Spring 2025 - back to Spain to the RV
Travelogue
We arrive at the airport in Alicante and are picked up and taken to our motorhome.
Now it's time to go shopping, fill up with water and then head to a campsite that has been reserved for us by a fellow camper.

We're going to Cartagena today.
We're located in Barriada San Cristobal, north of Cartagena, on a simple campsite. Water and electricity are available, and there are sanitary containers for men and women (2 showers, 2 toilets each).
There is also a dishwashing area, but we won't be using it.
The surroundings are rather rural and also a bit outside the suburbs of Cartagena.
There is a supermarket within walking distance and a gas station is also nearby.
The site was requested in advance by phone by camper friends we met here and then reserved.
12€/night without electricity, including Wi-Fi.
On the second day, we visit the weekly market, and in the evening, we enjoy a delicious meal at an Indian restaurant (recommended by Guido, the SP operator). Everything is within easy walking distance.

Lunch break very close to the Basilica of Nuestra Madre de Palmar Coronada. Unfortunately, it's closed.

We stay at the La Laguna campsite for two nights. It costs €15 per night without electricity, but it includes hot showers, a dishwashing area with hot water, and a washing machine (€3) and dryer (€3).
We'll use both right away.
Unfortunately the weather is very mixed, it rains all day on the second day.

Here we meet Britta and Peter and enjoy a wonderful day. Starting tomorrow, heavy rain and storms are expected on the Atlantic.
We will leave the Atlantic again tomorrow.

Our journey here was without heavy rain (a drizzle, but nothing more). Fortunately, there was little wind.
For today, we're in Motril, across from the Playa Granada campsite. There are even more campers in the parking lot.
It's important that we park the camper within the markings, don't extend any chocks or jack stands (we didn't even have them 😂), and don't extend the step, as other campers have told us. Of course, no chairs or tables should be put out either.
Otherwise, some have been here for weeks.
We enjoy the late afternoon sun with a coffee on the promenade.
The old parking lot (we had parked there before) has a height limit. The beach has been dug out and isn't very nice.

So we'll stay here. The rain is supposed to come out tomorrow, but today it's just cloudy, with hardly any rain, and if it rains, it'll only be a little in the evening. It's bearable.
The site is owned by CCP and has everything we need. Two nights are allowed here, for just €1 per night, including electricity. Amazing.
The square isn't exactly beautiful, but it's a great place to walk into town and take a look around. We've been here before.
Update: the weather forecast for tomorrow afternoon is not very good, so we're moving on.

This morning we set off in perfect weather, albeit cool temperatures, with sunshine. Our destination is the Mar Menor, where there's supposed to be little rain in the near future. We really don't need any more of it right now.
So we are standing on the SP we know, on the Mar Menor, in San Javier.
The sun continues to shine with plenty of wind. The weather forecast for Spain is the main topic of conversation, as it has rained here, or rather inland, as much as it normally does in a year.
On our journey we saw many flooded fields.
We can stay for 1 week, let's see how we will do it.
The site has expanded a bit, and we're in the newer section. The sites are without electricity, but they're very spacious. Another restroom building will be built soon.
Today, more camper friends (Jürgen and Rosi, Britta and Peter) arrived here, all of them having fled the rainy area or were looking for a campsite.

We're staying here for a week and hope to get a spot up at the SP Orange Grove.
The campsite is full and we spend the first night in the waiting area, but something should be available the next day.
Britta and Peter are coming too, so we'll have a lovely week together here.

Together we moved to the SP.
14€/night without electricity and everything is provided, including sanitary facilities.
We want to rent a car in Benidorm for 4 days (100€) and show Britta and Peter our old second home.
On the list is: 1x go to the mountains for dinner, 2. to Moraira, 3. Villa Jojosa and Amodorio reservoir, 4. Agar de Fonte and Polop waterfalls.
Let's see if we can achieve everything.
Benidorm has to be included, of course, as we pick up the car here, we take the bus and walk to the viewing platform.
It's so crowded in Benidorm, not really our thing, luckily the four of us are pretty much on the same page.

Today we're driving to Javea and parked in the parking lot behind a small supermarket. There are only trash cans.
I'm going for a hike to Cap Mari at noon
Very nice hike, with lots of sun.

Parking space of the municipality of Bellus for 3€/night
We cycle to Cova Negra and the arcades.
The reservoir is huge, the village very tranquil and almost quiet.
Our plan for the next few days is definitely to go to the fortress and the cathedral in Xativa.

We drive to Xativa to see the fortress and the cathedral.
The fortress costs €6 per person and is open all day. The four of us take a taxi (€12) up to the top.
The view is also very worth seeing
The cathedral was only open in the morning, so we didn't go there. We went to eat at Plaça Mercat.
We park on a public 🅿️
In the afternoon we parked in the parking lot 🅿️ at the stadium, where it was tolerated (information from the tourist office) to park overnight.
There is a large shopping center opposite, and Lidl and Mercadona are not far away.

