Route description for Corsica - Sardinia - Sicily - Spain - Tour Autumn 2024
That's roughly the plan for this autumn. As always, we're taking things easy. We haven't booked anything except the ferry to Corsica. We're going to the islands for the first time, so we'll see how we like it.
But it could still be Spain again. We just love this country, so it could be that we go to Spain at the end of the year.

Aramon - Balkon der Languedoc Provence
26° 🌤️ 8 hours of sunshine
Today we didn't drive that many kilometers, we have until Tuesday to get to the ferry. Before we got here we were in Avignon and actually wanted to go to a SP there, but it was full!! The CP was also very full and all had a lot of shade, which we don't really want now (solar should work)
Luckily, we were in Avignon 15 years ago, so we didn't miss anything.
We chose this CCP parking space, which is located near the medieval town of Aramon. A short walk into the historic center, perfectly adequate at 26° and sunshine.
One of the most important civil engineers, Henri de Pitot, was born in Aramon. He planned and supervised the construction of many bridges and aqueducts. The most famous of these is the "Pont du Gard".
Pitot's theorem was also named after him in mathematics (geometry) and the Pitot tube was developed according to his calculations.

Today we continued to the Rhône Delta below Arles. We drove past salt pans and flamingos. We are now in Port Saint Louis du Rhône at a CCP site.
New place with all the usual, but no sanitary facilities.
Short walk to the harbor with a stormy wind but sunshine. I think it would be too hot without the wind.
Heavy rain is expected to start tonight and all day tomorrow. Let's see what we do tomorrow.

Camping Santa Gusta
26° 🌦️ 7 hours of sun/ rain showers
The place is OK as a stopover. Too expensive for our taste (32€/night including electricity). The place is by the sea and therefore costs a bit more.
There's not much walking to be done, either on the main road or the small coastal road right by the sea. The beach isn't a beach, just rubble and garbage.
There are a few other campsites, but they are on the mountain/slope. We didn't find any official parking spaces for motorhomes. Of course, some are parked here in the wild, but it's not allowed.
We won't come here a second time.
Update: Showers are hot and clean.

Arrived at 7:00 am in Ajaccio. The ferry staff directed us off the ferry so that we didn't get stranded. Great service.
Now we're looking for a place to have breakfast with a sea view and sunrise. The bakery is right behind the parking lot. Luckily, there's a German camping couple here too. We start chatting
Camping Barbicaja
25.09.2024 - 24° 🌤️ 7 hours of sun / high humidity
We are staying at the simple CP Barbicaja just outside of Ajaccio. A terraced site with a bus connection (L5) to Ajaccio, otherwise we wouldn't be staying here.
Slightly run down CP, it's a shame that no one is interested in renovating anything here.
The access was narrow and steep, and the sanitary facilities were in dire need of renovation.
25.94€/night including electricity (we have to book because there are too many trees here and we can hardly charge our solar)
Tomorrow we want to go to Ajaccio and the archipelago.

Fahrt in den Norden von Korsika
26°/32° 🌦️ 4 hours of sun/rain/again very high humidity/lots of clouds
Today we start to drive to the north of Corsica.
We talked to some campers and heard quite different opinions regarding the roads.
To get to the north we have to take the pass road via Corte.
Time is given as 3 hours for 145km.
Update: the time is not quite right, or rather our motorhome has to struggle up the pass. We stop several times to give the traffic a chance to overtake us. Shortly before Corte the road is closed to motorhomes and there is a diversion. We take this of course, but after a quick check we drive down to Aléria and then continue up the coastal road. Much more pleasant to drive as it is not very high.
There we drive to 3 CP, only the fourth will be, the other 3 are either worn out or expensive

ACSI CP for 21€/night plus tourist tax
The sanitary building is more modern than it was at our last campsite. The water was warm, even at the sink. But the building is completely open. So in the evenings it's also open to animals and flutterers🤪
Bread can be ordered at reception. The receptionist speaks English.
The best place so far.

