The aire is free at st Cirq Lapopie up to 1st April so ideal for us. Loads of space in 2 areas we parked by the borne overlooking the river and beach area nearby.
We traveled in from Cahors direction and although it is not exactly a route des cretes it is a route not to rush in case of incoming...
Located purely by accident but we knew luzech was 20 km cycle from Cahors and generally following the river. We found it on a half cycle day when we saw the bridge and hey ho it joined our cycle route.
It is not flat but is a cracking surface and long freewheeling was enjoyed without having to...
We found this aire via P4N app with good reviews and it has dump and water facilities as well as rubbish within 50m and it's alongside the lot with space for about 15 on flattish hard stone.
It is on the lot cycle route and Cahors is 20 km away via partly disused railway line. The interesting...
Tournon d'agenais was not on our hit list but as we approached this imposing hilltop village it grabbed our attention. Then it grabbed more attention as we saw a Beaux village sign then it got all our attention with an aire on the main road.
Quick MHF search revealed 200 steps to go up to the...
The aire at st Sylvester is free and P4N reviews suggest it's noisy because of a diversion. That appears to be over and the road has little to no traffic overnight. About 8 spots with overflow available in the intermarche where the steep sided dump and water is located. Pretty much nothing else...
From the base at Caumont we headed eastwards right alongside the canal that was tree lined throughout with an occasional steep very short rise to go over a bridge. The solid path was rickety in places but generally good.
Our first stop was mas d'agenais at the church which was well sign posted...
Another day in France another lovely cycle.
From our canal side base of Caumont sur garonne we went 6 km north west ish hugging the canal until the red bridge then found the best surface in ages on the disused railway line from Marmande to Casteljaloux which is 22 km long and probably only 3 km...
With inclement weather from Spain coming into the French coast and inland the decision was for this free aire right alongside the canal de garonne which joins the canal du midi to form the Atlantic to Med canal or as we know it cycle path.
As we approached via casteljoux we saw a voie vert which...
We seriously had enough of Spains weather and shot over to Jaca before dropping down to Los ondres where we paid 16 euros a night for a couple of nights of warm sun, less wind and ability to put our chairs out and relax.
70 spaces with many trailers in attendance it is 400 m from the beach which...
I sort of knew Cartagena was originally Carthage but did confirm it via wiki.
It's about 25 km from Los alcazares on roads but wide enough for little concern via la union. There are hills which are beyond slope but only a 70m rise. Cartagena itself had a dedicated cycle route but very little...
We used this as a base for 4 nights.
The aire is an old bus station with some tight parking but there is a picnic table along with free facilities which cause quite a queue in the morning. It is walking distance to the town and possible to cycle both ways to the other end of the eating as well...
We saw the start of beach motorhome park at villaricos whilst on the bikes but recent heavy rain, deep tyre marks in sand and a deep descent put us off. This was the entrance point nearest villaricos.
Upon returning to our van we were told you can enter this area better right next to the repsol...
The aire with free dump and water is so new it doesn't appear on my Google satellite picture or have a location on there but it is in front of the police station next to a small park and impossible to miss. About 10 parking spaces which are very tight. Unfortunately wifi was a bit of a miss...
We dropped down from the 1000m+ rather damp crossing to about 300m at Huercal Overa and immediately felt warmth, but of dry and some blue sky. Puddles suggested we were lucky.
The aire is large, slightly sloping, occasional damp patch but shed loads of space.
Be warned about the Sunday market...
Reviews on P4N are sometimes to be taken with a tablespoon of salt. Why didn't they make it flat ? As an example. True it is slightly sloping, but not enough for blocks and we can change our bed from north to east if necessary.
It's a new aire on perfect tarmac with free facilities and best...
Quite a long via Verde so we chose Baza aire which is actually in Caniles and about 2km from the cycle route.
We had noted recent issues on P4N about youths throwing objects at the motorhomes and the place being full with plenty turning away from MHF so we got there just after 1100 with only...
This disused railway line is marked up as a cycle route and part of the Aciete line that goes to Jaen and beyond as well as eastwards but not all of it is cycleable according to maps.
We headed off east from Ubeda to see how passable it would be on bikes not overly suited to rough off roading...
Just 10km east of Baeza we parked in the official aire by the guardia college which is fenced in and the free water and dump has been well used. It's a fairly flat walk to town with the historic part over the other side with numerous aesthetic architectural buildings making it more than a worthy...
A search on MHF revealed only a few mentions but all really positive so we came to the dedicated free full service aire behind the bus station and at 1600 hrs it was full. Possibly holds about 20 but there is a vantage point and overnight parking on the road opposite where you can prime yourself...
We are getting cold and wet weather so we looked on ventusky and could see what is probably a valley that runs from Seville via Cordoba to Jaen where it is at least warmer than everywhere else.
The "aire" is absolutely nothing to shout about but right next to the police station. No facilities...

It is that time of year when we go on holiday and I do a journal. I call it a thrournal as I start with a journal and copy it into a thread. Hopefully others will do journals in the upcoming period as well. And the journal map is very helpful for holiday planning.
