On August 12, 2022, our trip through France and Spain was planned.
No sooner said than done, after my early shift it was time to leave.
This time without the dogs because the son stayed at home, so it was 'just the two of us'.

Vrijdag 12 augustus 2022.
We left for about 300km, with the motorhome in Neufchâtel-en-Bray in mind.
So around 2.15 pm we were already in a holiday mood and we turned on.
With 't Wrakske up boane, it was back to 'rien and we'll see'.

But it turned out to be full. Don't worry, there was a campsite next door. See link below :

Once we went to the reception and yes we got a nice seat. It was a very well-maintained campsite, and at first sight a cycling network nearby, also not so far from the center. But that was not so important to us now because we were on our way to Spain.
We decided to eat in the restaurant at the campsite, we also had no dishes and such and we could still enjoy a nice evening.
The food there was super tasty.
In the restaurant we got talking with 2 couples who were passing through but back to Belgium because their trip was over.
We really didn't mind that there was no space on the motorhome, nice start to our holiday.

Beautiful place on a pond, there was also quite a bit of animation.
But because of the number of km's and sitting still, I needed to move. I then put on my running shoes and walked around the block. It was, of course, far too hot, but it felt good to be on the move once in a while.

Spend the night via camper car park and stay for two nights to start our Spanish adventure.

BUT it soon became clear that we didn't want to do that or had something else in mind, we wouldn't do Montfort or maybe Mimizan or maybe something else.
Yep, our statement of 'rien and we'll see' was put to the test. Just kidding.
Route du CEL, Mimizan, Frankrijk
It became Mimizan after all. So around 8:15 am we drove towards the coast, closer to our target, Spain.
According to the Camper car park app, there was still room in Mimizan. So we went there, but it was very busy and after a round at the camper place we were like, naaahhhh not our thing.
So the back up plan and no it was not Montfort, but Pontex les Forges.

We were woken up to the sound of the sea in the background.
Such a wonderful feeling to get up, then a cup of fresh coffee and the day could start.
Around 09:20 am we turn on, towards San Vicente de la Barquera.
This little town was definitely on our list of what we wanted to see.
San Vicente de la Barquera, Spanje
In the late afternoon we arrived and we decided to see if there was room at the motorhome of camping El Rosal.
See link below :

We were lucky, got a spot and we made a reservation at the restaurant and then went into town.
Between the rain showers, but in itself that didn't bother us.
What a wonderful day .... and this was then concluded in the restaurant of the campsite where the food was very tasty and then an evening walk for dessert.

Around 9am we left the coast to head into the mountains. We wanted to do the Los Picos de Europa Mountains.
Totally unknown, but no less beautiful, on the contrary.
So we drove to Poncebos.
[CAMARMEÑA] Funicular Poncebos [CTA 10386], Spanje
We parked about 4 km before the funicular from Poncebos.
Here we could easily lose our Wrakse.
Parking found through Park4Night, see link below :

And so we decided to walk the road to Bulnes.
Bulnes can only be reached in this way or by funicular (underground cable car).
Then we came right back down.
Bulnes is a great place to stay, beautiful village, good food, beautiful views.
The walk to it is the max, a bit via Ruta del Cares.
Great day, our hearts were filled again.

Cangas de Onis
After the walk we decided to drive towards Covadonga.
We wanted to see the lakes and we had also read a lot about them and found that they were worth a visit.
We soon noticed that this was a busy area, and promotions were made to use the peripheral car parks and then public transport.
So first look for a parking space.
But to our delight we found it, edge parking 3 in Cangas de Onis with a public transport sales stand.
You pay a maximum of 2 euros until midnight and then the campers are allowed to spend the night there. To drive back in the morning or possibly pay 2 euros back if you want to stay another day.

So we looked for a spot and then went exploring. Ticket for the bus to Covadonga. Looked exactly like Lourdes his Spanish.
We decided to spend the night there and then pay the 2 euros back in the morning to visit the Lagos of Covadonga.
This was a great idea!

