La Cala de Mijas has got to be one of our favourite resorts on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain. Tucked between Marbella and Fuengirola, it enjoys a prime position along the Mediterranean Sea, making it a popular destination for both tourists and expats.

One of the most picturesque must-see places to visit when holidaying in Benidorm or the Alicante area has to be Guadalest.
It's a charming village with spectacular views over surrounding countryside, the lake and mountains.

Denia is an attractive beach town with lots of outdoor activities 1 hour 20 minutes from Alicante airport and 95 km from Valencia. It’s a good place to visit any time of the year as it stays open, unlike some other touristy towns. It has 20 km of long sandy beaches and rocky coves.

Seville, Spain

Seville’s historic centre is a maze of little streets, pretty squares and alleys The place is full of history, and a wonderful place to get lost in. It was perfect to wander around, eat some tapas and glass of wine and wander some more.

San Sebastian, Spain

Chris — Sat, 26 Nov 2016 19:32:25 +0000

We loved the old quarter’s narrow winding streets which are full of bars and restaurants. This part of town is called Parte Vieja, which is a paradise for tapas lovers. The bars are filled with the most unbelievable gourmet snacks you can imagine.

Peniscola, Spain

Chris — Tue, 31 May 2016 22:22:36 +0000

Peniscola is a really pretty town which has a fortified harbour and a castle perched on a large ridge overlooking the sea. It is quite an impressive sight and can be seen from miles away. The castle was built by the Knights Templar in the 1200’s.

Benidorm,

Chris — Tue, 31 May 2016 20:23:36 +0000

We were particularly looking forward to lunch at Levis Showboat as they do the most amazing salads. I had camembert wrapped in sliced beef and Ray had sticky chilli beef. They come in a crispy tortilla basket (so delicious, but so naughty).

Calpe, Spain

Chris — Sun, 29 May 2016 20:32:23 +0000

A beautiful natural landscape, breathtaking beaches, a marina and great food. If you are feeling energetic you can hike to the top of the rock and experience breathtaking views in all directions. From the top on a clear day, you can see the island of Formentera and the cape of Santa Pola.

Valencia

Chris — Mon, 09 May 2016 12:42:56 +0000

There were great off-road cycle lanes running alongside the beach in both directions one into Albufera National Park and the other direction straight into Valencia. There was also a bus stop right outside the entrance to the site which we used a couple of times to take the 20-minute journey into the Old Town and Arts & Sciences complex.

Marina d’Or Resort Spain

Chris — Tue, 12 Apr 2016 21:14:15 +0000

The campsite was quite small but very cosy and intimate. We were provided with a timetable of events and took advantage of the “Specials’ on the menu several days. The Chicken Paella was really good and recommend it to anyone staying there.

Llanes, Spain

Chris — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:46:20 +0000

Strewn alongside the far end of the pier like a set of children’s blocks are the ‘cubes of memory’, painted by Agustin Ibarrola. They are large reinforced cubes that act as a breakwater and protect the harbour from fierce winter storms. Some are painted with apples and citrus fruits which were the main agricultural and export products in the nineteenth century.

Bilbao, Northern Spain

Chris — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:44:14 +0000

One thing we wanted to do in Bilbao was to sample the Pintxos (Basque tapas) which are different flavoured food often on a slice of baguette. The bars in this area are well known for this and the locals spend a Sunday lunchtime doing a bar crawl sampling the various pintxos which are lined up along the bar. We were surprised at some of the bars were so popular and had queues outside.

Islares, Cantabria

Chris — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 15:10:49 +0000

Once we parked the van up on our pitch we walked outside the site and couldn’t believe our eyes. Straight in front of us was one of the most gorgeous bays. As we walked further around the bay we found another one – It is so beautiful in this area with plenty of green parklands, imposing cliffs and fine sandy beaches.

Tossa De Mar, Spain

Chris — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 14:31:52 +0000

What can I say about Tossa De Mar We love it and plan to come back and maybe stay in a hotel on the seafront. It's got everything you could want. A bit of history with the castle ruins, lots of lovely shops and plenty of nice little Spanish bars and restaurants

La Manga, Cartagena, Spain

Chris — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 20:33:59 +0000

La Manga With Easter coming up at the end of the week (well Spain’s bank holiday is slightly different to ours and starts Thursday but then Monday is a normal day). We were not too sure how busy the campsites and stopovers would be so thought it would be best to try and get booked […]

Snowy Northern Spain – Our first motorhome trip

Chris — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:35:29 +0000

As we got onto the autoroute towards Pamplona the sleet turned to snow. Within 10-20 minutes it was really heavy and laying and within no time it was a foot deep. This was very scary as HGV’s were jackknifing and getting stuck.
