Twitchers paradise, lots of cycle tracks and viewing platforms.
Restaurant shut again, maybe next time.
Free stop although services 3€, 08:30 to 09:30 when restaurant closed. so emptied toilet and headed for the beach.
Would stop again and again good spot.
Day 7, Vinya Els Vilars, Arbec
Left the free aire, full and empty. The EHU went off at some point in the evening and did not come back on disappointing.
We decided to head off via the Simpler tunnel having googled D934 France to check the suggested route, 2nd result was dangerousroads.org apparently it is a famous overhang road and not for the faint hearted so we have given it a miss.
Somport tunnel is a great route easy and fast with little hassle Spanish side is much better than French.
We stopped for a coffee and discovered the temp had risen to 22c. Filled with some petrol and decided to head for the next Aire. This was a carpark with some facilities outside a police station, but was in a poor state of repair and a bit too close to a main road.
Onto the next, which was a free vineyard near Arbrec, Vinya Els Vilars, free everything, toilet, wash basins etc…
And they sell wine not cheap wine so 2 red, 1 white and and oil 59€.
Lovely tea, cooked and eaten outside whilst our bread cooked inside.
Day 6, Rebenacq
59 today ☹️, bit flat and a long drive ahead. Jacqui used the inverter to do her hair, which worked well so that was nice. Decided to crack on had tea and left. We emptied but decided not to fill up saving to 2€.
Stopped around midday for coffee and a cheese toasty using the grill.
Looked for petrol finding it eventually, also did a shop for a few fresh bits. Temperature is rising and hit 20c.
We drove round Mont de Marsan and the onto Pau and on through, did consider the cave at Gan but couldn’t find it. Instead headed to Aire at Rebenacq, a small village in the D934 which if you are very brave will take you to Spain.
Nice Bastide built in 1347, with a bar and a pizza van, coffee and beer in one ordered 2 pizzas at the other. One pizza had potatoes ??, actually not bad.
Slept very well after watching Liverpool beat Arsenal and partaking of the 30 year old whisky I bought myself for my birthday.
Site has ehu, water waste etc.. although ehu has gone off????
