3 dogs, 2 humans, 1 van, touring around Europe sniffing out adventures
Living in the van we have so little space and weight capacity that we really don’t consider buying stuff. And to be honest anything we really need we tend to buy when the time comes. Outside of coffee and cake our luxury buys are typically books (kindle and audible) as we read prolifically. This year …

Mark has been keen to visit Granada for months so I’d left all the planning to him. He was keen to stress it was a tootling about place, so he didn’t have my usual long list of sites to see. Thinking we wouldn’t be too long as it was Sunday and all the shops were …
Waking in the small town of Ochre we had a little potter around, saw its 7 towered ruins, lovely cathedral and a churros stall which had closed by the time I got out of bed. Mark swears he didn’t indulge while out with the dogs but that could be sugar in his beard. The main …
Wow its blowing a hoolie today, what happened to the sunny spain I was promised 🤣 We decided to brace ourselves against the wind to visit Quevedo 1981 cafe on the sea front for cake and wifi. There are definite perks to being vegan…the only cake option was a huge slice of chocolate cake. Poor …
Having been hiding out in the back and beyond for a few days, we decided to make the most of the city life and find a nice cafe. It seems you have to move quick as they sell out of croissants early at CafeterÃa-Panaderia Ana MarÃa . I managed to get one of the last …
The fire was almost out when we woke this morning, so we went out for a long walk back to Jaspers favourite beach. While the pups played in the surf and chewed sticks, Mark and I picked over the beautiful pebbles and quartz. Jasper was last off the beach and evidently didn’t want to leave, …
We woke to the smell of smoke so thick we could taste it. A quick glance outside and all along the shore farmers had fires burning, with thick plumes of smoke being swept towards the ocean. Definitely not ideal running conditions. We waited until mid morning by which time the fires were reducing, and took …

Last night, I felt so thankful. I might not have a clue what TV or celebrity gossip is doing the rounds, but why would I want that when I can be nestled up playing skipbo with snoring pups (wish Jasper had joined us on the bed to). We were up and organised fairly early and …
We are slowly getting used to Spains scheduling. Sunday and Monday most places closed, and every other day shops open 10-2, then close and may open at 5pm. Despite this I manage to find an open bakery and buy pan o raisin that are bigger than my face and delicious! We also found a cafe …
This morning we decided to stay on in Elche and explore a little. There isn’t a huge amount to do but it has a couple of large parks and I’d heard there was a dragon sculpture hidden in the trees. What wasn’t mentioned in the guides was the wonderfully coloured river channel. Large sections were …
