Viva Espagne
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'.

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'.

Around 6.45 pm we arrived at the camper place that we had found through park4night. See the link below :

But it turned out to be full. Don't worry, there was a campsite next door. See link below :
*http://camping-sainteclaire.com/
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.
Night fell and we settled in....

This was the plan :
We drive to the coast just before the border with Spain.
Spend the night via camper car park and stay for two nights to start our Spanish adventure.
https://www.campingcarpark.com/fr_FR/sejour/aire-etape-camping-car/nouvelle-aquitaine/40-landes/mimizan
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.

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.

A small tour we thought, it soon became a ride of about 27 km, tour around lac D'Aureilhan.

The intention was to have something to eat there, but for some reason the passage was closed.
So we had to turn around.
We are not very busy people, so we decided to ignore San Sebastian and look for a quiet spot outside it to have a picnic.

Around 3 pm we drove through Getaria and we were lucky, there was still a space available in the parking lot for campers.
We had just won a lottery ticket.
Nice sea view, so there was doubt whether we were going to stay there for the evening or not.
We strolled through the town, treated ourselves to an ice cream, wonderful holiday feeling.
I really didn't know what to choose, stay or continue.
But my husband made the decision.

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.

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.

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.

Day 4
Maandag 15 augustus 2022
Dit moest een chill dagje worden en dat werd het ook.
Te voet naar het dorpje, er was daar een vide grenier (rommelmarkt). Wat was er daar een leuke sfeer en we hebben zelfs iets op de kop getikt voor in de keuken thuis.
In de namiddag nog eens de fiets boven gehaald en eens tot aan een meer in de buurt gereden.
Maar het was echt van take it easy....

Na een zalige nacht, wel een drukke plaats in de avond wat de campers betreft, beslisten we, voor we naar de Lagos Covadonga gaan, om ons te verplaatsen. Dezelfde parking, maar een betere plek om dan rond de middag weg te rijden want we hadden gezien hoe druk het daar kon zijn.
Dus 2 euro in de betaalmeter, onze ticketjes voor de bus tot aan Lagos de Covadonga en weg waren we.
Magnifiek was het daarboven. Mooie wandeling gemaakt, veel foto's en vooral genoten van de prachtige uitzichten.

Dus in de namiddag zorgde het zwembad terug voor de nodige verkoeling!!!!

Zalig ritje er naar toe, berg af!!!! Gaan met die banaan!!!!
En het was er dan nog markt, dus slenteren en genieten van al het moois en ook wel het lekkers.
Maar ja berg af, betekent ook berg op terug richting de camping.
Dus trappen maar en ja gaan met die banaan!!!!!
We merkten op de dat een zwembad bezoek traditie werd in de namiddag, lekker chillen en niets doen.
Boekje lezen.
Do we need more???
Oh jawel, een hapje en een drankje hoorden er ook bij!!!

We waren serieus onder de indruk toen we naar de camper fietsten. Dit moesten we laten bezinken!!!!

Vroeg uit de veren, en daar was de regen.
Maar dit hield me niet tegen om te gaan lopen en langs de bakker te passeren om verse croissants te halen.
Ze waren super lekker.
In de namiddag gingen we nog eens wandelen.
Geen zon maar ook geen regen meer. Dus ideaal, en tijdens het lopen had ik een weggetje ontdekt door de bomen die naar verschillende wateringen leidde...mooi stukje natuur.
We eindigden op het marktje voor een koffie, een frisse cola en iets lekkers van de bakkerij.
En we sloten af met een lekker etentje aan de camper, gezellige avond en het was tijd om naar huis te keren.

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.

This was supposed to be a chill day and it turned out to be.
On foot to the village, there was a vide grenier (flea market). There was such a nice atmosphere there and we even got something for the kitchen at home.
In the afternoon I picked up the bike again and drove to a lake nearby.

The intention was to have something to eat there, but for some reason the passage was closed.
So we had to turn around.
We are not very busy people, so we decided to ignore San Sebastian and look for a quiet spot outside it to have a picnic.

Around 3 pm we drove through Getaria and we were lucky, there was still a space available in the parking lot for campers.
We had just won a lottery ticket.
Nice sea view, so there was doubt whether we were going to stay there for the evening or not.
We strolled through the town, treated ourselves to an ice cream, wonderful holiday feeling.
I really didn't know what to choose, stay or continue.
But my husband made the decision.
Drive on!!!!

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.

Here we settled in for the evening and then drove to Oradour sur Glane the next day, but it was so quiet and so calm that we just stayed an extra day.
We found the place through Camper car park, see the link below :

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.
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.

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!!!!

This was the day we really drove home and made one last stop.
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.

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.

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!!!
