We are not that impressed with the food in Spain, not in general anyway. Of course, we understand that you can find great food here, especially if you visit someone's grandmother or know which restaurant to go to.

We found a fun blog challenge from blogger Mary af Rövarhamn and joined in! The challenge is to post 10 travel photos on predetermined themes. It wasn't easy to choose the pictures, but it was fun to search the archives.

This beach, at the El Templo del Sol naturist campsite southwest of Tarragona, is long and surrounded by a hilly green landscape. Of course, this judgement is entirely subjective and the comparison is only based on the beaches we've happened to visit.
Read moreAfter a hectic festival week and a week of pouring rain, we felt the need for a more luxurious and comfortable campsite. We have now found a super nice campsite called El Templo del Sol, a bit southwest of Tarragona.

A long promenade runs along the waterfront, along which there are countless restaurants, cafes and bike hire shops.

Read moreNow we are standing on a pitch in Valencia here in Spain, namely Valencia Camper Park. We have left Benidorm behind us and are looking forward to a few days with a really colourful festival. Right now there is a calm before the storm, so to speak. And this campsite in Valencia is perfect for resting!
Read moreAs you may know, we live in a houseboat at home in Stockholm. Very cosy we think! You are always close to the water and in the summer you can jump straight down for a swim. In a press release, the holiday home agent NOVASOL now says that they are increasing their range of floating holiday homes.
Read moreEvery Tuesday evening Norwegians and Swedes meet in Benidorm at the El Raco campsite, at the campsite's restaurant. We live on the neighbouring campsite, but were invited by Kjell and Solveig who have the blog Kjell and Solveig's motorhome blog (http://fahlen.info/). The whole three long tables were laid out in the restaurant and it was a nice dinner.
