VAN LIFE in Spain is EPIC!

This week, we arrive in Alicante, in good time to pick up Lyndsey, who has flown in from the UK to join the adventure for the week. With AMAZING overnight beach park ups simply everywhere...This is the PURE & SIMPLE vanlife that everybody had told us about - "You wait 'til you go to Europe, you won't wanna come back" We've heard it SO many times....Yeah, we get it now!
After saying our farewells (again) to Lyndsey, we continue are journey through Southern Spain towards Algeciras, where we are to cross to Morocco early December.

    I'm so jealous of your travels and excited to see what Morocco is like when you get there... that off road section that brings back memories of a road in scotland where we ripped off our electric step, not sure how far off road we'd go now.
