If not now then when??? In 2023 we will leave work, work and take six months together before we return to everyday life... In August 2022 we treated ourselves to a Jumper motorhome and in April 2023 we will start...
Here the planning of the first part of the tour from home to Barcelona. The second section should then take us from Barcelona via ferry to Italy and Greece...

Well located campsite - by tram or bike in about 20 minutes in the center. Camper incl. 2 people 37.50 euros/day for the proximity to the center, good infrastructure and sanitary facilities, we found this okay. Supermarket and restaurant on the square, not recommended in our view, as it is clearly too expensive.
On the day of arrival, we explored the part of Amsterdam that can be reached from here on foot and got stuck at Café Dorst in the sunshine. Late sunset watched at the square.

Roughly planned destination was Bruges, but as in the past few days, we didn't like it or it was full, so we let ourselves drift and finally ended up in Ostend via De Haan. We stood with many others between the dyke and a small river port (Vuurtorenweg 10, Oostende). Officially, staying overnight is probably not allowed, we spent a total of three nights there, but moved the camper every day. Tip: about 8 km away in Gistel there is a mobile home parking space where you can stay overnight (14 euros). Here, however, everyone can only use the supply and disposal.

Started with the best weather, we wanted to explore part of the longest tram route in the world (day ticket 7.50 euros). Since you can get off and on again at any time, a visit to the Atlantic Wall was planned as a stopover. It was already raining when we arrived in Raversyde and it didn't get any better... Two hours later we were well informed about the Atlantic Wall in World War I and II, but we were soaking wet and frozen through. The coastal tram was jam-packed and the windows fogged up - demolition and back to the camper.

We were told that in the morning between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. someone would knock on the mobile home to collect the parking fee (10 euros/night) - there was nobody with us... First walk on the beach: At high tide the water bangs up to the stones below the concrete path, beach at this time none. Since it was very windy, only a short walk today, also past donkeys and the lighthouse.

Nice walk, although without a beach, but with a view of the Loire estuary in the Atlantic and a fantastic Sunset.

22.04.2023 - Châtelaillon-Plage, Frankreich
Passed through La Rochelle and ended up in Châtelaillon-Plage. Good parking space, sun and blue sky - first coffee and then exploring the area. Chic church, a few chic houses, but at first glance quiet and inconspicuous and then you come to the beach... A promenade with small shops, cafes, hotels and lots of people. Walking on the beach, playing and sunbathing in the sand and surfing or kiting in the water - everything was represented.

Since the Amazon order is still not there, after visiting La Teste-de-Buch again, we drove past our desired destination, the Dune-du-Pilat. Here almost all campsites and parking lots fell victim to a forest fire in 2022 and are in the best case being rebuilt... So we drove to Gastes and found another place from the operator, for which we already have a ticket and stood two nights at Lac de Parentis-Biscarrosse.

First to La Teste-de-Buch and pick up the order, then accept the challenge of finding a parking space on the dunes... The main parking lot was already closed again at 12:00 p.m. because it was full. In Le Petit Nice, we drove into a parking lot that was "actually" only for vehicles up to 1.90 m (we weren't the only ones with a camper)... Due to the coast breaking off, only a cliff - we also came down to the beach not entirely allowed. Approx. 1.5 hour walk to and from the Dune du Pilat. Great view and then back again. Since campers/WoMos were not allowed there, we finally parked in Arcachon in a parking lot (allowed for WoMos, on the main road, but free of charge) and stayed overnight.

We're still parked with the camper on the Spanish side in La Linea. From there, Gibraltar is easily accessible on foot or by bike – 500 meters to the border, a quick crossover, and you're there... Our first attempt ended at the first gas station, and after an hour of vainly hoping it would stop raining, we finally got back to the camper, soaking wet.
At least Madame Sonne made a brief appearance in the evening...

21.05.2023 - San Juan de los Terreros / Pulpi
Continuing our journey along the coast, we first reached the Mermaids Reef (Cabo da Gata) and then a site with a few RVs that still seemed strange to us (Palomares). A quick internet search revealed that there was a plane crash involving nuclear bombs here in the 1960s, releasing plutonium (see also Wikipedia: Palomares nuclear accident). We didn't want to stay there, so we drove a bit further. In Pulpi, we spent the night in a huge parking lot next to a construction site. Next to it was a residential and/or hotel complex and a completed promenade.

Camping in the middle of nowhere... Even though there was no beach, it was a good spot... But only if you can be self-sufficient for at least a day or two. No water or waste disposal, and nothing else. We stayed here until May 24, 2023, but because it rained heavily the whole time and you're standing on sand, we left.

Grab your scooter/bike and off you go to explore the city... Find the park and use the bike paths. The park is fantastic; you pass the City of Arts and Sciences, and shortly after, you'll arrive in the old town. Today's itinerary included the old town, including a water dish (feel free to google it) and delicious tapas. Besides the old stones, be sure to visit the market hall.

Before we move on, we want to see the Oceanogràfic. Since we were up early in the morning, we first take care of supply and disposal (near El Puig de Santa Maria) and drank our coffee there on the beach. Then back into the city, park for free in front of the Oceanogràfic and head into the parlor (€36 per person). It was also a great experience that I wouldn't want to miss.
From there continue towards Barcelona and around 19:00 stop in Tarragona.

After wonderful days in Valencia (I would do it again), we had to head towards Barcelona, as our ferry was already booked for June 1st. We don't enjoy campers and big cities, so we chose a campsite about an hour outside of Barcelona in Tarragona (€25/night including electricity). The campsite had water and waste disposal, an ATM, a supermarket, good restrooms, a pool, and a beautiful beach. Even though we're not fans of all-inclusive, the place was pretty good, and so we spent our last four nights in Spain here, including a scooter/bike trip to Tarragona.
