- in this video we discover Denia in Spain and we are wowed!
The place has so much to offer for motorhomers, especially motorhomers who like tapas!
The castle is a bargain to visit and there are plenty of options for free stopovers.
We are Paul and Corrin, and along with our two magnificent travel hounds Pippa Poodle and Dolly Doodle we have come to Spain to spend a couple of months exploring and enjoying, hopefully the good weather!

Mr Reds, it was tights last week and now it’s Mrs Reds melons. I don’t think you should be talking about Mrs Reds attributes at this time of day😇😇 it’s really nice to see you both looking well and happy again 🙏🙏Jon 🇦🇺
🥰😂thanks Jon, nearly bought some plums at the market too 🤭😂
Glad you liked Denia my aunt lives there isn’t she lucky! ❤ love your videos and the dogs xx
Aww Thankyou so much 🥰🥰🐩🐩🐾🐾 your Aunt is very lucky to live in such a beautiful place xx
You should have had garlic alioli with the anchovies. Fantastic! Glad you are enjoying yourself. De-beard the mussels first then into a pot with onion, garlic, and white wine, hot of course. Tip in mussels, lid back on. 2 minutes and they are ready. They will have opened. Crusty bread to dip in. Yum yum. Xx
Hi Alison ! Some great and mouthwatering tips there ! ❤️🥰thanks very much xx
I had a Rick Stein cooking experience as a gift from my daughters last year in Padstow Cornwall. And the head chef teaching us explained that if a fresh mussel is slightly open don't right it off. Tap it gently on the worktop if it's still alive it will close. So it will be fine to cook and eat. Great vlogs guys.
Aww Thankyou 🥰🇪🇸🌞 great tip there too, catch the dodgy ones playing dead 😂 ❤️
Hi. Loving your vlogs from sunny Spain. Glad to hear Dolly getting better. Just a tip about mussels, after you’ve eaten one use the empty clam as pinchers to get the rest out. I love mussels, yet to convert Brian 😂
Aww Thankyou 🥰 Dolly is so much better Thankyou ! 🐩🐾 and great tip about the mussels , much appreciated xx keep working on Brian 😂
As you head down the coast head up to Castell de Guadalest, the drop in to villajoyosa, Alicante is worth a visit, follow the 332 down the coast - lots of interesting places. Skip Torrevieja, cut in at San Pedro del pinatar and explore the Mar Menor. Spend some time around here - cabo de palos is lovely. Cartagena is wonderful, so much to explore - Google the old bateria's then make your way to Port de mazarron.
Another must is Mojacar - not just the playa but head up in to the village.
Amazing 🥰 really appreciate all your recommendations, so many places to see , we love the old towns and history .. all sounds right up our street 🥰❤️ much appreciated 🙂
I once got ill off a dodgey cooked mussel I lost a stone in a week enjoy 💩😂
Your Living the dream guys good effort 👌
🫣💩💩 oh sh@t , good grief … that sounds , well…. Like it is 💩 .. thanks for stopping by and sharing your wonderful story 😂 but seriously, Thankyou ❤️
We absolutely loved Denia as well! We were there in December, and had 2 nights in each of the aires you went to. If you want a good Indian takeaway, there's one on the roundabout by the marina park-up called Rani Palace.
If you go along the main road and pass the 2nd marina, there's a lovely raised walkway going around the back of the marina. A great bar there overlooking the water.
It’s lovely isn’t it ! We have had a good walk over the last few days and found the walkway , it’s fab xx , we love Indian but we are on a tapas tour and it’s not stopping anytime soon 😂 thanks for commenting xx
That looked like a nice area. I love all seafood, see it eat it 😂😋
😂👌I know that feeling too well 😬
When they're cooked, you mustn't eat the ones that stayed closed. Only eat the opened ones. 😋
Thankyou ❤️ much appreciated x
Yes , loved that one Redders's , I'm on catch up , missed one somewhere but I'll find it . We've come to a standstill in Benicassim but we love it here so we'll put our feet up for a few weeks and let you youngsters do the racing around and we'll watch you do it on here . Take care all , love from the older Redders's .
