Van tour: this bus will make you want to live in a bus

August 3, 2016 by Mike 48 Comments

When I was in Tarifa, Spain (see Tarifa the place for van life) my neighbours were a family of 3 living in a big blue bus. Meet Danny and Cristyn and their kid Felix. They spent 5 months last summer in the UK converting this old bus into their travelling home and now they live here.  […]

Tarifa, Spain. A place for van life

July 20, 2016 by Mike 28 Comments

I got off the boat from Morocco (See: 3 months in morocco by campervan) and randomly stopped in the nearest town, Tarifa, in the South of Spain. I met a load of other vanners and stayed for a few weeks. I love this place. Let me show you some of Tarifa. Come here if you’re in a van! […]

How to get from Spain to Morocco by campervan – in 4 steps

January 8, 2016 by Mike 22 Comments

I crossed from Spain to Morocco in my van on Christmas day (after my christmas breakfast – see video). This was a bit different to all the other European crossings that I’m used to so I thought I’d do a post to help anyone who wants to do this in a van or vehicle. There […]

Vanlife – Christmas breakfast video

January 1, 2016 by Mike 18 Comments

After Portugal (see post) I found a nice lake in Spain (Embalse de Barbate) to spend some of Christmas day. Here’s a 3 minute video of Christmas morning in my van: I spent the other half of the day getting to Morocco – I will make a separate post on this. So this was my second […]

The glacial lakes of Northern Spain – 19 photos

December 13, 2015 by Mike 6 Comments

I was driving west just north of the Picos De Europa Mountains in Northern Spain (Asturian region) and headed to some lakes that I thought looked interesting on the map. I found out when I got there that these are the Covadonga lakes – two stunning glacial lakes sitting at an altitude of 1134m in the mountains. […]

Goodbye Spain – here are some my favourite bits

May 13, 2014 by Mike 2 Comments

I love Spain but it’s time to zoom out of the map and say goodbye. This country is so easy to free-camp, it has been a great introduction to van living. Here are some of my favourite bits from the past 2 months in Spain and Portugal: The two week rave The monkeys in the […]

Where to free-camp in Barcelona

May 11, 2014 by Mike 1 Comment

We’ve free-camped pretty much every major city in Spain but the last and by far the most challenging city to drive around and free-camp was Barcelona. Having spent a full afternoon driving around the city, beach and port to look for parking we decided that free-camping in the actual city is near to impossible. We […]

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 […]

Spot of the month (april)

April 30, 2014 by Mike 1 Comment

We’ve been ignoring the list of ‘Europe wild-camping spots’ (see post) recently to find our own places.  I was excited to find such a great spot from looking for clues on the map (e.g. dead-end grey roads through a lake) and driving to it. It is always hit and miss but I think I’m starting […]