Just under 40km to Bastia, that is our destination today.
After lunch in the pizzeria on the square (we enjoyed it) we walk to Bastia, to the old town and the harbor. This is the part of Bastia worth seeing. In total we walked 7.6km today and that's enough for today 🤪.
We also booked the ferry for Sardinia today. On Wednesday we will sail from Porto Vecchio at 2 p.m. to Porto Torres in Sardinia.
We want to see Bonifacio on Monday and then the beaches around Porto Vecchio on Tuesday. From Wednesday or Thursday onwards it is supposed to only rain here in Corsica. And sitting around in the motorhome for 4 days is not really our thing.

Camping Les Sables Rouges
Simple CP for 1 night 22€ without electricity, very nice location with a view of the sea and the center of Badtia is a 30-minute walk away.
The sanitary facilities are simple, there is only cold water at the sinks/wash basins. I can't say anything about the shower, we didn't use it.
The bakery is 700 meters away and has a very large selection. We tried the pizzeria on the square. We liked it, prices like at home (14€/pizza, 3.50€ -5€ drinks, 1.50€ coffee)
In the afternoon the place fills up, but there are still free spots. Off-season is certainly more relaxed.

The drive to Bonifacio was always along the coast, and we arrived after about 3.5 hours. Unfortunately, everything was full and cramped. So once again we couldn't find a place to park the camper van. As we left the town, I saw the sign for the parking lot at the roundabout for €10/24 hours. And you can also spend the night here. The way back to Bonifacio is about 25 minutes, first steeply downhill and then, of course, steeply uphill. Bonifacio is a port town with a citadel on the cliffs. Worth seeing. Bonifacio is a beautiful little town, lots of sailing boats and yachts.
We walk up to the rock and have a beautiful view.
Update: there is a free shuttle bus from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. that takes parking lot visitors to Bonifatio. We didn't know that.

Vorletzter Tag auf Korsika
30°🌤️ - 9 hours of sunshine
This morning there were about 10 motorhomes in this parking lot. It was a quiet and safe night. The ticket must be paid at the machine when leaving (bank card).
Our first goal is to go to the most beautiful beach in Corsica, the "Santa Giulia" beach. But we can't get there with the motorhome. So we drive to the "Plage de Palombaggia". The road is extremely winding and very narrow at times. There is an I-PINI car camper parking lot for €4, which you can also book as a parking space for one night (€14). But, as you would expect, there are lots of trees and roots. There is a bread roll service and there is also a bar. We see a sign for a service station for motorhomes, but we don't know where it is.
So we'll just walk to the beautiful beach and then look for a place in Porto Vecchio, where we'll take the ferry to Sardinia tomorrow at 2 p.m. The first clouds are coming in this evening and from tomorrow onwards the weather here in Corsica will get worse.
Conclusion about Corsica:
A very beautiful island in terms of landscape, but definitely not suitable for us. It is too narrow, too steep and there is not enough infrastructure for motorhomes. The campsites are expensive and do not offer much for the money. Shopping and eating out are also rather expensive. We like to stay in campsites with few trees so that we can generate electricity with solar power. This autumn there are a lot of mosquitoes and for me that means sitting in the motorhome more than outside, as I am allergic to their bites. (20 bites on my leg and all of them are infected, that's not so funny. There are also bites on the rest of my body, but I have given up counting them).
Camping Arutoli
Campsite a little on the outskirts of the city of Porto Vecchio. So far the cheapest campsite (19.68€/night including tourist tax)
The campsite is also in a forest area, but we still find a place to charge our solar panel. The places are not divided up, which is not possible with all the trees. We have to circle around a lot and look around because of the height and width of our motorhome.
The sanitary building is clean and there is warm water for showering. So far, the price-performance ratio is pretty good.

The ferry ride was calm and took 5 hours.
Cost: €129 without a cabin (we didn't need it for that time). If we had gone from Bonifacio to Sardinia, the crossing would have only taken 2.5 hours but would have cost almost €80 more. Even if we drove back from Porto Torres along the coast, we would not have used €80 in fuel. That's why we chose this ferry connection.
After our arrival we find a parking space here (P4night), there are 2 other campers there and we stay for the first night. We drink another glass of wine in the small bar at the end of the parking lot.
A car keeps rushing past us. Eventually it's quiet and we sleep.

