Travels with Fufu, our motorhome
Monday 12th May 2025 Another day, very much marred by the weather, but we did manage to have a look around the small town of Villaviciosa, where we had intended to spend the night. After I had put yesterday's blog post to bed at Cudillero, we noticed that there would be a possible sunset: Sunset …
Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th May 2025 Saturday: We arrived at Cudillero around lunch time and parked on the harbour motorhome park.

Wednesday 16th April 2025 Heading further south, we called in at the small, medieval town of Mértola with its castle and narrow cobbled streets.

Tuesday 15th April 2025 Today, we have moved further south to the small settlement of São Domingos where we are staying on a paid motorhome park-up, for the princely sum of 7 € which includes electric hook up. Most of the way, we followed the N265, which was in a dreadful state of repair. Possibly …
Saturday 12th April 2025 Today we travelled further south, to the larger town of Évora. On the way, we saw some storks, nesting on the top of telegraph poles: And just a little further on, we were diverted across a new, seemingly temporary bridge made of sewer pipes, as the old stone, eight arched bridge …
Thursday 10th April 2025 The Journey: After doing a little shopping in Torre do Moncorvo, we headed east along the N221 and then south taking a very scenic route towards our destination for the evening, Almeida. Along the way, we passed through Freixo De Espada à Cinta, which we viewed from a distance before driving …
