Grabs - Bütschwil - Bursins
During the departure planned for 11 a.m. on 10.4.24 (in snowfall) we had to realize
that the refrigerator did not work "on gas".
So we had to visit the dealer and lose two hours of time. But he was able to help us...
Unfortunately, we didn't get as far as planned on the first day and decided - as we were still in Switzerland - to spend the night at a motorway service station

Note: at EUR 14 per person, the entrance fee doesn't seem cheap, but it's really worth it. The path leads through a very well-kept garden with an endless variety of plants. We couldn't stop being amazed. Highly recommended.

Monistrol de Montserrat
After waiting for the drizzle to stop, we drove (via a detour) inland to Monistrol.
Detour because we had to look for a pharmacy in Blanes and then visit the doctor later in Terrassa (near Monistrol) because of the risk of blood poisoning.
The road from Barcelona to Monistrol is one of the very few toll motorways (EUR 13.-)
Arrival at the bus parking lot (free) of the cogwheel cable car to the monastery on Montserrat. Super quiet night with the privilege of taking the first train.

Valencia - Kunstbauten
Today we took the metro to Alameda station to explore the new town with its artistic buildings.
(given the long distances, we would have been better off taking the bikes) A kilometer-long footpath in the dried-up river bed to the buildings "Les arts" and "L'Hemisferic"
Fantastic footpaths and works of art on every street corner.

Denia
Continue to Denia, parking at the sports marina. (huge paved area, very dusty) Top location, EUR 15.- without any service.
Hike to the castle hill (entrance fee for seniors EUR 2.-) and enjoy the wonderful panoramic view.
Otherwise, Denia (at this time of year) did not particularly convince us.

Consuegra - Don Quijote
We continued our journey (after a short visit to the market) via Ciudad Real (which didn't encourage us to stop) overland to Consuegra.
We drove up to the foot of the hill with the windmills and parked the motorhome in the large, dusty parking lot (to spend the night). All toilets closed, no infrastructure, no water.
Kampf gegen Windmühlen
The hill with the 12 historic windmills and the castle may have been the inspiration for the novelist Miguel de Cervantes to describe the hopeless struggle of Don Quixote.

Valencia
Continue via Utiel (we wanted to stay, but we didn't like it) to Requena (we didn't like that either, just disposed of the waste and bought something at Lidl) to Valencia el Saler to the Camping Coll Vert (with ACSI EUR 17.- including electricity) very old sanitary facilities, OK for one night, otherwise not so great.
The whole route was lined with grain fields and towards Valenvia there were also vineyards. This had the disadvantage that we had to cross the flight of millions of bees, which completely stuck to the front of the vehicle and especially the windshield... :-(
