortuna today - but part of us mentally got stuck at the Los Banos de la Fuente campsite. There are several reasons for this. One of them is that with Ricci and...

Day 27: Wilhelm turns 80 – that was the focus of the day today. This morning we set off from our Granda la Carmela Carmela campsite in time to get to Fortuna in time, as we had...

Day 26: The sea is far away, but this is still the most beautiful place we have stood here in Spain - at least for me. Icke can't quite decide. She still raves about Camping...

Day 25: First things first: Today we visited Ricci and my Morocco friends at the Los Banos de la Fuente campsite in Fortuna. Icke and I were so engrossed in our exchange that we...

Day 24: From our pitch we look directly at the mighty walls of the Embalse de Santomera , a large reservoir that supplies the entire Murcia region with water. The structure was...

Day 23: Each campsite or pitch has its own character. This also applies to Granda la Carmela , where we have been guests since yesterday. There are almost only Dutch people...
