After a couple of lovely days catching up with my sister Christine and her hubby Terry we set off to continue our journey south to Spain. We aim to cover about 300 to 350km in a day and that took us to Biarritz in the far South West of France. We use an app on the phone to find somewhere to stop -Park4night, it's brilliant for finding places we couldn't possibly find ourselves and our stopover in Biarritz was no exception- a quiet car park by a lake.
Perfect! All we need is an out of the way place to park, but a tap and a wastebin are a bonus, we are completely self sufficient as we have solar panels for our power and gas for cooking, heating and hot water.
After a peaceful night disturbed only by the quacking ducks we continued on our way and after a false start (we forgot to check the planned route on the Sat Nav and it was taking us across the mountains- not the way we wanted to go!) soon we were crossing into Spain. A bit too soon to unpack the bikini though as we drove past the snow covered hills!
Our next stop (thanks to Park4night again) was a cultural site a few miles SE of Zaragoza called La Alfranca where we were able to fill up with water for our showers, it was another peaceful stopover.
Another day on the road travelling down the A23 (not the London to Brighton A23!) from Zaragoza to the coast and we arrive at one of our favourite haunts - the Aire at Castellon in the shadow of the planetarium and right on the beach. It might not be hot but it is December and it's snowing in the U.K!
