S6 Ep 15 - Ferry Santander to Portsmouth with dogs - The final leg
This week we set off from Ona in Northern Spain for a short journey to Frias. Frias is the smallest city in Spain and stands on top of a crag with a very impressive castle seamlessly built onto the crag. We did a 8k walk to Tobera to see the monastery and waterfalls.
We left Frias and as the weather was better than expected we changed our minds and took the scenic route down heading towards the northern coast of Spain. This was a mistake as we hadn’t checked the map and there was a big descent for a long period of time. Despite stopping to let the brakes cool down we still hit trouble. Sensing it was time to stop again Dave only just managed to bring the motorhome to a halt before both th...

S6 Ep 14 Burgos and Ona
Просмотров 1984 месяца назад
This week we head from Riaza to stop in Burgos. This is probably one of the most impressive cathedrals we have seen, absolutely stunning and massive. It is well worth a trip to Burgos. We stayed in the free aire in the city and it was fairly quiet (although it was November). From here we headed your the hills to a small town called Ona. The town itself with the monastery is impressive but the w...
S6 Ep 13 Aranjuez Spain
Просмотров 2114 месяца назад
This week we head off in the motorhome from Viso Del Marques to Aranjuez. This ACSI campsite had been recommended to us by a friend. As it was nearing the end of November most facilities (except the shower block were shut) so we didn’t get a full experience but it was located close to the town and the Royal Palace. Unfortunately dogs weren’t allowed in the gardens adjacent to the campsite but t...

This episode sees us leaving Portugal, driving inadvertently straight through Seville, unable to stop at Osuna as weather is just too hot, overnight in windy Antequera, meeting up with friends in Cabopino, staying with family in Nerja and then setting off for the journey home with an overnight at Viso Del Marquez. We are using Co-pilot navigation system which allows you to put in your vehicle d...
S6 Ep 11 Tavira, Portugal
Просмотров 6585 месяцев назад
This week finds us in Tavira on the Algarve. This is our last stop before heading back into Spain in our motorhome. We spent a few days on the aire close to the town and it was a scorcher. The aire was ok and not full with slight train noise but otherwise an OK stop. The town is quaint and there are plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and also a few sights to visit. Motorhoming in Portugal has b...
S6 Ep 10 Alvor in Portugal

This week we are at Alvor, which we absolutely fell in love with. Not only does this town on the Algarve in Portugal have a dog friendly beach but also many bars and restaurants. Each day we walked the dogs along the boardwalk to the stunning golden sandy beach. Unfortunately the waves were ‘too’ large for the dogs to paddle as they were frightened of the waves but they did enjoy getting to the...

This week finds us leaving the winery in Poceiro having played on the swing and with the beautiful blue sky headed for the coast to Zambujeira do Mar. We were finally getting into the chilled out mood and this campsite really helped. The small fishing town is tranquil and lovely. The coastal walks and beautiful sea was amazing. Yes this place recharged our batteries and we would definitely reco...
S6 Ep 9 motorhome to Tomar Portugal and a vineyard!
Просмотров 2866 месяцев назад
This week we move out of Porto and head inland in Portugal to a majestic town called Tomar. We managed to get on the aire at Tomar but it was extremely busy but as we arrived early afternoon we managed to squeeze in. It was so nice to take a leisurely stroll around this charming town with cobbled streets. We decided to leave visiting the Convent of Christ which is a fortified convent on top of ...
S6 Ep 8 Porto, Portugal - is Porto worth a visit?
Просмотров 3116 месяцев назад
We are motorhomers Dave and Tiffany and together with our two dogs we like to travel around Europe. In this series we plan on visiting France, Portugal and Spain before heading back on the ferry from Santander to Portsmouth in late November. This weeks episode we travel across from Chaves to Porto. We had read that it was fairly difficult to get onto the sites around Porto so headed off early i...
S6 Ep 7 Muros to Chaves motorhome Portugal
Просмотров 3166 месяцев назад
This week we leave the ‘heavenly dolphin’ site camping A Vouga near to Mutos and head inland to miss the approaching storm. We stayed at a free aire- free water, showers, and electric - close your Pinor. This aire is really tucked away in what appears to be in the middle of nowhere. Also the walking trails were both difficult to follow and difficult to hike, but we made the most of the weather ...
S6 Ep6 Dolphins Ahoy

This week we travel from A Coruna, the second largest city in Galicia Northern Spain to the most westerly point Cabo Finisterr. We stayed on the aire close to the town cut 10 euros. The friendly owner managed to find Dave for us. We then hiked up to the lighthouse with amazing views of the sea and mountains. From there we headed further south as the weather was on the turn to A Bouga which is n...
S6 Ep 5 Cudilero and A Coruna Northern Spain
Просмотров 3817 месяцев назад
This week we visit the lovely fishing town of Cudillero which is set on the edge of a cliff. A walk from camping cudillero into the town was extremely steep but well worth the visit even if the bar we went to would not serve small drink so we had to share a large. From here we went to the second largest city in Galicia Northern Spain called A Coruna. We stayed on the marina and had a fabulous t...

