I've gotten into a few tight corners over the years but the one I laugh most about :- One Easter about 30 years ago I went off for 6 nights with my wife, a 2 year old and 11 year old daughter. I had just gotten out of my sick bed after a bad bout of flue and wasn't really fit. We were heading for a CL attached to a…
This has been many years a go now, but a true story. I can't remember the exact date, but I've guessed at it, I'm afraid. One year we decided to go to a site called Creampots, near Broad Haven in Pembrokeshire. I think it was the Spring Bank Holiday Half Term. We had a good journey down, we were almost there - in fact just…
On Easter Saturday we caught the bus from our campsite gate, here at Los Madriles , to Cartagena. The return fare for the two of us was just 8.40€ and the trip took 40 minutes or so. We first visited Cartagena in 2005, and visited all the Roman ruins, the Castle, the Air-raid shelters and had a boat trip around the bay.…
We have just visited this Caravan Club Affiliated Site for approx the 5th year only to find that the site has gone downhill very rapidly with not only a building site to look at over the Easter Break but the attitude of the Wardens and Owner were very poor to say the least. The Adult's only area Shower block is being…
The day didn't start well! We set off from Torre del Sol to our next stop, which was an estimated hour and a half long drive - it took slightly longer due the sat nav not recognising the new roads that had been built in the area and getting very confused. We arrived mid afternoon to find that the campsite was shut. They…
In England, Father’s day is generally celebrated quite tamely – dad’s given breakfast in bed, has control of the TV remote for the day, is maybe taken out for a meal. It is a day to say thanks to our fathers for all they have done and give them what they would like for a whole 24 hours. In Spain though, they celebrate it a…
http://wannabepikey.blogspot.co.uk/ It seems like an awfully long time since we hauled back from Exmoor last October, not that the time in between has been without little breaks. We've been away on short breaks to Chester, London and the Midlands, but while a Travelodge serves a purpose they get nowhere close to being away…
Caravan or motorhome? this is the biggest question. Since our big trip to croatia in 2013 we have been considering changing from a van to a motorhome. We decided that if we did a three month trip again it would be easier with a motorhome. So after a lot of searching we could not find a motorhome to suite our needs. So in…
The day after we arrived at Ribamar was a bank holiday therefore very little was open but the site manager at Ribamar recommended we go to a nearby village where they were celebrating St Joseph's Day (Spanish Father's Day). The village was called Benlloch and was about a 20 minute drive away. Here's what Ella had to say…
Today we met the Ribamar site manager, Domingo. We had already been made to feel welcome upon our early arrival at the site but Domingo was extremely friendly and helpful. He mingled with his staff and anyone staying on the site with Spanish ease, chatting Spanish and broken English. He loves to please and proved to be of…
