Argeles Sur Mer, France.

Left St Antoni de Colonge, Spain and started the slow journey home. Landed at CampimLe Soleil, Argeles sur Mer France.Terrific site on beach with massive heated pool, excellent pitch. Very hot 28c so took Jonesy for a cool off.

Last day in Spain.

Much better day today, weather picking up and set to be around 23c for about 10 days. Walked down to far end of beach for only my second sea swim of the holidays. Later to the pool on the campsite. Such a pity we didnt have better weather because we really like Sant Antoni although it's been really quiet with very few bars and restaurants open.

Nice morning but afternoon dismal with thunderstorms.

Lovely sunny morning s

o we walked our new Olympian welsh terrier to the front ,heading south towards Playa d'aro. Had a coffee at the very end of the prom then strode over the headland where we took in the view of Playa d'aro. Afternoon was a washout with thunderstorms. This trip has been fraught with indifferent,cool cloudy weather. That's being generous.

Just arrived at Sant Antoni de Calonge.

Sant Antoni de Calonge is basically an extension of Palamos but has its own character and vibe. Eurocamping is a great site with large pitches and pool area. We've been here before and this time we chose a premium pitch with 10 amps electric,water and drainage all for 32 euros. On arrival town quiet and weather improving.

Blanes yet again.

Having stayed at Solmar several times we decided to try Bella Terra (27 euros a night on ACSI). This is a better site with direct access to the beach and a much better pool area. pitches are larger and generally the area is more spacious with easier access to pitches. plenty of sunny pitches and plenty of shaded pitches.At this time I'd say occupancy is around 40%. Blanes has some similarities with Roses campsites at far end of a long attractive promenade. About a half hour walk to the main town area where you'll find an excellent selection of bars,cafés and restaurants, all overlooking the sea. Excellent cycle paths take you to town in 5-10 minutes. Close to Bella Terra there are numerous other campsites and a good choice of bars,restaurants and supermarkets. We found the onsite restaurant at Bella Terra very good. Blanes has a lot to offer and I would recommend it. Since arriving in Spain the weather hasnt been what we'd expect. We've had a few cool days, one or two sunny days but generally the dominant detail is that of cloud. This has kept temperatures down to around 18 -19. Looking around this seems to be the case for much of Spain.

Not what we've come to expect.

Been in Blanes for nearly a week now and weather has been really disappointing. Loads of cloud ,some short periods of sun but generally quite cool. we had one day of glorious sunshine ,I went in the sea and later in the afternoon spent some time around the pool where it got really hot. Weather for next 3 days the same ,thick cloud ,low temperatures and chance of rain. on the positive, this is a great site.

For those interested in technical aspects of motorhoming.