ACSI - campsite that is in the middle of renovations but is still open.
We get a place, 17€/night including everything including electricity, which we just need right now due to lack of sun
From the square we walk to Moncofa one day and to Xixles beach the next day.

The parking space in Peñiscola is basic and only costs €10.50. There's a water and electricity supply, a toilet, and a shower in the building. But we didn't use any of them.
We walk into the old town in the afternoon

Fairly new parking space, 72-hour parking permit. Water and sewage disposal, garbage disposal, and all water must be paid for, and can be paid for by card or digitally.
16 concrete pitches, parceled in pairs, separated by greenery.
In the village you can buy good honey as well as oil in an old oil mill.
There are also bars, restaurants, and shops. All small, cramped, but nice.
There was a festival here last weekend and a large tent was being dismantled

Free parking with water and electricity in the Ebro Delta.
We take a walk to the Ebro River, which is very, very crowded this year. We've never seen it like this before.
Afterwards there's something to eat.

Municipal RV parking, nothing special but allowed for 48 hours.
We'll continue tomorrow. Maybe we can get a spot in Palamos; we always like it there.

So, after the spots in Spain were all full (Easter is always full), we continued on. We filled up at a reasonable price in Empuriabrava before continuing on to France.
We cross the border on the motorway (the 3€ toll is bearable) then we take the D900, always following the green signs to Perpignan.
In Perpignan, we decided to find a campsite. After a bit of searching for the right exit (my head is useless today), we drove to the coast to Saint Marie. There's a motorhome park with over 120 pitches.
At the machine, you must enter your license plate number and how long you intend to stay. It costs €7.50 for 24 hours, €5 for electricity, and €2.50 for a shower, so there's something for everyone. Those who only want water and electricity pay €4 per hour.
Aldi is right next door. The lot has three large parking areas: one right next to the roundabout (hmm, I wonder who would park there), a second with electricity, and a third without electricity, although there are also spaces with charging stations.
2 V+E stations and 1 shower house (4 showers and 4 toilets) which is opened via code.
There is also some green space with seating and there is a boules court for the boules players.
What a huge place, it's busy but not full. Aldi is open despite it being Good Friday.
I'm not doing anything else today except going to bed early, hoping that I'll feel better tomorrow.

We've been here before, and the weather was very good. That's why we're not going to the Pont de Gard, but just to the village and La Gardon.

Parking lot at the bird park; the back spaces are used by many RVs. The park closes at 6:00 PM, and the front parking spaces are available after that. However, there's nothing there except trash disposal. So, it was perfect for us for one night.

Communal parking lot with a V+E, where fresh water, electricity and the disposal of black water must be paid for, only the grey water can be disposed of free of charge.
However, the drain here is blocked and the grey water is not draining away.
For us, it's just a place to pass through/stay overnight. It's a very quiet little town with a church square and restaurants (which are closed?). Since today is Easter Monday, I'm hoping the bakery, which is right across the parking lot, will open tomorrow.
Hiking trails also start from here.
I also take a tour of the church and the town.

Unfortunately the weather is very mixed, it rains all day on the second day.
Here we meet Britta and Peter and enjoy a wonderful day. Starting tomorrow, heavy rain and storms are expected on the Atlantic.
We will leave the Atlantic again tomorrow.

Our journey here was without heavy rain (a drizzle, but nothing more). Fortunately, there was little wind.
For today, we're in Motril, across from the Playa Granada campsite. There are even more campers in the parking lot.
It's important that we park the camper within the markings, don't extend any chocks or jack stands (we didn't even have them 😂), and don't extend the step, as other campers have told us. Of course, no chairs or tables should be put out either.
Otherwise, some have been here for weeks.
We enjoy the late afternoon sun with a coffee on the promenade.
The old parking lot (we had parked there before) has a height limit. The beach has been dug out and isn't very nice.

So we'll stay here. The rain is supposed to come out tomorrow, but today it's just cloudy, with hardly any rain, and if it rains, it'll only be a little in the evening. It's bearable.
The site is owned by CCP and has everything we need. Two nights are allowed here, for just €1 per night, including electricity. Amazing.
The square isn't exactly beautiful, but it's a great place to walk into town and take a look around. We've been here before.
Update: the weather forecast for tomorrow afternoon is not very good, so we're moving on.

This morning we set off in perfect weather, albeit cool temperatures, with sunshine. Our destination is the Mar Menor, where there's supposed to be little rain in the near future. We really don't need any more of it right now.
So we are standing on the SP we know, on the Mar Menor, in San Javier.
The sun continues to shine with plenty of wind. The weather forecast for Spain is the main topic of conversation, as it has rained here, or rather inland, as much as it normally does in a year.
On our journey we saw many flooded fields.
We can stay for 1 week, let's see how we will do it.
The site has expanded a bit, and we're in the newer section. The sites are without electricity, but they're very spacious. Another restroom building will be built soon.
Today, more camper friends (Jürgen and Rosi, Britta and Peter) arrived here, all of them having fled the rainy area or were looking for a campsite.

