Spain - adventures in a campervan
Half way through September 2021, as the travel regulations around Covid eased up and a gap in my work schedule emerged, we decided to go ahead with plans to take the campervan to Spain. The earliest we could get through the preparations - testing, QR codes, getting the van ready, etc. was the 27th so we booked the ferry Portsmouth to Bilbao and crossed our fingers that all would work out. The ferry takes 24 hours - and is fabulous! MV Cap Finistere may not be cheap but it is clean, comfortable and fast. I was pleasantly surprised. Because we were due to dock at 6 in the evening we decided to head for a campsite nearby for the first few days while we got our bearings. So first stop was along the coast near Laredo. The site is on the side of an estuary with long sandy beaches, great walks, beautiful horses and lovely views. Amazing sunset. We stayed for 3 nights. Nice little campsite under the plane trees and a short walk along the shore to a local village for food. Unfortunate...
