It’s just me and the van

May 21, 2014 by Mike 4 Comments

Wild camping with flamingos

May 2, 2014 by Mike Leave a Comment

We’re slowly making our way out of Spain, up the coast, with Barcelona as our last planned stop to see a friend. We were intrigued by a little strip of land on the map. It looks like an interesting wild camping spot so we went and had a look. This whole area forms the delta […]