After our first night in Sardinia in the parking lot (lots of cars drove past), we go shopping in Porto Torres. Stock up on everything we need (drinks, fruit, vegetables, bread, pasta).
Then we drive along the coast in very heavy rain, in places the water is several centimeters high on the road or is shooting down the slope.
Badesi
There is a parking space in Badesi, but we arrive here at around 12.30 p.m. and there is no one on the parking space and the barrier is also down.
So we first stop in the parking lot right by the beach.
Here we meet Heike and Karl-Heinz, former Sardinia travelers who recommend that we stay here.
The parking lot is straight and asphalted (ideal in the rain) and from October 1st it is the absolute low season in Sardinia and it would not matter if you were parked here.
We have a very nice chat and stay here for the night. In the late afternoon it stops raining, but a strong wind (8bfr) comes along and blows hard all night.

There is a cafe, bakery and a water point around the corner. There are other shopping opportunities in Bosa. After moving the car, we go to the defense tower at the harbor. I then walk to the old town and the old bridge Ponte Vecchio. (Easy walk, about 2.5km)
The old town of Bosa is located a little higher up, with lots of colorful houses and a castle above.
There was a sunset again this time.

We end up at a free beach parking lot and are not alone here. The beach is said to be one of the most beautiful beaches.
For us it's a normal beach, nothing wild. Everything is fine for one night. There's nothing, the bar is closed, the toilet block on the beach is also closed.

With all the rain it is not so nice to drive, there is often a lot of water on the road, which the Italians don't seem to care about. We plan to drive to the peninsula to Sant Antiocio.

Simple parking for 10€/night with fresh water supply and there is a bar. You also pay here. The site is in a nature reserve, you drive past many salt pans and there are also flamingos here.
Because the location is so remote, the night was very quiet. Luckily, everything here is paved and the heavy rain can drain away easily.

This morning the weather is better. After breakfast we set off again towards Cagliari, we actually chose an ACSI site, but it is 143km further along the east coast. That is the plan for now. The roads are absolutely not great, lots of potholes, now and then there are freshly tarred stretches, what a relief to drive on. Shortly before Cagliari we decide not to go to the ACSI site. We would rather stay here and wait for the ferry.

So we leave the city again. We look for a new place. We find a parking space 16km from Cagliari that is supposed to have water and electricity. Apparently even showers and toilets. We'll see.
Update:
The site is a sandy parking lot with designated parking spaces for 15 camper vans. From October 1st, you can spend the night here for €12.00 per night including electricity and water and electricity. Showers are cold and outside and the toilets are locked. We are only allowed to stay here for 2 days, however, and then we have to go back down. So we have to find somewhere to stay for one more night (the ferry doesn't leave until Saturday afternoon). Unfortunately, it's not that easy here, but we'll manage.
After a bit of research I saw that the bus to Cagliari leaves from here, so we will look at the city tomorrow. There is also a small shopping center with a hardware store, clothing store, perfumery and grocery store. So everything is there.

We take the bus (L130/L129) to the bus station in Cagliari.
First we go to the port and try to get our e-ticket printed out for the ferry on Saturday. But we are sent into town to the Grimaldi Lines ticket counter. The e-ticket is printed out here. We don't understand why this has to happen, but that's how they want it. We can't get on the ferry with just the e-ticket. Unbelievable, but it's true.
Afterwards we stroll through the city, up and down hills. Since it is very humid today, we are exhausted after 2 hours and take the bus back.

