Travelogues Spain

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 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 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 22: We were at the Campo de Guardamar market at 10 a.m. today. We found a parking space without any problems and plunged into the hustle and bustle. That took exactly five...

Day 20: Do you know Mister Dynamite? No, that's not my nickname. That is the code name of Bob Urban, a secret agent for the Federal Intelligence Service. He was my childhood...

Day 19: Yesterday I promised to tell you about Edith, Patje and Hermann. We met the three of them at the weekly market in Guardamar, which was a must for us - I think you know...

Day 12: It wasn't easy for us to leave the Malvarrosa de Corinto campsite. We met a lot of nice people in the five days we were there. Some of them wanted to leave today, but...

Day 11: Our last day at the Marvarrosa de Corinto campsite. Last night we had dinner with Gaby and Ecki in the associated restaurant. We were the first guests, but over the...

Day 8: That starts well: after getting up I find a note in front of our door. The nice neighbor from the Netherlands wishes us a good trip and thanks us for the help with the...

Today I was able to sleep in because my bus to Oviedo doesn't arrive until 9 a.m. and I chose my accommodation near the bus station. After a small breakfast I set off around...

This morning I had to get out early because the bus left at 6:15. I would have preferred a little later, but the next one wouldn't have left until the afternoon. But I was able...

I was woken up at 5am by a pilgrim getting ready. I stayed there for a while, but couldn't get back to sleep, so I packed my things and went over to the kitchen. I checked the...

Today I could have slept a little longer, but since rain is forecast for the afternoon and today's stage is a little longer, I got up at 6:15 and then set off at half past...

I explored the city a little. And I have to say, even though there's a lot going on now (which is probably the weekend too), I really like it here. I visited a church, a park...

Now I set off for the village of Tardajos, eleven kilometers away. The path, like the last few days in general, was relatively flat, which made walking very pleasant and quick....

10/01/2023 - 10/13/2023 MARKUS: How wonderful to be at Tanja's side again for a short time after a six long week break, to have the backpack on her back and to be able to...

The night was short...At some point there was a loud party in the neighborhood until the early hours of the morning. I wake up very quickly, but I usually fall asleep straight...

Awakened in the morning by the neighing and mooing of the hungry neighboring animals, I went for a morning walk through the town. The Mirador offered a great view of the village...

A city.

We spontaneously abandoned the original plan to continue driving south along the coast and decided to take a detour to Ribeira Sacra, known for its impressive lush wine...

Wednesday, 16.8.2023, Day 30We started early, shortly after 8:00 a.m., and then stopped at a cafeteria next to the gas station with the catchy name La Gasolinera 🤪 to have...

Besides the snoring of the late neighbor, we were awakened by the opening of his sliding door early in the morning. Once outside, he peed in front of the car and then went back...

Even when waking up it was drizzling and we fled towards Picos de Europa after checking the weather app. I was really looking forward to finally go to these mountains. After a...

Already in the evening many Spaniards walked past, in the morning the same picture. Some talking softly, others loudly (like the Spaniards do), the next with his portable radio....

It's been a while since our last post. What have we experienced during this time?! We continued driving along the French coast and originally planned to stay overnight in...

The Basque Country... autonomous and independent
