We stayed here last night and will be staying tonight. It is a free Aire with water at 3 euros for 10 mins and leccy at 4 euros and hour ! Cassette dump is free.
Probably space for 10 cars but there is adjacent car parking if you have a French attitude and it is full.
There is an alternative...
We are at the free Aire at Meung Sur Loire (which may get it's own journal entry from a quick viewing last night.
The fair was adjacent to us when we pulled in but they were gone by 2200 having shut up shop at 1800.
It is about 20km west of Orleans on the Loire and only the first bridge over...
We made our way in to Bourges from the free Aire about 8km west of Borgues via the canal due berry which is quite a canal at 280 km long and in use up to 1950. The cycle was flat with only 2 locks so uphill on the way in ! First 6km was outstanding perfectly formed and smooth tarmac. Plenty of...
We left marseillan with every intention of going to Pezenas market which we knew was on a Saturday and been before and it is right up there for markets to attend but sat nav took us wrong way on the motorway and it was one of those "millau is bound to have one moments" and we dropped down rather...
We travelled down here yesterday into the Aire as the weather was nicer here than Spain and we needed some good internet for video conference with my occupational health doc who agreed with me I am fit to return to normal 12 hour duties days and nights on my next shift which is Thursday...
We came to Esteve last night for another free Aire with 6 places, free dump, 50 cents for a cassette clean and electricity at 5 euros for 24 hours.
Very quiet night with 5 of us here.
Had a walk around town last night and very very q. No bar open open for me to spend my pesetas.
Set off...
We stayed overnight at the train station at Prat de Comte which is 8 km and 15 minute drive or hours cycle back to the town. Hilly and winding.
No trouble staying there and a German wohnmobile did the same. We saw some french we met the day before stay over at Bot Station and it would seem all...
Quick walk round the picturesque village and getting bread from the shop revealed a lovely little village.
When we paid our 2 euros in the bar we think he told us the swimming pool wasn't open so whether that is included in your 2 euros or not we don't know.
Filled with water and ablutions...
We stayed at simat and went to the free monastery about a pitching wedge away.
It was started in 1298 and various bits at various times were added including being overseen by the Borgas. It fell into disrepair and was bought by Valencia who have returned several previously claimed goodies.
But...
Having spent 4 days and nights without services a move away from our lovely spot 50.yards from the beach seemed necessary.
Our cunning plan was to come straight to Simat but a last minute review on S4S noted the toilet dump was closed by police earlier in the month.
We didn't want to take a...
We had the app to assist us as to the locations of these Ninots that will all be burnt Tuesday night. Some are still being built.
Paula even managed to be ready to leave at 0900 and off we set ..... Til my front tyre was flat. Quick change of inner tube in the pits and off we went.
We headed...
Looked for something a bit different today other than Valencia.
We went off south on the bikes, no real bike tracks on the maps but they are there !
We just sort of followed the road out til we got to a chained off piece of road but cyclists were coming the other way and what is good for the...
Here is a precise what3words address, made of 3 random words. Every 3 metre square in the world has its own unique what3words address.

Location above.
This is my interpretation of what I think I know.
The Fallas of Valencia is on March...
We left our spot this morning and picked up LPG at 83 cents and made our way to a free Aire which is probably as close to Valencia as you can get. It's slightly to the north and reviews were mixed. Having negotiated the roads of Valencia to get there we were met with a very bumpy surface with a...
We left Geldo which we have decided is a spot on Aire. We abused the free water and dump so fully self sufficient forb4 nights (without curry)
Travelled down to Segunto which is about 6km inland from the med.
Found the Aire and nothing wrong with it at all. There are no facilities and it is...
Weather showed a bit more promise today but there were still dark clouds about but a 🌈 has to be taken as a positive at the moment which is what we got this morning.
We decided this route but only planned on going as far as Torres Torres because coming back today would be uphill and it was a...
Inclement weather and not knowing when, for how long and how hard it would rain left us with little to do so an afternoon easy cycle up the road to Segorbe from Geldo was the plan we executed.
The cycle way is partitioned off most of the way which is flat til you get to the outskirts of Segorbe...
An overcast and intermittent rainy morning at Geldo had us considering our options as we are running out of milk, cereal and main evening meals and tomorrow is a Sunday
Having found a few urban art walls we went for some physio walking round the town between showers.
We came across the...
Left Teruel and went to venta del Aire in the hope to be able to cycle from there but upon arrival we formed the judgement that leaving our van alone for the day wasn't the best plan.
We swapped the contents of our cassette for fresh water for free though.
We moved on to Geldo, arriving to...
We got here last night about 1600 and took up one of the last places. Today we got back from our cycle at 1600 hrs and it was full. An overflow in the huge truck park next door has been created.
It was half empty this morning at 1000 hrs and staying is limited to 3 days.
Next to the Aire is...

We have heard of this place but never been so decided to give it a go and see what the score is. Hold your breath, we paid. It's only 7.50 for 2...
More Journals from suavecarve
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.
This holiday will be 28 days...
Intending to travel from around l'Orient down to as far as Ile de Re leaving on the overnight ferry from Newhaven on the night of 27th August.
In my signature you will find a couple of journals from this year, Bavaria and Languedoc, and some previous places I have added retrospectively under...
A collection of noteworthy previous stopovers and/or places we have visited worthy of consideration within France.
Having done a few journals and one "live" one and listened to the feedback that it is more preferential for most to enjoy a thread with interaction rather than page clicking, I am going to try the Thrournal, a thread and journal and better sounding than a Jouread which might make me sound a bit...
These are the places we have been to previously in Germany with information taken from previously posted material by ourselves.
We havent done a lot of Italy and I am unsure of how many photos we took but created for when we return. We had a friend there and left our van at her place while I flew back for a couple of weeks work
I have already posted about these and created a journal, but the journal was created incorrectly and the map part of things didnt work so Jim destroyed them at my request and am slowly but surely adding them up. Apologies if you have seen them before.
Belgium not as boring as one has always...
There is a thread of all the disused railway lines we have cycled on our travels on ebikes.
If all goes to plan, I just put the link in here on the journal and add the location and there will be a map of where we have cycled created and a link to the photos and the spiel I wrote about them at...
Having done a journal "Languedoc 28 days"
It felt inappropriate to put Sully sur la Loire into it.
We have about a week left so have created this one for here and we will be between Paris and Dieppe somewhere for next week.
Photos guaranteed, cycling highly likely and highly likely on a voie...