Unmissable Northern Spain. This week we travel from southern France into northern Spain and stay at a motorhome aire close to the stunning town of Llanes. The town is located on the northern coast of Spain with the glorious Picos mountain range as the backdrop. Great place for hiking and for visiting the amazing northern Spain coast line. The town itself is vibrant with a port/marina and castle...

We leave the tranquil campinc car park of Chateaudun in the Eure-et -Loir in Northern France traveling along the N10 avoiding toll roads wherever possible.

This week we take on the challenge of driving around Rouen in our motorhome in France. Dont forget that now you need a crit air sticker to go to Rouen. We have done this several times in the past and have on the whole manage to avoid the dreaded low underpasses so we do not turn our motorhome into a cabriolet.\ This time there are road works which makes it slightly harder than usual but all is ...

S4 Cost of an epic motorhome adventure to Greece
What’s your problem it’s a road !! lol 😂
Alvor is somewhere we want to try, it looked like quite the trek to the beach from the town? About how long of a walk to get to that nice sandy beach would you say?
We headed for the quieter side due to taking the dogs which probably took about 15-20 mins but you could cut to the lovely big beach much earlier so maybe 10-15 mins max We thoroughly loved Alvor and is one of our favourites- vibrant small town so quiet but with plenty of restaurants etc to enjoy
Lagos is really wonderful actually! We stayed there in 2023 and had the most wonderful time, beautiful beaches and cliffs and boardwalks. We like the quiet but with some options for amenities too, just in case you ever go back I’d recommend giving Lagos a try.
them nobheads standing there annoyed me ha great video
me also her face
Hi. After some training and practice Diva is fine with the coho trailer now. Do you have any tips on removing the rattle that seems to come from the spring suspension?
Beautiful walk around the city, those blue skies ❤ loved seeing the dogs enjoying themselves ❤
Newhaven-- Dieppe???
Correct 😀
Thank you so much for sharing all the details of learning with the Burley Coho. We are thinking of acquiring it for our 13 kg Border Collie and watching your videos I think it will be a good option with some adaptations you propose. Thank you very, very much. Ismael. (bicisenruta)
Why make the unit so ridged they must know dogs don't like all that vibration
We have no idea why suspension isn’t at the very least an option
My Burley Nomad can tip but you have to ride carelessly to make it happen.
We think suspension should be an option. We have been over some rough terrain with the trailers and the fitted suspension with no problems as of yet.
Hi how much was the ferry’s and how many hours is the ferry to Italy thanks
Hi - the ferry cost €364.10 from Greece to Italy and we left around 5pm and arrived at around 10am. We did the camping on board option which we found fine but our friends didn’t get a good night sleep as it also docks in igouminista to pick up other vehicles and they were parked closer to the rear and also on the edge and it did get a bit rough sailing across.
@@Doggonemotorhomeadventures that was cheap what’s the name off the docks was this in , I’m planning go to Greece and Italy this year and thanks for the reply
Patras to Bari - it was the same price igouminista to Bari. It was out of season (right at the end of October) and we booked it a couple of weeks before - I know a couple of weeks to sail beforehand they were fully booked and presumably price would be higher and not sure if they run throughout the winter months.
I love co pilot .only once had a hiccup with it in 12 weeks Spain france and Portugal 7.5 t 13.6 ht 33ft long ❤ great vlog
We had only just started using copilot and had high hopes with the ability to add vehicle dimensions but a few times it has not taken us the most suitable route do the jury is still out for us as we don’t feel completely confident with it. 🤞it’s just a blip
Love Nerja. I used to have a house there. I must get back there this year in my camper van
It’s still one of our favourites 😀
Wow 🤩 going to Alvor in July ❤
Absolutely loved it here - enjoy
That was great, thank you! Spain for us this weekend providing the ferry isn’t cancelled 😎
Exciting times ahead 😄 Weather not looking good until Tuesday so timing travels well
Looks super! Poor you Tiff, you’re one for accidents. Did you book these sites in advance or just rock up? Thanks for the video.
Yep I am a cluts! We didn’t book and just turned up and luckily got on both sites Arrived at Alvor between11-12 so there were spaces. In parque de gala we were very lucky as we managed to get the last one and after that they were being redirected to another site somewhere
Angoleme not Angoleeem
Angoulême even.
