Week 1. 30th March \u2013 5th April 2026. Home to Buitrago del Lozoya, Spain \u2013 1053 miles (mainly at sea!)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Yes, we can’t keep still, and why should we…? Fresh from our 3 months in Asia and a weekend in Vienna for a Mozart weekend, we are now off again on a Jess trip. It has been a while since we have had a van trip. Jess has been undercover for quite a few months over the winter. Now we are back on her, and we have spent some pennies on her…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Tyres, new upholstery in the habitation area, new cabin mat, new mattress, new front seat covers (coming soon). New starter and habitation batteries<\/em><\/strong>, and new champagne glasses!!!!<\/strong><\/em> She has also had the biggest deep clean, so she is as good as new and ready to go…!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday 30th March 2026 (East Cowes to Portsmouth \u2013 14 miles)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we are setting off on a 7-week trip with Jess down to the south of Spain and back again. The trip will take us from home to Portsmouth, by ferry, down the west coast of France to the north coast of Spain, getting off at Santander. We plan to see some of the north of Spain before driving off down the middle of Spain, past Madrid and to the south east coast of Spain, before turning north and hugging the east coast, up through France and back to the UK via the Eurotunnel from Calais. Whew!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We planned this trip a few months ago when there was no sniff of any bother in the Middle East, and diesel prices were just high but not extortionate. One good decision that we made was to put ourselves on a ferry from Portsmouth to Spain, cutting out the long drive through France, thus saving on the cost of diesel, and also the toll roads in France, which are so expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Wightlink Coffee…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The ferry leaves tonight at 9:45pm and takes just over 32 hours to arrive in Santander. We prepared most of the van yesterday, so today we just have to pop the bikes on the back and add some food. We\u2019ve left lots of time between our Isle of Wight ferry and the ferry from Portsmouth to Spain, as we don\u2019t quite trust Wightlink not to cancel a few ferries for various reasons; the usual excuse is that the sea is wet and moves a bit! In the event, though, they managed to put us on an earlier ferry because of issues they had in the earlier part of the day. (See what we mean. If they have to go anywhere near water,<\/em> they panic, and it all goes wrong!<\/em>) This means that we have plenty of time to kill in Portsmouth. First, Jess needs a wash and her tyres checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n
Jess’s first wash of the trip…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H has cooked up some Belgian stew but adapted it using Guinness, so we guess it\u2019s an Irish stew now. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Scoffing H’s Belgian\/Irish stew.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We find a nice spot near the port and in situ, ready for our ferry and have a very civilised dinner before driving the 500m to the port next door. There are lots of other motorhomes here, so we aren\u2019t the only ones risking any kind of fuel crisis that might come our way.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we get on board the Brittany Ferries boat, we settle into our cabin. We have brought some comforts from home, slippers, robes, and our own pillows, amongst other things, just to make our journey that little extra comfy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

On our way<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Cheers everyone…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Our cabin for the next two nights<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We toast our trip with a drink in the bar and then turn in for the first night. The weather is predicted to be low wind, but with a large 4m Atlantic swell for most of the journey. Could be interesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Tuesday 31st March 2026\u00a0(Portsmouth to Somewhere in the Bay of Biscay)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Del slept well last night, but H, unfortunately, not so well; it wasn\u2019t the gentle rolling of the ship keeping her awake; she just couldn\u2019t sleep. By 9am, the rolling swell is quite large and hitting us side on, twisting and rolling the ship. We have a light breakfast of coffee and croissants in the restaurant. There are some rather green-looking children here on board, clutching sick bags.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a walk around the ship, the excitement of the lots of sea around us and the grey skies force us back to our cabin. H is tired and needs a lie down.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
In the middle of the Biscay, looks flatter than it is!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

After a very nice, peaceful rest, we spend the afternoon playing cards in the lounge area with a beer and a packet or two of crisps, where we are just in time for a quiz starting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are given a keypad to present answers from, and the quiz starts. Very soon, we are at the top of the leaderboard, and stay there until the very last question, where we are beaten to the correct answer by a split second. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
