since 2006 ( I think ! )
Was warned a couple of times by different folk in March ( had no update so may be no longer valid ) that there is a small 'gang' working the Valladolid area, targeting overnighting motorhomes..
It was suggested we do not stop within 20 mile range of the place..

Should have mention it before but forgot... was just reminded of it by the boss

Villasol do not normally take bookings, unless they are for a long stay.
We will be there before Xmas and will keep you informed of pitch
availability if you wish.

Just a point to bear in mind. The latest Avtec televisions don't have an Analog feature anymore, OK you can tune to a satellite more easily but down in Spain you will need an 8ft diameter dish to receive any decent British picture. The Villa Sol camp site plug in posts incorporate a TV socket that couples to their Satellite system that's tuned into 3 British stations BUT you will need an Anolog facility on your TV. When we go in the new year we'll be taking our older Avtec with us.