Love the area , always stop over on the way south , nice to see the by pass is getting sorted , made the mistake a couple of years ago of going through the centre of Rouen , not the best idea I have had
Defo not the best idea going through Rouen.
Some impressive structures. Thank you!
Chees. It was a lovely spot to explore
Good job.
Thank you!
Con respecto a las "strange structures"😄, son "horreos" se usaban antiguamente para almacenar y conservar alimentos, principalmente cereales. La peculiar forma de sus patas era para evitar que los ratones pudiesen subir y comerse los alimentos que se guardaban dentro de los horreos. Están protegidos por decreto ley desde 1973. El conjunto de horreos que hay en el pueblo de Combarro estan declarados Monumento histórico- artístico. En Galicia y norte de Portugal los construyen de piedra, en Asturias los habréis visto de madera y base cuadrangular, son distintos pero cumplían la misma función proteger y almacenar alimentos antiguamente. Saludos
Thank you for letting us know about the structures and the history 😀
I know where to buy the kit ❤ would you like the link
Yes pls!
Your video is an eye opener!!! I nearly had to go to hospital trying to fit the frame together it so darn hard. 😢😢😢😢😢. Is there a way to make it easier??? 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Excellent! Thank you.
Amazing footage of the dolphins. We arrive I 2 weeks to Santander to visit Spain and Portugal so watching your Vlogs with interest. Thanks
Thank you. Northern Spain was a real delight
I’m loving your videos on a part of Spain I know nothing about it looks amazing
We adore northern Spain - was a real treat to explore and will definitely return as our time there was over way too quickly
Muchos peregrinos que hacen "El Camino de Santiago" después de llegar a Santiago de Compostela continúan camino hasta el Cabo Finisterre. Con respecto a la bota de bronce se trata de un pequeño monumento, una bota de peregrino sobre una roca en el mismo Cabo Finisterre, originalmente eran dos botas juntas, pero una la robaron. El monumento hace referencia a la ancestral tradición de los peregrinos de quemar las ropas usadas en la peregrinación y dejar las botas. Sugerencia; no dejéis de ver, Isla de La toja, Combarro y Baiona en vuestro camino hacia Portugal o el día que podáis en el futuro. Bonito video como siempre.
Thank you for letting us know about the boot - shame the other one has gone. We have fallen in love with Northern Spain and will definitely return to explore more. Your suggestions are appreciated
can I ask why you use the motorways ? the A {N} roads are great and traffic free generally
Hi we generally try to get to the warmth of Spain as quick as possible when we go Feb/March time (and also sometimes meet up with our friends so have little time to wander down through France). On our return leg we spend time meandering through France and use the smaller roads so it depends on what we are doing.
Great question. Using the motorways is an expensive mistake. To do the distances shown on this video using the N roads would have been easy. No red traffic jams either.
@@davidmatthews3093 agree non motorway routes are better and we try to avoid them on the return leg. We do use the n10 which is a great road and we have previously done the d910 but all the roundabouts put us off that route. Each time is an adventure so welcome suggestions.
Bonito video. Yo soy de Asturias y vivo en Oviedo si pasáis por aquí podéis preguntarme. Avanzáis muy rápido y os perdéis sitios de la costa maravillosos, por poner algunos ejemplos; Ribadesella, Lastres, Candas, Luanco, Cabo de Peñas, el Playón de Bayas con 4 km de playa donde está permitido tener a los perros sueltos, Cabo Vidio, "La Playa del Silencio" inigualable, Luarca "la Villa Blanca de la costa Verde" donde nacio Severo Ochoa nobel de medicina, Viavélez, Tapia de Casariego... comer ostras en Castropol.... bufff y me salto muchos sitios. Aunque entiendo que no os puede dar tiempo a ver todo. Saludos cordiales.
Thank you for the suggestions. We loved Northern Spain and will definitely be back to explore further. Unfortunately as we have limited time away and we’re heading for Portugal and Southern Spain to visit our family we didn’t manage to spend much time in northern Spain but we will be back
Serious thigh and knee exercise at your first stop! 💪 thank you!
Absolutely 😀
We used to holiday in L'Esperon, South West France years ago. The thunderstorms regularly rolled off the Pyrenees, and they were huge. The middle of the campsite often flooded due to the amound of rain that came down. We now holiday in sunny Spain🏖🌞. Looking forward to your next vlog
Thank you. It was a massive thunderstorm 😳
That looked a super place, thank you, it’s on our list for April. Last time we did Spain we stopped at Ribadesella just further along from Llanes. Another pretty place but with only a tiny Aire. Cheers Peter&Bev
Do you know the What 3 Words for this Aire please