We didn’t do too badly in the quiz…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Oh well, we never did get to see what we could have won, but it was a bit of fun all the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have booked into the main restaurant for dinner tonight, in the fancy bit of the boat, but first we have a glass of fizz for an aperitif. For dinner, we both choose from a set menu, salad bar and then a rare steak with a glass of Merlot. It\u2019s all rather delicious and sophisticated; the salad bar is generous with huge prawns and smoked salmon.\u00a0 We expected the price to damage the bank card, but it\u2019s all very reasonable. The food and service are excellent, the ship is French-flagged with French staff, so of course, the food is very good. It\u2019s to be expected.\u00a0They do know what to do with a saucepan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an evening walk and to get the last bit of cloud, we turn in. We will be up at 6 bells in the morning, ready for disembarking at 7am sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Wednesday 1st April 2026\u00a0(Somewhere in the Bay of Biscay to Victoria – Gesteiz, Spain )<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Santander… It’s that van again!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

At 5:45am, we are woken gently by soft music coming over the cabin speakers. We get up, have showers and pack. H sets off in search of some coffee and Danish pastries to have in our room. At 7am ship time (8am Spanish time), we are docked, and released from the boat and out into the cold, damp, grey skies of Santander. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lovely day for a drive!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

It’s cold and wet. Lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have heard horror stories of people spending hours in queues here because of the new EES system, where all non-EU country visitors must be fingerprinted and photographed at the border. Fortunately for us, we are waved through to the front, and soon we are in front of a camera and sticking our claw onto a piece of green flashing glass before being stamped in our passports and allowed entry. Tiresome, really, but there it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to stock up and do a shop, so we find a Lidl, and after spending some time and money, we head off towards Vitoria Gasteiz<\/a>, where we have reserved a place in advance at a paid camper park. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The place where we are staying is 10 euros for the night and includes fresh water, a place to fill up your tank and empty your grey water. Very nice. We arrive and manoeuvre ourselves into position and commence the service. Very soon, an irate chap with a hi-vis vest, clipboard and waving a mobile phone camera at us is telling us off in a rather aggressive manner, saying words to the effect that we “shouldn’t be doing that”. Del breaks into some Spanish, and the ‘official’ calms down a little. It transpires that on a Wednesday, which is market day, you can’t use the facilities during certain hours. Interesting one that. We leave with our tail between our legs, after already being able to empty our grey water tank and fill up with fresh water to almost full. Stick that on your clipboard, mate…!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need some exercise after 32 hours on the boat and head into the town of Victoria – Gesteiz, a 35-minute walk. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Victoria – Gasteiz is in the Basque region of Spain, and has had a rather tetchy past with Spanish governments going over several years, which today, by and large, has been forgotten. Something about independence from Spain and all that kind of thing. A lot of people got hurt and killed for the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite leaving it until later in the day, it\u2019s all looking a bit shut and deserted in the old town. Siesta opening times are still going strong here. We walk around for a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We are in the old part of town, which is normally a pleasant and interesting place to walk around, but this place is a bit… well, edgy. Lots of graffiti, lots of closed and boarded-up shops. Is this the right place? It doesn’t feel right. We carry on walking and come out of the old town into the town ‘proper’ and find it very pleasant. Lovely shops, all clean and tidy, very nice. We stop at a bar for a drink outside in a little patch of sun that we have found. Within 20 minutes, though the temperature has dropped and we are cold to the bone and hungry. We walk to the bus via the rather modern but old-style immense cathedral, and get back to Jess, who is warm and welcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Tapas goodies on board tonight<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Dinner is a tapas feast on board of Spanish goodies we have just bought. It\u2019s rather delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Thursday 2nd April 2026 (Victoria – Gesteiz to Logrono \u2013 40 miles)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We both slept well last night on Jess. It was our first night on our new mattress, which has been custom-made, and it is very comfy. A hit!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
