Talavera de la Reina. Was not sure when we arrived and no one here, but 5 spanish vans pulled up shortly after and we were happy.

N502 from Avila to Talavera to avoid backtracking onto Toledo.
Great road. Scenery varied, not much traffic, (sunday), made a note to self to jot it down as a good one.
Reminded us of maroc but better road surfaces!

Yes. Few trucks early morning, then back to sleep. Low overnight rumble from industrial stuff over the rd but we slept ok. Only heard Bomberos twice and that was daytime.
Full service and easy walk to town and restaurants, 15 mins. Bar 50yds, not tried it but looks ok.
Been 6-8 other (spanish) vans each night.
We would stay again.

Sorry no idea but it was not busy when we went round on sunday night.
We parked out front on the road, but got there late morning.

Zoom into the middle for us, but if you follow the road we are pointing down and turn right at the roundabout there is parking near the coaches in the background.

@Dazzlin, thanks for posting. I was planning: Bilbao, Burgos, Segovia, Avila, Merida then Cadiz on out trip south for four months. Will stop at Sepulveda now as well.

We're heading for Cadiz too...but through half of Portugal...we're entering at Ciudad Rodrigo. Love Burgos there's a lovely walk from the campsite along the river...and the Cathedral is amazing. Segovia is beautiful..we stayed on an Aire there it was very crowded but it was Palm Sunday and full of every nationality under the sun......Merida is a good place to shop...there was a wonderful market on when we were there a couple of years ago.....Enjoy:D

We drove to the public car park in Toledo today (7.30 am after having to reverse out yesterday when full!)
Well worth it. Busy day round numerous churches (again) the El Greco museum and the military museum.
Managed to fit in a menu del dia of tripe! Lynne had chicken....

Had the final day of our circuit round Madrid yesterday at Cuenca.
It was my 50th birthday, so after a glass of fizz in the van we walked to the top of the town, for wine and tapas and then just sort of carried on all day. Wine, tapas, wine, tapas, wine and managed not to get bored!

Last pic is my 'slow cooker' Birthday Coffee Cake, knocked up by Lynne that morning.

We have visited in the last two weeks, Segovia, El Escorial, Avila, Talavera de la Reina, Toledo, Aranjuez, Pinto, Madrid, Guadalajara and Cuenca.

Now it is time to head further south, eventually to maroc again in january.
