We drove<\/span> a bit<\/span> further<\/span> north and are<\/span> now<\/span> in<\/span> the town<\/span> of Villanueva<\/span> del<\/span> Arzobispo<\/span> and<\/span> for<\/span> the<\/span> first<\/span> time<\/span> on<\/span> a<\/span> special<\/span> camper<\/span> place<\/span>.<\/span> It<\/span> seems<\/span> that<\/span> you<\/span> are<\/span> not<\/span> allowed<\/span> to<\/span> develop<\/span> camping<\/span> activities<\/span> there<\/span> but<\/span> everyone<\/span> just<\/span> does<\/span> the<\/span> same<\/span> thing<\/span> so<\/span> this<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> bit<\/span> of<\/span> nonsense<\/span>.<\/span> Furthermore<\/span>,<\/span> it<\/span> is<\/span> just<\/span> a<\/span> moderate<\/span> place<\/span> in<\/span> the middle<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> village<\/span> but<\/span> we<\/span> didn<\/span>‘<\/span>t<\/span> feel<\/span> like<\/span> driving<\/span> after<\/span> 300<\/span> km<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tomorrow we just<\/span> go<\/span> another<\/span> 350<\/span> km<\/span> north<\/span> and then<\/span> stay<\/span> for<\/span> a<\/span> day<\/span> or so so<\/span> that<\/span> we<\/span> can<\/span> walk<\/span> and<\/span> \/<\/span> or<\/span> cycle<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Driving here<\/span> we were<\/span> amazed<\/span> by<\/span> the<\/span> huge<\/span> olive<\/span> tree<\/span> plantations<\/span> because<\/span> we<\/span> drove<\/span> 300<\/span> km<\/span> through<\/span> them<\/span>.<\/span> The<\/span> trees<\/span> were<\/span> everywhere<\/span>,<\/span> regularly<\/span> interrupted<\/span> by<\/span> farms<\/span> or<\/span> beautiful<\/span> white<\/span> towns<\/span>.<\/span> We<\/span>‘<\/span>re<\/span> definitely<\/span> going<\/span> to try<\/span> to<\/span> score<\/span> some<\/span> olive<\/span> oil<\/span> here<\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After a<\/span> few<\/span> months<\/span> of<\/span> traveling<\/span> around<\/span> with<\/span> the<\/span> camper<\/span> in<\/span> Europe<\/span>,<\/span> we<\/span> started<\/span> dividing<\/span> our fellow travellers<\/span> into<\/span> groups<\/span> because<\/span> nothing<\/span> is<\/span> more<\/span> fun than<\/span> judging<\/span> others<\/span>,<\/span> right<\/span>?<\/span> The<\/span> difference<\/span> with Africa<\/span> is enormous<\/span> because<\/span> there<\/span> camping<\/span> (<\/span>with<\/span> tent<\/span>,<\/span> caravan<\/span> or<\/span> camper<\/span>)<\/span> is<\/span> really<\/span> an<\/span> adventure<\/span> in<\/span> nature<\/span>.<\/span> Well<\/span>, on<\/span> excellent<\/span> campsites<\/span> with<\/span> spacious<\/span> pitches<\/span>, but<\/span> adventure<\/span> is paramount<\/span> and<\/span> that<\/span> is<\/span>, from<\/span> what<\/span> we<\/span> have<\/span> seen<\/span> so<\/span> far<\/span>,<\/span> different<\/span> in<\/span> Europe<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For example<\/span>,<\/span> you<\/span> have<\/span> the<\/span> luxury<\/span> camperowner who<\/span> moves<\/span> in<\/span> a<\/span> large or<\/span> very<\/span> large<\/span> integral<\/span> camper<\/span> equipped<\/span> with<\/span> all<\/span> conveniences<\/span> such<\/span> as<\/span> air<\/span> conditioning<\/span>, satellite<\/span>,<\/span> solar<\/span> panels<\/span> and<\/span> so<\/span> on<\/span>.<\/span> These<\/span> buses<\/span> are so<\/span> large<\/span> that<\/span> they are parked<\/span> at<\/span> the campsite<\/span> after<\/span> which<\/span> they<\/span> are<\/span> toured<\/span> on<\/span> the<\/span> E-bike<\/span>,<\/span> E<\/span>–<\/span>scooter<\/span> or<\/span> scooter<\/span>.<\/span> The<\/span> owner<\/span> is usually<\/span> 65<\/span>–70<\/span> years<\/span> or<\/span> older<\/span> and<\/span> one<\/span> travels<\/span> through<\/span> Europe<\/span> with like<\/span>–<\/span>minded<\/span> travelers<\/span> with the aim<\/span> of<\/span> seeing<\/span> as many<\/span> well<\/span>–<\/span>known<\/span> places<\/span> as<\/span> possible with<\/span> enormous<\/span> haste<\/span> because<\/span> who<\/span> knows<\/span> when<\/span> it<\/span> is<\/span> no<\/span> longer<\/span> possible<\/span>.