Left Vilanova in sunshine and blue skies, seemed a little strange having been there for over two weeks but we’re all looking forward to finding new places and going further south! We headed back towards Barcelona Airport and found the garage that we hoped sold LPG, it did and after a few minutes of head scratching sorting out which adapter to use (we had to use the Italian adaptor not the Spanish one!), we filled up the tanks and topped up Bella with diesel while we were there. It’s definitely cheaper here, Diesel is about £1 per litre maybe a little less and LPG under 50p a litre. Having finished we began looking for a way to head south along the toll road, but with nothing obvious we decided to head for the airport, they always have plenty of roundabouts….don’t they? After doing a loop around an airport carpark we still couldn’t see a single sign for the way out! We decided to follow the route the buses were taking as they must leave at some point? They do but via the front of the terminals, we had to laugh as only a few days ago whilst picking up Em we had joked “Glad we didn’t have to bring the motorhome along here”. We did acquire a few strange looks from taxi drivers and passengers but found our way out past zone C where Emma flew from!
The rest of the journey was uneventful having decided to take the toll road south to enable us to get to Peniscola at a reasonable time. The scenary was great, mountain ranges to our right (and occasionally in front as we drove through them via tunnels) and the Med to our left. At one time the outside temperature read 80!
We found the campsite easily enough and checked in for few nights. The site is quite small but very clean and the pitches are large enough for us, level and covered in imitation grass! The showers are hot and clean as well as being nice and close. The site has an American feel to it with cabins and a huge neon sign illuminated at night above the lovely but expensive Spa.