Today we have to leave the parking space. I pay at the machine, in cash or by card. I think we can stay at the site until the 48 hours are up. This turns out to be a mistake when we leave. After a short time, after paying, the count starts again. So we have to pay €12 for 34 minutes.
If we had paid right before leaving and we had been there within 48 hours, we wouldn't have had to pay anything. That was my mistake. OK 🥴
Since we don't get to the ferry until tomorrow, we'll stay here on the beach.
Tonight we are standing a little behind the shopping center in the hotel parking lot. It is huge and equipped with lanterns and cameras.
Here in the evening we will meet a camper couple from Roststock.
Unser Fazit für Sardinien
Once here with the camper is enough for us.
It didn't blow us away.
The infrastructure is not the best for campers. And for the money they charge, there is hardly any service behind it. We are used to it being completely different.
In the low season many things are closed (seaside bars, campsites, etc.)
The road quality is also only adequate. Lots of holes in the roads.
It is positive that free camping will be tolerated from October 1st, but I would not like to know how some campers dispose of their waste.
You can see it just by looking at the garbage that many locals throw away, it's really horrible!!!
For us, there will be no repeat! The ferry also costs a lot of money.

The manager Massimo is very accommodating, translates everything into our language with his cell phone and explains everything in great detail. He assigns us a spot after asking us what we like.
Today it's all about relaxing. There's an Italian camper meeting going on here at the SP, and they've been partying all night long, according to some other campers from Germany. The Italian campers are preparing fresh donuts and handing them out to all the campers.
The mood is good and we have a chat. In the late afternoon all the Italians leave and now there are only 9 motorhomes left at the SP. It becomes quiet. Here too, the majority of the campers are Swiss, Austrians and Germans.

Somehow we're in the right place and a bus 628 comes along and we wave at it. It stops and we ask if it's going into the city. It works. We also find the connecting bus 101 and so we're in the city by the theater.
It is a big city and accordingly there are a lot of visitors. Piazza, Teatro, cathedral and many old buildings with narrow streets lead us to the street food street. We don't eat anything there, but not far from there we find a small pizzeria and eat a very good pizza there (20.50€ including drinks). Really cheap for Italy. 70€ for eating out is somehow normal here. The city of Palermo is a historic old city, but unfortunately also very dirty, a lot of things are broken and somehow we can't shake the feeling that Italians don't value their property. Everything looks very run down.
On the way back we go to a phone shop to buy a prepaid card for our router. Unfortunately they only accept our data with a passport, which we don't have. So it's not possible to buy a phone card. So when we get home I apply for a passport so I can buy a phone card. (I don't understand what that has to do with a passport, but it seems to be true. That was certainly the reason why the other card didn't work. The explanation was that our ID card didn't have an EU symbol on it and was therefore not valid. So much for Europe.)
So now we go to the bus 101, which we take to the stadium and from there bus 616 supposedly goes to the camper area Malica. The first bus comes and we go to the stadium, walk to the stop for bus 616. We wait here for over an hour and no bus comes. Our tickets are no longer valid either and so we walk back (very annoyed) a bit (10 minutes) and buy more tickets there and now go to another stop. Bus 628 is supposed to leave from there, it only goes to Sferracavallo and from there we walk another 15 minutes to the camper area. But we are finally back with boiling feet and dry mouths.
Einfach mal Nix tun
15.10.2024 - 26° ☀️ 10 hours of sun, partly hazy,
Today we only have a few small things to do: buy bread and a little fruit, salad and tomatoes. We'll buy everything else tomorrow when we move on with our motorhome.
We find the groceries we want in the small town and then want to drink a coffee at the harbor/promenade, which is somehow all one and the same. We are sent away because there are only restaurants here and they don't serve coffee. We could get coffee in a bar, but there isn't one here, or rather it's not open. So we go back to the motorhome without drinking coffee and are disappointed.
In the afternoon I go for a walk in the nature reserve “de Capo Gallo”.
We are now increasingly understanding why so many campers prefer to spend the winter in Spain. The infrastructure is simply better there. Much more open, and they also want tourists. Here we have the feeling that it is a necessary evil. Besides, if the tourists are already here, then they should pay.

San Vito Lo Capo
29° ⛅️ 3 hours of sunshine
Our journey here first involved filling up with petrol and shopping, then a bit on the A29 (which is toll-free, by the way) to Castellammare del Golfo, where we then continued on the country road to San Vito Lo Capo. The landscape was a bit mountainous and there were lots of olive trees and vines. On the way we kept seeing illegal rubbish dumps right next to the road, unbelievable.
In San Vito Lo Capo the car park (10 parking spaces) is directly behind the port. From October 15th you can park here without paying. The local police have already driven past, had a look and then moved on. We are not alone here either.
The weather has become very cloudy this afternoon, and it is supposed to rain from tomorrow afternoon. Let's see what actually happens.

