Departing September 2019. Traveling with van, 2 adults and 2 dogs
In search of peace and nature, beautiful areas, relaxation without the hustle and bustle and cities, we actually wanted to start towards the Mediterranean, but then decided to go in the other direction. So first the Atlantic, then the Pyrenees, then the Mediterranean. In retrospect, it was also a good decision, everything went well!

We made the first route a little longer to make a little "kilometres". Also worked fine. Sundays, little traffic, hardly any trucks, it worked... By the way, we also tried to save some tolls. But it doesn't make sense if you want to move forward. Lots of town crossings with lots of roundabouts slow you down quite a bit.
We didn't consider that the season is already over for many at the beginning of September. The planned CP was still in operation, but at 7:30 p.m. the gate was closed. So we stood in front of it in the parking lot and took advantage of the services of the CP on foot and for free!

Camping Panorama du Pyla Yelloh Village Dune du Pilat, Avenue de Biscarrosse, La Teste-de-Buch, Frankreich
France was actually only intended for quick transit, as we used to have bad experiences with the friendliness of the people and the standard of the sanitary facilities. But this place is really too bad for a stopover. Grandiose location with a great view. Showers and washrooms very nice, toilets are still in need of improvement, but tolerable.
Even though we only stayed 2 nights, we got a front row seat and really enjoyed it. It was great for our dogs, because they were allowed to go everywhere on the beach and whizzed over the gigantic dunes.
Linguistically, it wasn't a problem either, English was everywhere, sometimes they tried to speak German.
Yes, but since we had a plan and still had many goals, we "had" to move on.

Camping Gran Camping Zarautz
After a relaxing drive (I travel a lot on German autobahns for work, so I really enjoyed it..), our sat nav took us to a construction site in the middle of the city, far away from the CP?. But then we found it. First impression wasn't great as the place has a good view but it takes a while to get to the sea...(about 15 minutes with a lot of stairs). But we have not regretted it. A really great beach, a paradise for surfers...

Next stop: Camping La Paz! Terraced campsite, so that you have a fantastic sea view from almost all pitches. The course is located over 2 bays, which allow an impressive walk at low tide. Somehow the bays at low tide reminded me of the old film adaptation of "Planet of the Apes". Very exciting?!
The Way of St. James runs right through the square. We hiked it 5 km west to get to a place on the coast where small geysers can be admired. More or less depending on the tide. With us it was rather less...?
After 2 days we went on to the Pyrenees.

It was only a short distance between these two destinations, but the scenery was very impressive! Beautiful valleys, great views and finally water in the rivers. The dry summer has also left its mark in the Pyrenees: many dry streams and rivers give rise to the idea of traveling to this region in spring or early summer next time.
We chose the CP itself because it is under German management. Now we wouldn't recommend him unreservedly because he's under German management...?. The square has become the central meeting point for many motorcyclists and groups, with all the associated background noise...

And there it was...autumn. To support our farewell mood, did the sky cry the whole trip???
The CP, which we chose as the last stop, certainly has a lot to offer during the season. At the end of September we were almost alone.

Fazit!
Driven almost 5000 km, seen and experienced a lot. This was the almost perfect trip. Almost, because we never really want to experience the perfect trip, otherwise we would stay at home next time...?
Driving itself is no problem at all once you have left Germany. If you keep an eye on it, you can also keep fuel costs under control (in France around €1.40, in Spain around €1.20/litre).
We never had any problems with our dogs.
Amazingly, we felt more welcome in France than ever before!
With many great memories and some delicious bottles of wine in our luggage, we are now back home...
...and already planning the next trip?