@@samanthahunter6184 it is coriander.barged.manipulator there is also an area on the opposite side of the road that folks use if the aire is full
@@samanthahunter6184 it is coriander.barged.manipulator
Will put Ribadesella on our list thanks
*promo sm* 🤘
Hi, what time of year are these vlogs please?
Hi we left at the beginning of September 2023. So this one was around 8th September 2023
Was going to ask the same thing as well 😊.
We like the N10. Cheap fuel just off the N10 near Vivonne.
Cheap fuel in France is always good to know about
Hi, great video. France is kind to motorhomes. (The tolls aren’t) we tried to avoid them as much as possibl. Great video. We enjoyed it
Unfortunately sometimes when you’re in a ‘race’ some tolls are unavoidable. We normally like to chill but …
The best advice I can give to get through Rouen is to ignore your sat nav and just follow the signs for Le Mans
Thank you. We did have 3 different ’satnav’ running - the one in the vehicle, google maps and co-pilot. And they always differ with the route at the crucial moment. Dave always tries to pre-plan routes whereas Tiff is always ad hoc which inevitably goes wrong. But then Tiffany doesn’t normally drive 🤦♀️
Looks like they’ve moved the Aire. It used to be right under the chateau and very noisy. This looks like a much better place to stay - although now you have to pay!
Yep now you have to pay and looks like a lot are going that way in France. It was peaceful
Thanks guys. Ive just got my crit aire and my old girl can't go through Rouen anymore so this helps me out alot. Bon voyage 👍
Glad it was of use. Happy travels
Fingers crossed you get the issues sorted asap, then you can hopefully start to chill out and enjoy😁
Thanks for watching. The issues were very stressful and the ferry we caught just amplified our stress unfortunately. We had done this route many times and was usually 4 hour crossing. However when it’s later in the day, as it goes dark the ferry slows, it was in fact a 51/2 hour crossing. There were also way more motorhomes on board than ever before and we had only earmarked the Dieppe ferry. So the stresses just kept on coming.
As usual we have managed to find your channel and start watching the vlogs in reverse, at least we know you had a nice time….now we just need to watch the earlier ones to find out what fun you had. Thanks for sharing guys.
Hi we have just found you and we are here to stay. Thank you for sharing. It was lovely to see the fur babies playing on the beach.
Thank you for watching. Xena and Luna always love a good run around on the beach 😀
A couple of our favourite places enjoyed the vlog
Some of our favourites too
Welcome back to the land of the living computer!
Thanks - we’re so glad one of them is back with us 😅
Dieppe looks like a tidy place, not sure about the Aires tho'
Dieppe was surprisingly nice. Aire is typical standard but good location for the ferry
I used to have a house in Nerja . The motorised paraglider used to land in a property near mine. Love Nerja but a divorce got in the way.
Nerja is one of our favourite destinations
Hi were was that beach
Ondres in France
Just started watching your videos and i am sorry to say that after just one video i do not like the continuous music in the back ground it sometimes over powers your voice as your mikes are not the best, sorry to be so negative but wanted to give some feedback as i had high hopes for your channel
Thank you for getting in touch and for watching. We welcome feedback and in series 5 we were trying out saramonic mikes but unfortunately they kept cutting out on us and we were not impressed. We have since switched to DJI mic so hopefully voice sound will improve but as yet not out to test as having computer issues (laptop definitely my fault as I had not stored it when travelling in the van and it shot across from rear to front and smashed 🤦♀️) the other is unresponsive at present but trying hard to get it fixed). All the best
Chartres is pronounced without the res!
@@ChristineDelfattiAnd that was the least offensive pronunciation.
Great video! I have been using a regular trailer covered. I guess the only issue with open trailer would be the dog might get some dirt on his eyes from the rear tire. As I travelled with my dog, I noticed on a rainy day or dirt road, he had to deal with splash/dirt from rear tire unless he faces backward. Other than that, the single wheel trailer can be a lot more safer on corners! Thank you for the video!
Thank you. We got her some doggles to protect her eyes and she didn’t mind wearing them at all. We all loved if for a year or so and better for narrower trails. However, We now use the burley tail wagon with added suspension for both dogs as I had an accident and no longer felt safe enough to manage the single wheel trailer. Great for smaller dogs but under 18kg but a bit more of a handful for 20+kg dogs I decided following non bike related accident and injury. Added suspension for the trailer is a must for us Enjoy biking with your dog
