Autumn Vacation 2025!

With the dates of the French "event" firmly in the diary and the timeshare booked, I am left with 6 nights before we can check in in Alcossebre. So,I started to check a few sites that I had seen on some of the vloggers we follow.

"The Slaws Adventures" went to a campsite in Northern Spain called Càmping La Gaviota Costa Brava. It looks like a good site and is close to a dog friendly beach. The reviews on Google maps look promising. 

I have enquired by email about staying there three nights so that after a drive through France we can have a few days with no worries. A dog friendly beach means that Reggie can have a play too. It's quite expensive at about £33 a night. I know some van lifers will cringe at that sort of cost.

It leaves one night between the "event" and La Gaviota.  Before we cross into Spain there are quite a few Camping-Car Park aires en route. So we won't be left in a lay-by somewhere. I also have the France Passion booklet and there may be options at one of those sites and maybe even on the way down through France.

That leaves two nights to look for somewhere between La Gaviota and Alcossebre.  There's plenty of time to fill in those blanks!