After a wonderful night, although a busy place in the evening for the campers, we decided to move before we go to the Lagos Covadonga. The same parking lot, but a better place to drive away around noon because we had seen how busy it could be there.
So 2 euros in the pay meter, our tickets for the bus to Lagos de Covadonga and away we were.
It was magnificent up there. Made a nice walk, took many pictures and especially enjoyed the beautiful views.

Mirador de Piedrashitas, Posada de Valdeón, Spanje
Around 1.30 pm we left for Posada de Valdeon.
This was the plan, to spend the night there on the motorhome.
Beautiful drive through the Los Picos mountains, until we passed a beautiful place.
Namely the Mirador de Piedrashitas. Picnic tables, nice place and a sight to behold.
Perfect place to drink coffee and eat a cookie.
But even better, we stayed there for the night!!!!

After a blissful night we left around 10 am for the Camping, the only one we had booked in advance.
First a stop at the supermarket to fill the fridge with lots of tasty things.
Camping San Pelayo, Carretera Potes Fuente Dé, Camaleño, Spanje
We arrived around noon, or just after.
Super welcome and while my husband was running water and cleaning the toilet, I went to approve our place.
We had a choice, but the one with the beautiful view of the mountains was perfect for us.
Under the trees, which provided cooling and the necessary shade.
We settled in and soon found that this was a perfect choice.
In the afternoon we spent some time at the pool, ideal with these temperatures.

Blessed ride there, mountain down!!!! Go with that banana!!!!
And then there was still a market, so stroll and enjoy all the beauty and also the goodies.
But yes downhill, also means uphill back to the campsite.
So kick it and yes go with that banana!!!!!
We noticed that a visit to the pool became tradition in the afternoon, chilling out and doing nothing.
Read a book.

Oh yes, a snack and a drink were also part of it!!!

On Friday morning I started my day with my running shoes on.
Nice breakfast afterwards and then a walk from the camper place to the market and then along 'le sentier d'Ardour'. This was a nice walk.
In the afternoon we chilled at the outdoor swimming pool that is literally at the entrance of the camper place.

Good morning,
Today we leave for Oradour Sur Glane. Finally, something that has been on our 'must see' list for a while.
Cieux, Frankrijk
We drove through Oradour Sur Glane and soon noticed that the car parks were very busy there.
But I had found a motorhome about 7km in a village Cieux.
I found it via the camper car park app, see the link below:

Quiet, the way we like it.
We immediately decided to visit Oradour on a Sunday, at our leisure.

Zondag 28 augustus 2022.
So after breakfast, we went as agreed with the bikes towards Oradour Sur Glane. A ride of about 8 km and we were there.
The visit was more than worth it. A moment of silence, that's all I can say. Something that came in, the horror, the sadness,...
We were seriously impressed when we cycled to the motorhome. We had to let this sink in!!!!
Day
Maandag 29 augustus 2022.
This was the day we really drove home and made one last stop.
Souppes-sur-Loing, Frankrijk
Our stopping point was somewhere in Souppes sur Loing.
We really like the unknown villages, which all have their splendor.
Our spot was one via Camper car park, see the link below:
*https://www.campingcarpark.com/fr_FR/sejour/camping/ile-de-france/77-seine-et-marne/souppes-sur-loing
We got there, and there were still a few fellow campers.
We settled in, and once went to the market, time for a coffee for me and a fresh pint for my husband.
Sprawled out on the terrace, how clean can it be.

Dinsdag 30 augustus 2022.
Up early, and there was the rain.
But this didn't stop me from walking and passing the bakery to get fresh croissants.
They were super tasty.
In the afternoon we went for another walk.
No more sun and no more rain. So ideal, and while walking I had discovered a road through the trees that led to various waterings ... beautiful piece of nature.
We ended up at the market for a coffee, a fresh cola and something delicious from the bakery.
And we ended with a nice dinner at the camper, a pleasant evening and it was time to return home.
Day
Woensdag 31 augustus 2022.
We left for Belgium around 9 am.
We still had quite a few kilometers to go, but it had been fun.
And we had planned a dinner with the son in the evening, because on September 1st a new chapter started for him and we wanted it with the three of us!!!
Oostkamp
We arrived home around 4 pm.
'Home sweet home'.
The first things were already taken out of the camper but the rest was for the next day, now it was time for Q time with the son and the dogs.
