Spain and Portugal -summary

6May 2017
We have left Spain and entered France. We still have great trouble finding anywhere to upload the blog, with pictures. This is compounded by the fact that we have been able to wild camp almost every night in these two countries. That is fabulous for us with 5star camping spots almost every night! But it means less opportunities for wifi.

We have found that the national parks have lots of 4WD tracks -perfect for us to find a place with a view and out of everyone's way. A couple of nights ago we were spotted by a park ranger who came along and wanted to take a photo of our vehicle. He initially said we couldn't camp, but when he heard that we had a toilet, rubbish bins and we wouldn't light a fire he was happy. No tents he said. OK - that was really fine with us.

But that night there was a very strong wind, rocking the vehicle and very noisy. In the end we pulled the top down and then we were fine.

Last night, our last night in Spain, we were discussing how pleasant the camping had been. We were in a parking area at a view point when a young guy (with his girlfriend) lined us up from the other side of the parking area,revved his car, and headed rapidly for us, swerving sharply at the last moment spraying our vehicle with gravel. That spoiled our memory of Spain.

Otherwise, we found fabulous mountain national parks in both Spain and Portugal. We really enjoyed these and spent much more time there than in the cities. The coastlines were also beautiful, rugged, and windy. Some beaches were quite stunning, with small private looking coves as well as wide long sweating sandy beaches.

We tried tapas (including vegan), paella vegetarians, Spanish pastries, and we saw flamenco dancing and guitar. We drank wine in the squares in the sun.

Well ow we are heading quite rapidly for the UK. The time has gone very quickly this time. We will spend a month in UK before heading home again.
