France – Gémenos
We went to Gémenos because it was only 20 kilometres from Marseille and we'd seen that you could catch a bus from the campsite, but nothing went as planned. We didn't know that Gemenos was nestled at the foot of…
Travel journal
Our journey around Europe by motorhome, post by post and newest first: where we went, where we parked and what we thought.
France – Béziers
Béziers is a city near Narbonne, and we liked it much more than Narbonne itself. It's one of the oldest cities in France, very lively, with a beautiful park surrounded by statues of poets and sculptors, as well as a…
France – Narbonne
Narbonne is bisected by the Canal de la Robine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is famous for its historical heritage. What we enjoyed most was its lively canalside market and the picturesque Passage de l'Ancre, located next to the…
France – Leucate
Leucate is a fishing village located on a peninsula between the Mediterranean Sea and the Leucate Lagoon. The lagoon is beautiful, with houses and boats lining its shores. Leucate's harbour is quite lively with bars, restaurants, and shops. But the…
France – Collioure
We went to Collioure because our friend María José told us we had to, since it's beautiful. So, following her advice, we went, and it's stunning, as you'll see in the photos.
France – Port-Vendres
Port-Vendres is 20 km from the Spanish border, and we chose to visit it because it appears to be a charming fishing village, known for its secluded coves, harbour, and military heritage, most notably Fort Béar. You can also visit…

Spain – Llanca
We went to Llançà because it's 20 km from the French border and has a free motorhome area. The town is very small but very pretty. Highlights include the old town, with the Church of Sant Vicenç and its Romanesque…
Spain – Roses
As I mentioned in my last blog post, we went to see Roses on the motorbike. Roses has an impressive citadel, a lively seafront promenade, and a beach with views of Empuriabrava.
Spain – Empuriabrava
We chose Empuriabrava because it had a better and cheaper motorhome area than Roses, and we could visit Roses from there. To our surprise, upon arrival, we discovered that Empuriabrava is the Venice of Spain. The entire town is crisscrossed…
Spain – Santa Pau
We visited Santa Pau because we had heard it was one of the 10 most beautiful towns in the province of Girona, and it didn't disappoint. Santa Pau stands out as a historical and artistic monument. The views from the…
Spain – Maçanet de la Selva
We went to spend Valentine's Day in Maçanet de la Selva, in Girona. The only thing I'd heard about this place was that it had a beautiful Romanesque church and lots of walking trails. I was surprised by how small…
Spain – Cambrils
We went on the motorbike to Cambrils, a coastal town that surprised us with its port and its seafront promenade, the liveliest area of Cambrils, with many interesting things and a wide range of bars and restaurants.