On our way to Laguardia<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We have a light breakfast and set off. Today we are visiting the Rioja wine region<\/a><\/strong>. Our first stop is to a cute little town on a hill called Laguardia<\/a><\/strong>. The parking place has views over the vineyards, which stretch for miles. All the vines look dead and withered, and the weather is showery and cold; it\u2019s hard to imagine that soon this will all turn into lush vines of grapes in the sun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One advantage of this weather is that it\u2019s quiet – this is one of those places that will get crazy busy in the summer. We find a bar with a beautiful display of pinxos (small snacks of meat, fish and vegetables on a slice of rustic bread popular in the north of Spain). They look beautiful, but we don\u2019t fancy anything today. H has a glass of Rioja (when in Rome, etc.) and Del has a coffee, well, someone has to drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The town is very pretty, charming and very old. After a good look round, we drive on to Logro\u00f1o<\/a><\/strong>, a large town in the region well known for its ‘tapas street’. We\u2019re amazed that we manage to get a space in the free motorhome area, as it\u2019s Easter week – last night’s park up was very busy, or rather the free bit outside was, with about 40 vans parking in the supermarket car park. (We parked in the quieter paid bit next door). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re a bit out of town here in the Logro\u00f1o ‘park up<\/em>‘, so we will get the bus, we wait, and wait and wait. Three don\u2019t turn up, and we are about to give up and move on to the next town when it comes around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We\u2019re glad it did, the town is beautiful, much better and bigger than we expected and has an amazing foodie vibe with cute backstreets crammed with cosy tapas bars serving amazing looking food paired with glasses of Rioja wine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We take a walk up the famous tapas street, Calle del Laurel<\/a><\/strong>. It is just packed…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We try a couple of places, sampling a few of the local specialities. Riojan potato stew <\/a><\/strong>(nicer than it sounds), garlic mushrooms and squid, and a pastrami carpaccio. We wander around, taking in the atmosphere and notice quite a few preparations for Easter events tomorrow. Perhaps we should stay another day now that we have our space?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We jump on the bus back and pop into the huge Carrefour supermarket opposite for some supplies. We can\u2019t resist a rotisserie chicken, so have that back in the van with a salad and some wine. Not forgetting, of course, our lovely view here of a petrol station opposite, where we can watch the fuel price rise. So far, it has gone up 5 cents a litre since we went into town a few hours ago!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Friday 3rd April 2026 ( Logro\u00f1o – Day 2)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Easter, everyone! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a Spanish breakfast of tortilla (thick Spanish omelette) and a bit of research for the next few stops for the next few days, we set out on the ‘unreliable<\/em>‘ bus into town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is the day when catholic churches around Spain walk through the streets to mark the start of Semana Santa<\/em>. The parade we watch is a very solemn event, and it’s supposed to commemorate the day Jesus was crucified, and to celebrate\u00a0that the local churches build and parade effigies of Jesus on solid wood floats<\/a><\/em><\/strong> that are incredibly heavy and require many people to lift and carry them. They are so heavy that they can only walk it 20 or so meters before putting it down to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have an idea of the route for tonight’s large parade, so we shall come back later. While we\u2019re here, we might as well have a spot of lunch. We find a bar on a busy street and have a few plates of Spanish goodies and some red Rioja to wash it down.\u00a0Well, we are in the capital of Rioja after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a quiet afternoon, we walk this time back into town and see that it\u2019s become very busy. In the square, there are a few floats set up ready to be carried on the shoulders of the penitents<\/em> wearing hats and gowns. Their outfits are remarkably like the ones of the Ku Klux Klan, and it looks very strange to our eyes, but here it’s the dress and does not mean anything dodgy<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Each float has its own marching drum band, and soon it becomes very noisy. We watch for a good while, we have a good position near the front, and the crowd is now eight deep. Easter here is a bigger event than Christmas. These processions can go on for hours; in some parts of Spain, they have been known to go overnight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After an hour, we feel we have seen enough. There is only so much drumming and heavy float lifting one can take, so we walk back to the van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve enjoyed our couple of days in Logro\u00f1o, it\u2019s a good-looking city that\u2019s very well cared for, very neat, very tidy, with a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and a great free parking space for Jess to stay on. Tomorrow we will move on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Saturday 4th April 2026 (Logro\u00f1o to Burgos \u2013 70 miles)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, while we have been having our breakfast, the price of diesel at the local garage has gone up another 2 cents. We have a good view of the prices here on our spot, and in two nights we have been here, the price for a litre of Diesel has gone up 7 cents! Crazy…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a full service, we set off, and soon we are away from the beautiful city of Logrono and on a free motorway heading west towards the city of Burgos. The drive is beautiful. We have clear blue skies today, and the scenery is very nice, very hilly and green. It changes from looking like parts of the Lake District to Switzerland. The motorways are free and excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Excellent Spanish coffee at excellent Spanish service stations…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