We're staying here for a week and hope to get a spot up at the SP Orange Grove.
The campsite is full and we spend the first night in the waiting area, but something should be available the next day.
Britta and Peter are coming too, so we'll have a lovely week together here.

Together we moved to the SP.
14€/night without electricity and everything is provided, including sanitary facilities.
We want to rent a car in Benidorm for 4 days (100€) and show Britta and Peter our old second home.
On the list is: 1x go to the mountains for dinner, 2. to Moraira, 3. Villa Jojosa and Amodorio reservoir, 4. Agar de Fonte and Polop waterfalls.
Let's see if we can achieve everything.
Benidorm has to be included, of course, as we pick up the car here, we take the bus and walk to the viewing platform.
It's so crowded in Benidorm, not really our thing, luckily the four of us are pretty much on the same page.

Today we're driving to Javea and parked in the parking lot behind a small supermarket. There are only trash cans.
I'm going for a hike to Cap Mari at noon
Very nice hike, with lots of sun.

Parking space of the municipality of Bellus for 3€/night
We cycle to Cova Negra and the arcades.
The reservoir is huge, the village very tranquil and almost quiet.
Our plan for the next few days is definitely to go to the fortress and the cathedral in Xativa.

We drive to Xativa to see the fortress and the cathedral.
The fortress costs €6 per person and is open all day. The four of us take a taxi (€12) up to the top.
The view is also very worth seeing
The cathedral was only open in the morning, so we didn't go there. We went to eat at Plaça Mercat.
We park on a public 🅿️
In the afternoon we parked in the parking lot 🅿️ at the stadium, where it was tolerated (information from the tourist office) to park overnight.
There is a large shopping center opposite, and Lidl and Mercadona are not far away.

Parking space at a shopping center. Parking is permitted here for 72 hours and is also monitored by the local police.
We walk to Port Saplaya; we like the small town.

ACSI - campsite that is in the middle of renovations but is still open.
We get a place, 17€/night including everything including electricity, which we just need right now due to lack of sun
From the square we walk to Moncofa one day and to Xixles beach the next day.

The parking space in Peñiscola is basic and only costs €10.50. There's a water and electricity supply, a toilet, and a shower in the building. But we didn't use any of them.
We walk into the old town in the afternoon

Fairly new parking space, 72-hour parking permit. Water and sewage disposal, garbage disposal, and all water must be paid for, and can be paid for by card or digitally.
16 concrete pitches, parceled in pairs, separated by greenery.
In the village you can buy good honey as well as oil in an old oil mill.
There are also bars, restaurants, and shops. All small, cramped, but nice.
There was a festival here last weekend and a large tent was being dismantled

Free parking with water and electricity in the Ebro Delta.
We take a walk to the Ebro River, which is very, very crowded this year. We've never seen it like this before.
Afterwards there's something to eat.

Municipal RV parking, nothing special but allowed for 48 hours.
We'll continue tomorrow. Maybe we can get a spot in Palamos; we always like it there.

So, after the spots in Spain were all full (Easter is always full), we continued on. We filled up at a reasonable price in Empuriabrava before continuing on to France.
We cross the border on the motorway (the 3€ toll is bearable) then we take the D900, always following the green signs to Perpignan.
In Perpignan, we decided to find a campsite. After a bit of searching for the right exit (my head is useless today), we drove to the coast to Saint Marie. There's a motorhome park with over 120 pitches.
At the machine, you must enter your license plate number and how long you intend to stay. It costs €7.50 for 24 hours, €5 for electricity, and €2.50 for a shower, so there's something for everyone. Those who only want water and electricity pay €4 per hour.
Aldi is right next door. The lot has three large parking areas: one right next to the roundabout (hmm, I wonder who would park there), a second with electricity, and a third without electricity, although there are also spaces with charging stations.
2 V+E stations and 1 shower house (4 showers and 4 toilets) which is opened via code.
There is also some green space with seating and there is a boules court for the boules players.
What a huge place, it's busy but not full. Aldi is open despite it being Good Friday.
I'm not doing anything else today except going to bed early, hoping that I'll feel better tomorrow.

We've been here before, and the weather was very good. That's why we're not going to the Pont de Gard, but just to the village and La Gardon.

Parking lot at the bird park; the back spaces are used by many RVs. The park closes at 6:00 PM, and the front parking spaces are available after that. However, there's nothing there except trash disposal. So, it was perfect for us for one night.

Communal parking lot with a V+E, where fresh water, electricity and the disposal of black water must be paid for, only the grey water can be disposed of free of charge.
However, the drain here is blocked and the grey water is not draining away.
For us, it's just a place to pass through/stay overnight. It's a very quiet little town with a church square and restaurants (which are closed?). Since today is Easter Monday, I'm hoping the bakery, which is right across the parking lot, will open tomorrow.
Hiking trails also start from here.
I also take a tour of the church and the town.