😂🥰love that you loved it ! Enjoy putting your feet up , still running around, but the pace is slowing 👌😂 younger Redders out x
Stunning scenery from the castle! Looks an amazing place, doggies enjoying it just as much as you both. Have fun. Xx ❤
🥰❤️Thankyou , yes it’s amazing, the castle was stunning xx
@@redsgotravels love you four x

Great meeting you guys yesterday and your correct Denia is lovely so we stayed today aswel 👍🏻 may see you all down Benidorm 🍻
Aww thanks guys , yes lovely to meet you , we feel inspired to travel to Nord app .. really sounded great xx , safe travels ❤️
@redsgotravels you won't regret it even if you stay in the South / mid Nordics I'm sure 😉 👍🏻
@tkits40 Thankyou so much x
Hey lovelies - great video the food looked lush I’ve not had Anchovies like that and that fruit and veg looked amazing 😻 !! So pleased to hear Dolly’s legs on the mend. Great video loved the drone shots Redders ❤ safe travels 🥰😘 xxx
Thanks guys ! Hope you are keeping well xx it’s a lovely place, Dolly is doing so well 🥰 loved the market and huge melons xx 😍 glad the drone comes back when called 🤣
@@redsgotravels you and your melons 😂😂 yeah we’re all good thanks guys busy busy though 🙄😫 the storm here tonight is horrific!! Xxx safe travels guys 🥰 xxx
@wanderinwilds stay safe xx
Gorgeous place but you should have visited Xavier down the coast a few miles. Your aloud to park right on the beach. Next time maybe. Enjoy. 👍😘
❤️🥰guess where we are right now ! ❤️🥰 👌☀️🙂
You're right, never cook an open mussel. If it's open and you press it closed for a couple of seconds and it stays closed it's fine. Raw mussels shouldn't have any smell 😊
Thankyou Tanya 🙂 much appreciated xx
Guys looks like you missed the best bit marina bars and restaurants 👍
Most of the marina bars were shut unfortunately, but we didn’t hold back on the tapas ! 😂
Your motorhome looks so glossy after the treatment it had. Nice beach for poppy to enjoy. Fab photos. Think maybe we should give our van a ride out. We haven't been in it since we got back from Spain/Portugal trip at the end of Nov. 😊
Aww Thankyou , yes , make some time if you can to get out and enjoy xx safe travels ❤️🥰
Great information guys 😊
Aww thank Lynne 🥰
Great vlog guys well done ❤ Strange seeing where we are 😆 and thankyou hope to meet again one day ❤
Aww thanks guys xx enjoy Dénia, we depart today , take care and safe travels xx ❤️🥰 will pop over before we leave to say goodbye xx
Weather looks great guys missing the uk winter seems to be the way forward for us next winter in our new to us van that we pick up in 12 days 😎👍🏝️🏝️
Wow ! 🥰 exciting times ahead xx ☀️ safe travels xx
Denia looks fantastic 😍 both park ups are great but good to know they don't have services, so best to turn empty. Seems strange to get a token for water from the Police station. Absolutely loving the food choices, that sea bass 🤤 we're trying to cut down...make some room for tapas in a couple of months!! Looking forward to Benidorm 🤩❤️❤️
Aww thanks guys ! It’s lovely here from you , so much better than we thought, we just got back from a tapas run , so it’s relax time now ❤️ xxx
Great vlogs. I am just home in Cymru after a trip to Alicante. Missing the weather already. 🙂🥶
🏴yes , heard it’s a bit bad back home, 🇪🇸☀️ bit different here , stay safe and thanks for commenting ❤️
Great vlog again, good to see you're all having a great time, looks a brilliant place. Had redders been drinking when you had your 3 course meal?😀😀 Nothing wrong with that of course, enjoy guys 👍😀
Aww Thankyou 🥰🇪🇸 no, Redders doesn’t drink , just the sun and fizz ! Xx
Denia looked amazing. We have 2 weeks over Christmas. Do you think thats enough time to get down to that area? Totally newbies so pretty clueless. Thanks ❤😊
Wow ! 2 weeks over Xmas , amazing ! Yes, you’ll be fine with 2 weeks, it’s a lovely area xx people do Benidorm for the same period, and Denia isn’t as far 🙂
Guessing you are heading for Benidorm, but you should do Moraira first. The Jewell of the Costa Blanca north. Free parking at the main car park.
