A break in the journey in Spain

Never get to see enough of Spain, its always a big rush on the way down to get to warmer places, then on the return you just want to get home.
I decided to try another route with a break on the way. I drove from Malaga to Murcia inland passing the big mountains around Granada which has dramatic scenery.



I ended up on the Costa Blanca at Calpe for a few nights. Its a very built up coastline but with lots of rugged bays and hills, a good workout each day on the bike.








Then driving past Valencia to Zaragoza and crossing through the Pyrenees via the Somport tunnel to Pau into France. Suddenly much chillier as there was still snow on the higher mountains.

Now spending the night in  a favourite spot, the lovely small town Vivonne, near Poitiers, where they provide free Camper van parking right in the centre next to an excellent bakery and with free wifi from the adjoining tourist office.
