Two months to go...

 ... and we will be deep into France and on our way to Spain. After the birthday celebrations (let's hope the French do zero alcohol beer and wine!) we will be setting off for the first campsite.

I know that "real" vanlifers would be looking for a wild camping site or the very least a bit of scrubland to park up for the night.  We won't be doing that at all. 

Why not?  

Because it's our holiday that's why not!

I have nothing against the occasional wild camp. We do it at Motor Caravanners Club Rallies and at some festivals. But when we are on holiday I like to be able to switch the kettle on and not rely on gas (LPG!) or the Bluetti AC70. Not all the time anyway.

So we have chosen, or rather I have chosen! When I say we it's usually me that does the planning... We have chosen Camping La Gaviota near Roses not that far into Spain in the Girona province.  It's not the cheapest at around €33 a night, but it's well placed for walks and is dog friendly. 

We saw it on one of the vloggers videos, The Slaws Adventures, who we follow on YouTube. The beach is dog friendly and so Reggie can have a walk and a paddle. I have booked three nights there. Hopefully it will live up to their glowing recommendation!

After that, two nights at Camping Alegría del Mar, near Benicarlo. We have stayed here before, In December 2022,  for a couple of nights after we had stayed at the timeshare in Alcossebre. It's quiet and has the beach through the back door and across a lane. This time it will be before the timeshare!!!

Back in December 2022

And then to the timeshare at Kione Playa Romana in Alcossebre.
