Over the Pyrenees and into Spain

Last night was spent on an Aire in Anglet, near Biarritz - we had travelled a further 566 miles.  We'd stopped here before and knew it took 60 motorhomes, so we figured we would easily get in.  We didn’t arrive until just turned 7pm and couldn’t believe how full it was.  As luck would have it we managed to find the last space. The day was finished off with a lovely stroll along the promenade and a glass of wine - it was 16° at 8pm – perfect!

The Aire is free in the winter months – hence why it was full. Just in case anyone may want to use it, the coordinates are: N43°30.427’ W001°32.059' (it’s just off the D405 adjacent to the beach).  Cost is 10€ in summer and 5€ spring and autumn.

Another early start and we were off again heading over the Pyrenees and into Spain.

The Pyrenees

As we began to climb the temperature dropped to -1 degrees brrrrr but it was a lovely sunny day.  There were plenty of tunnels to go through on this journey!

This tunnel was 4km long and when we came out the other side it was thick fog and the temperature was still dropping!

An hour or so later as we headed down off the mountains and headed further south the temperature went up and up and up - although we could still see snow on the mountains.

Snow topped mountains, just passed Salamanca

Destination Cáceres – last stop before Punta Umbria!