<\/span> Often<\/span> these<\/span> are<\/span> Germans<\/span> or<\/span> Swiss<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then you<\/span> have<\/span> the camperowner who like to stay in the South in winter.<\/span> He<\/span> drives<\/span> in<\/span> a<\/span> somewhat<\/span> older<\/span> camper<\/span>,<\/span> usually<\/span> with an<\/span> alcove<\/span> with<\/span> the older <\/span>bikes on<\/span> the<\/span> back<\/span>.<\/span> Looking<\/span> for cheap<\/span> places<\/span> and<\/span> then<\/span> quickly<\/span> to<\/span> a<\/span> nice<\/span> bar<\/span> or<\/span> restaurant<\/span> because<\/span> there<\/span> is<\/span> not<\/span> much<\/span> money<\/span>.<\/span> The<\/span> destination<\/span> is<\/span> irrelevant<\/span> as long<\/span> as<\/span> the<\/span> sun<\/span> is<\/span> shining<\/span> and<\/span> prices<\/span> are<\/span> low<\/span>.<\/span> It<\/span> seems<\/span> like<\/span> they<\/span> are<\/span> here<\/span> against<\/span> their<\/span> will<\/span> and<\/span> maybe<\/span> a<\/span> little<\/span> to<\/span> keep<\/span> up<\/span> appearances<\/span>….<\/span> The<\/span> Dutch and<\/span> British<\/span> lead<\/span> this<\/span> group<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then you<\/span> have<\/span> the young<\/span> people<\/span> with children<\/span> who<\/span> drive<\/span> all<\/span> kinds<\/span> of<\/span> (<\/span>usually<\/span> rental<\/span>)<\/span> campers<\/span> and<\/span> are<\/span> clearly<\/span> looking<\/span> for<\/span> the<\/span> best<\/span> way<\/span> to<\/span> have<\/span> a<\/span> holiday<\/span> with<\/span> their<\/span> offspring<\/span>.<\/span> They<\/span> find<\/span> out<\/span> at<\/span> the campsite<\/span> that<\/span> they<\/span> need<\/span> transport<\/span> to<\/span> the beach<\/span>, the shops<\/span>,<\/span> the<\/span> amusement<\/span> parks<\/span> and<\/span> so<\/span> on<\/span>.<\/span> Here<\/span> you<\/span> can<\/span> see<\/span> many<\/span> nationalities<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A minority<\/span> is<\/span> the group<\/span> of<\/span> campers<\/span> with<\/span> whom<\/span> we<\/span> feel<\/span> reated<\/span>, namely<\/span> the<\/span> travelers<\/span>.<\/span> For<\/span> us<\/span>,<\/span> the camper<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> way<\/span> to<\/span> travel<\/span> through<\/span> Europe<\/span> and taste<\/span> the<\/span> atmosphere<\/span> of<\/span> other cultures<\/span> and<\/span> in<\/span> other<\/span> countries<\/span>.<\/span> Occasionally<\/span> we visit<\/span> beautiful<\/span> but busy<\/span> places like<\/span> yesterday<\/span> in Ronda<\/span> but<\/span> much<\/span> more<\/span> often<\/span> we<\/span> are<\/span> in<\/span> lonely<\/span> places<\/span> with<\/span> a<\/span> few<\/span> walking<\/span> or<\/span> cycling<\/span> paths<\/span> nearby<\/span>.<\/span> We<\/span> both<\/span> like<\/span> the<\/span> visit<\/span> to<\/span> a<\/span> local<\/span> supermarket<\/span> while<\/span> I<\/span> have<\/span> murderous<\/span> tendencies<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> Netherlands<\/span> when<\/span> I<\/span> go<\/span> shopping<\/span> with<\/span> Lisa<\/span>.<\/span> We<\/span> almost<\/span> never<\/span> know<\/span> where<\/span> the<\/span> next<\/span> campsite<\/span> is<\/span>;<\/span> I determine<\/span> that<\/span> (<\/span>yes<\/span>,<\/span> my<\/span> task<\/span>)<\/span> quite<\/span> simply<\/span> based<\/span> on<\/span> how<\/span> far<\/span> I<\/span> want to drive<\/span> and<\/span> which<\/span> direction<\/span> we<\/span> want<\/span> to<\/span> go<\/span>.<\/span> Lisa<\/span>\u2019s requirements<\/span> largely<\/span> correspond<\/span> to<\/span> mine<\/span> so<\/span> usually<\/span> this<\/span> goes<\/span> well<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tonight we eat<\/span> here<\/span> somewhere<\/span> in a local<\/span> restaurant<\/span> and<\/span> tomorrow<\/span> we<\/span> go<\/span> north<\/span> in<\/span> search<\/span> of<\/span> a<\/span> nice<\/span> walking<\/span> spot<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