Thankyou for the recommendation 🥰 much appreciated x
Altea is lovely, and use the tram/train
Morning Nick ! Appreciate your recommendation, it’s on the list 👌☀️🥰
Enjoyed your vlog 🐩🐩😘
Thankyou so much xx ❤️🥰
If they are open when you wash them don't eat love them make sure they are fresh when brought
Thankyou, need to be careful with them for sure , luckily all fresh here 🥰
💯 right about cooking mussels. 😊
Thankyou ! 🥰 wasn’t sure x
3 am is the normal time the local councils empty there big communal bins...I've noticed that everywhere I go in Spain ....😅
😂ok , avoid parking by them in future ! 😂
@@redsgotravels good advice 👌 😆 🤣
Indeed 😂
Please stop eating fish heads!!😂😂 We would need those filleted 😂. As for mussels 😢😢. We've travelled extensively in France and I used to really Bouillabaisse but sadly I dare nor try it now because of my allergy to molluscs. Looking like your living the dream. Dolly appears to be improving too. Stay safe guys and safe travels. PS you're missing an awful storm here. Sid and Nicola, Rugby
🤣yup ! You’ll see Redders ate the middle but , won’t eat head , butt or eyes 🤮 middle bit okay 😂 glad to be missing the storm , hope you stay safe x ❤️
Javea is nice too
Thanks for the recommendation 🇪🇸🙂
Get your feet off the table! 😂. Can’t take those hounds anywhere!
🐩🐾😂she is a cheeky one alright 😂
You are on your way to us, I’m sure 😂🎉
🌞🌞🥰 we are heading a bit nearer to Benidorm shortly , Denia has held us up for all the right reasons ! It’s lovely ❤️🥰
Good. Glad you liked it. We have it on the list for on the way back 😊x
🇪🇸🥰highly recommend it x
Hi I hope you don’t mind me saying but your last few videos I think have been really bright, might just be me though.
Morning Liz ! No problem, we are in a lot of sunlight lately , and will revisit the settings 🥰
Looks great..which restaurant did you have the sea bass & cheesecake? Enjoy
Luz de Luna was the restaurant ! Very nice ❤️🇪🇸
In Granada province tapas is free ❤❤
🥰❤️now that’s lovely !
Shitty tapas are free, indeed. If you want to get the nice ones, you have to pay, as you do everywhere else in Spain.

Gracias 🇪🇸
@@redsgotravels My pleasure. Please don´t rely on free tapas to evaluate Spanish food. They´re "free"... for a reason. ;)
Best!
😂we won’t , we understand 🥰😂🇪🇸🇪🇸
Is the aire actually on the marina. I have found two near but not on the marina. I love Denia but it will be my first time in campervan
Yes 🥰 it’s on the marina , we put the what 3 words up too xx
Great vlog guys. We are just north of Denia on a site.
Have you found LPG easy to get ?? We are still using our from filling up at Pamplona
Thankyou ! 🥰 we are looking to top up soon, I’ve been looking but it’s not as available as other places we’ve been through x
Nearest one to Denia is in Javea it's on the my lpg website
@retro423 Thankyou , we are heading there tomorrow 🥰❤️👍
If mussels not open when cooked, don't eat😮
Thankyou ! Good to know , much appreciated x ❤️
I cant believe that you have travelled to spain but you missed out OLIVA, PEGO, GANDIA. Just following other vanlifers to get to Benidorm Im disappointed,
Ahhh don’t be disappointed! We have a big list and those places are on it, we are out here til March! Our preference is always going to be more authentic. Benidorm is not exactly the sort of place we prefer, but we will enjoy showing the contrasts.
Thank you so any people the chance of seeing the real costa blanca, and dismiss the costa brava completely. enjoy Benidorm😀 if you can
Thankyou ! 🥰
