La Línea de la Concepción, 4 Avenida Príncipe de Asturias

@park4night : http://park4night.com/lieu/68706/Exclusive parking for motorhomes located inside the Alcaidesa Marina.
The price is € 12.50 24 hours. Very safe and quiet. Near the two towns of La Línea and Gibraltar. A ten minute walk. The beaches of both Poniente and Levante beach are also close (a little more withdrawn). The promenade is an area of ​​unforgettable walks and sunsets. Restaurants and cafes in the same port and promenade.
The climate of the port due to its situation is cooler than in other surrounding towns, which makes the stay very attractive.#prettyPhoto

Tarifa, lunch stop

Stop right on the beach, sandy rocky ground , muddy where wet. Lots of vans parked up cannot tell if her for day only. Overnight stop across the road.

@park4night : http://park4night.com/lieu/89147/Picnic side on the opposite side of the road towards the hotel. Lot of trees to hide behind and underneath. Prohibited during night, didnt have any problem though. Parking-maid asked us to leave at around 10am and pay the one Euro parking fee.
150m to the beach.

great spot to explore tarifa at night and coming back by taxi (8-10€)
5km walking distance via beach to Tarifa. Keep an eye on the tides as there is a river flowing across and it may gets unpassable at high tide.
Fresh water was not working.#prettyPhoto

CHARE La Janda

Decided to get Jacqui checked out properly. Checked took EHIC, passport and a form all done. Saw a nurse took down ailment and what happened, waited 5 minutes saw a Dr, booked x-ray, waited about 25 minutes, taken to x-ray, out 5 minutes, waited 10 minutes saw Dr. Not broken, recommended ibuprofen and some paracetamol if painful, keep moving it but relax no stress on it.

The hospital is virtually empty granted it is a Sunday but never seen a hospital like this. A few in the waiting room but eerily quiet.

Pinar San José Camping, Barbate

Campsite for the weekend, tightish sandy pitches to get on and lots of trees all quite high.

Nice and empty mid afternoon but filled up late afternoon with Spanish for the weekend.

Cooked sausages with the Gnocchi and salad. Used the briefcase and the Barbie plate, used cadac lid to cool cooking, Sadly briefcase does not have good flame control.

Vila Real de Santo António, 13 Avenida da República

@park4night : http://park4night.com/lieu/12146/Nice area shops and affordable restaurants, repair and maintenance here has focus.

Travels from Faro airport, stopped off at a number of parking places none really appealed so we headed into VRS to Antonio. Ok site would be lovely if sunny but overcast and a nut cold 18c.

Had an issue filling with gas but attendant was able to assist although nit happy about it.

Wandered into town and found a ironmongery shop that sold Cortina de Porte, so we bought 2 of them 33€ each.

Met the couple who we had seen at the airport stop, the have been full-time since 2002. No plans to stop, respect.
