we stopped at different places for the night.
Near the motorway, the beach or camping places,
we where self sufficient so for at least four days we could shower and do the dishes
without having to think about our next stop.
I love the feeling of freedom, with no planning ahead and just go with the flow!
So one night we stayed almost on the beach and had diner on the beach
in a typical Spanish fish restaurant.
In this part of Spain it is still possible to just park and enjoy!
We also stayed for some days at a beautiful boutique bed and breakfast
so we have to go back to enjoy some more of this lovely place and the surrounding area.
Our mini-home-away-from-home was parked on the top of the road and we continued our trip to Tarifa. This is the end of Spain, where the wind blows freely and the beaches are sandy and a feeling of freedom comes over you.
From here you can see Morocco and even our cellphones where welcoming us with “welcome to Morocco”. Thanks to Conchita we found a restaurant where we had delicious Spanish fish and she brought us to a beautiful spot on the beach.
Of course when this nice guy from Paraguay was selling knotted bracelets, I had to by the lot.
Well not every item but I have to support the ‘locals’ right?
So now I’m wearing two all the time.
We’ve met some lovely people from Poland and Australia, Germany and Holland,
so besides the Spanish people, who are so friendly, we had a very nice international, sunny, family orientated, beginning of our holiday.

Maureen, it sounds like your trip got off to a fantastically beautiful start. All of your photos are so gorgeous. I loved our trip to Spain – we stayed in Madrid where we have friends and then visited Toledo and Segovia. Weather was gorgeous, cool in October, and we walked all day long. I would love to go back and experience different parts of the country. A friend at school spent last summer with her husband and daughter renting an apartment near Barcelona and this summer they were near the Seville area. thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Maureen, great to hear from you. Your holiday looks amazing. I just love the look of that B&B. Great photos too. Have a wonderful weekend, love Linda x
WOW, what a fantastic trip. How incredible. Your photos are jumping out at me. I adore all those bags hanging up but how could you have possible chosen just one… I’m sure you had to buy them all. Can’t wait to see what happens next… Enjoy. Pruxxx
I checked out the website…oh my, its gorgeous! I will pass it on to my sister who loves Spain, many thanks, love Linda x
It certainly looks like you had a wonderful holiday. The Italians are great Camper Van fans and everywhere is full of them at the moment. I see you did opt for some luxury as well though
Lang leve zomer vakanties! Genieten hier van je foto’s Maureen. Go with the flow… dat is precies wat ik heb gedaan deze zomer.
Liefs xxxx
Hi Maureen
What a joyful holiday you are experiencing. It is nice to hear that some countries still allow campers to park freely in scenic places. This is not so in North America, one must park in the designated parks, in close proximity to neigbouring campers and it is costly too.
I am your newest follower and look forward to the next episode of your trip