It’s a very lovely drive today. As the motorway snakes its way into the distance, we can make out the last snow of winter on the mountains in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our drive today runs parallel, on occasion, with the Camino de Santiago<\/a><\/em> (Way of St. James). It’s a famous and popular walk. There are lots of people doing it today, it looks like hard work. Why? Well… people undertake the Camino de Santiago\u00a0for a mix of spiritual, personal, and physical reasons. While rooted in religious tradition to visit St. James’s shrine, modern pilgrims often seek personal growth, mental clarity, physical challenges, cultural immersion, and social connection with fellow walkers. Well, so they say. We’ll take the motorway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H has found us another free night’s stop in the city of Burgos. We have done well with free stops so far in Spain. They are well-equipped here and make it easy for motorhoming. We are soon parked up, and we quickly set off for the bus into town, which has an elaborate cathedral. We shall see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we got off the bus, we are greeted by a monument to El Cid. You’ve heard of him, right? He was a medieval military leader who became a Spanish national hero. He was famous for his victorious campaigns against the Muslims and Christians, most notably conquering Valencia in 1094. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here in Burgos, as we walk the old close-built streets which are lined with cafes and restaurants, the locals here are really into the coffee culture, and they do it so well. They are all busy outside, people sitting in the open sunshine, enjoying coffee, a glass of wine or a small beer just chatting away. It’s all rather nice, so we decide that we should do the same with a small beer.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We give the cathedral a miss inside. They want 11 euros to go inside, which, considering that most are free of charge, we think is a bit steep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We do walk around it on the outside. It’s very ornate and impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we did find out is that Burgos is Spain’s coldest city. Didn’t feel like it today…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back at Jess, H makes her first Paella of the trip… It is wonderful, made with spicy Spanish Chorizo and the biggest prawns ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Amazing. We finish the dinner off with some blue cheese with the wonderful Rioja wine that we bought in the town of Laguardia on Thursday. Excellent. The night ends with Del getting thrashed at cards. Ah, nothing changes…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Sunday 5th April 2026 (Burgos to Buitrago del Lozoya \u2013 103 miles)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have scrambled eggs with salmon and toast for breakfast before a quick pack-up, a van service, and soon we are away from Burgos and back on the motorway heading due south.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
That famous Spanish bull by the road…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Today, we will stop at Aranda de Duero, a small town which is supposed to be charming. Our drives are quite short these days, so it’s not too long before we are in the town and hunting down yet another free space for the night!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We finally find the parking space, but we are not too keen on it. It’s a bit cramped, and what we have seen of the town on the way in doesn’t really inspire us, unless of course you like old buildings covered in graffiti. We move on. Our next choice is to go to Buitrago del Lozoya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another lovely drive as we climb higher to just over 1000m above sea level. The scenery just gets better. As we get to 1400m, we see more snow-covered mountains off into the distance. The sun is shining, and we are doing 60 mph down a fabulous Spanish motorway. Smashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are about 70 km north of Madrid, and H has found us a nice, quirky campsite\/stop<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. It’s not far from the town of Buitrago del Lozoya. The guy who runs it is so friendly and charming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The place is basically built from repurposed shipping containers, painted and refitted with toilets, showers and a kitchen. For 18 euros, you get a place for the night with electricity and all the services. It’s a great place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to use those bikes that we have hauled all the way from East Cowes… They are off the back, checked through, tyres pumped up, and away we go for the short bike ride into town, which is very cute and very old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Again, people are all out in the sunshine, drinking, chatting and now having lunch, another big social deal here in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back at Jess, we will have our first al fresco dinner. It’s so peaceful and pleasant here. We get ahead and have early showers, clean the van and have dinner. A great day today. We are feeling a bit tired though, so bed early tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new mattress is excellent by the way…! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
