All Towing Posts – This tag marks all posts where we were travelling between stopping sites while towing the caravan. It does not include sightseeing trips.
On Friday we made the final step of our journey back up to Barcelona to catch the ferry to Italy by returning to Vilanova Park in Vilanova i la Geltrú, a trip of 200km on non-toll autovia. The ferry to Civitavecchia, near Rome, is booked for 22:30 on Tuesday and the docks are only a 45 minute tow from the campsite. We arrived early afternoon and were allocated a large quiet pitch which, as is usual here, had electric hookup, water & waste all on pitch. Too easy! 🙂
Continuing the journey north toward Barcelona docks we chose another Camping Card site that we had not visited before, Ribamar Camping in the Sierra De Irta Natural Park.

Backtracking down the winding road from El Berro passed without incident although there was noticeably more traffic this time including two trucks that we fortunately met on wider sections of the road.
Within a half hour we were cruising on non toll Autovia including a long section of brand new road that the Ford navigation knew nothing about despite the map upgrade I purchased recently. Continue reading Ribamar Camping→
This morning we packed up the caravan and loaded the car ready to move on and continue with our tour. We decided to move up to Camping Sierra Espuña, a site we had not visited before. The reviews of the site were very good despite dire warnings of quite narrow approach roads.
Our plan for the next couple of weeks is to make our way back to Barcelona docks and take the Grimaldi Lines ferry to Rome. Camping Sierra Espuña would be a good stepping stone in that direction.
Today we casually packed up to make our way back to the Malaga Monte Parc site in Alhaurin de la Torre, close to Malaga airport. Last Easter they agreed to store the caravan for a couple of weeks while we flew home and we were hoping they would agree to help us again.

The route involved a back track down the A-45 Autovia before joining the A-46 Autopista, toll road, down into Malaga.
The caravan was possibly the dirtiest it had ever been after a week under the trees at Camping La Albolafia but we had noticed a nearby car wash with a convenient gantry that would make it easy to give a good pressure wash all over, so we headed straight there.
Last year, while we were in southern Spain, Kim had expressed the wish to visit Córdoba but somehow we skirted all around without ever visiting. Thinking we would fix this omission we headed up toward this famous city.