V+E included. There are 4 showers (unisex) costing 1€/4min. Water is hot. There is also a toilet each.
A safe place to explore the old town of Palermo. Bus tickets are available at the "reception", she spoke good English and also printed out the ticket for the ferry that we booked online.
The night was quiet, despite the cramped conditions and the many mobile homes. Then in the middle of the night we had a violent thunderstorm.
PS: I didn't take any pictures of the parking lot, it was functional, sure, but not pretty.

Was für ein Tag
⛈️19° - heavy rain
Just this morning we drove to the port and asked where we had to go tonight. A very nice Sicilian explained to us in English where we had to go, but that we shouldn't be there before 10 p.m. There was a safe parking lot very close by and he marked us on his cell phone where exactly both places were.
We then drive to the shopping center, where we were when we arrived. We stay here for 5 hours, free of charge and with the amenities of a shopping center (☕️🥐💧🥖)
At 5 p.m. we decide to drive to the parking lot that the nice Sicilian had recommended to us that morning. It's raining, no, it's pouring incessantly. The parking lot is much too narrow and small for us. Luckily we get out again without any damage and without having to pay anything.
So we drive to the ferry terminal. The streets are full of water and holes. They won't let us in at the port, but where do we go? In Palermo, almost all streets are one-way streets and the traffic is extremely stressful. Parking spaces are in short supply. We find a gap on the road 10m before the port entrance. We put it in reverse and drove back illegally, there was no other option and everyone here is just driving all over the place. There are no traffic rules, not even for us. At 10 p.m. we are let in, everything is chaotic, no clear instructions, everyone drives as they think 🤦🏻♀️
We are just happy when we are on the ferry, it is not the right island (country?) for us.

We have been to this campsite several times, once again it is very full and it is still mid-season and it costs almost €10 more than in low season. Even though we don't use electricity, we pay €29.80, but we stay for one night to eat on the promenade. This has to be the case now!!!! We need this now 😂

We walk along the coastal path to the harbor and into the old town. Since we have been here several times before, we know the routes.
In the other direction there is a beautiful hiking trail directly along the coast, but this time we don't walk there for long.
As the weather forecast for this weekend is very bad for the northern Spanish coast, we want to drive to Valencia tomorrow. The bad weather is not expected to arrive there until Monday. Then we will drive further down.

Free city parking space in a car park for around 10 mobile homes. You can park here for a maximum of 48 hours. Garbage cans are in the immediate vicinity. Fresh water can be used for filling up. There is also a floor cover for disposing of black water.
Sewage gully in the rear part of the parking lot for grey water.
It was a safe place to pass through, and we preferred to stand on asphalt for the heavy rain that was forecast. And the high-rise buildings keep the wind off a little.

A free parking space on a large open area on the beach. It is tolerated that there are a lot of mobile homes here. Today, however, we are not in the first row with a view of the sea. It is too stormy, so we park a little further back and have the greenery as protection from the wind. It rains late at night, but the wind dies down and everything is fine for us.
Please it is “nature” that we should treat with respect.
Ps: the bakery van came by again around 10:00 a.m. Just for your information.

Almeria mit dem Bus
10.11.2024 - ⛅️ 24° light wind
This morning we decide to take the bus to Almeria.
The bus stop is 12 minutes away from the SP. The M330 bus runs every hour and costs €2 per person to Almeria. The route goes along the coast and in Almeria we get off at the second stop.
We walk towards the marina to the Park de la Estation or the observation deck.
Below, in the park, there is a festival with street food stalls and music.
It smells absolutely delicious, and it tastes that way too.
Afterwards we walk to the cathedral, unfortunately everything is closed.
So we set off on the way back.
We will stay in Roquetas de Mar for a while and will take the bus to Almeria again. There is definitely still a lot to see
