Hola – Spain!🇪🇸
❤️10 Impressive Places in Spains❤️
& Stopover in Gibraltar
1. Serra del Montsec
A night in nature🏕
After great effort, we finally made it to the top!💪
We camped here at an altitude of around 2500 meters!
For me, it was the very first time sleeping without a proper tent, right in the middle of nature.
We set up a hammock with a tarp between two trees and made ourselves comfortable.🙂
All the setup made us pretty thirsty, so we went in search of water!
Just half a kilometer further, we found the first stream.
YAY! Water!👏
We had a special bottle with us, which I can really recommend to any nature lover. With this bottle, almost all impurities are removed from the water. You simply click once on the lid to turn on the UV-C LED light. After just one minute, the water from nature is safe to drink. How cool is that? It's a bit expensive, but you'll have it for a long time! (The bottle is called: Quartz Bottle)
2. Barcelona☀️🌴
Oh beautiful Barcelona.
The narrow streets in the city center, the sweetly decorated shops, the expansive beaches, the street music on every corner.
Definitely, I would also recommend going up to the Riesenrand. From there, you have a beautiful view over the entire city!🎡
Of course, there are also many shopping opportunities! Whether in the store or right on the roadside.🛍
Here you can find everything, whether real brands or fake products. It's funny to see that as soon as the police pass by, people suddenly fold their blankets into a bag and dash away very quickly.😆
In Spain, it was pretty hot! In the camper, the thermometer rose to up to 45 degrees Celsius during the day.😅
Scorching heat! Quite foolish when you had bought a delicious watermelon the day before and had to discover the next day that it had completely burst🍉. We can count ourselves lucky that it was in a wooden bowl, otherwise our whole camper would probably have been underwater. The bowl was almost filled to the top with the fruit water. YUCK! And it stinks, I tell you! With gloves and a bucket, we emptied it bit by bit. Disgusting mess🐷! It stank so much, was as slimy as anything, and we had to throw away our bowl.🤢
Well, you learn from mistakes!
Two weeks later, we left Barcelona and immersed ourselves back in nature 🌿:
3. Valencia🍹
Speechless. Just speechless. These stunning architectures of Valencia really blew us away! 😯
See for yourself:
We whizzed through almost every city with our e-scooter🛴!
Totally cool! Here in Valencia, there were even charging stations!
Shopping is of course also possible here! Colorful!🛍

4. Costa Blanca⚓️
Ohhhh how beautiful the coastline of the province of Alicante is! Totally in love!🥰
During our exploration, we even came across flamingos.🦩
How awesome is that!!!
The next days, we snorkeled endlessly🤿! I have never in my life seen so many huge fish in one place😍. It was simply indescribable! We had a snorkel mask that covered the entire face. I can only recommend it! Of course, it's not suitable for diving, but that wasn't really necessary here! Huge schools of fish swam around us, in their various colors.🥰🐠
The clear water provided excellent visibility.
Just perfect!💕
The cave was also particularly cool!!!👻
Nothing is better than watching a fantastic sunset after a long day of snorkeling!🌅
After we continued driving, we found a new campsite along the way.
But OOPS😧. It didn't take long, and we were chased away. There was an overnight ban 🚫. No problem!
We could still admire the turtles in the water!🐢
Besides, our new campsite wasn't bad either!😌
5. Marbella🌺
A perfect day to stroll through the city and admire the beautiful colors of the flowers!
6. Alhambra🏰
Alhambra is a really pretty city castle located in Granada. Especially great were all the flowers!💐
Gibraltar⛰
Hike up to the top
Wow. Gibraltar was definitely worth it! Gibraltar is a British overseas territory consisting mostly of a large limestone rock. Right on our arrival day, we climbed the 426-meter-high rock in quite a heat.🥾
The best part: Sweet monkeys crossed our paths multiple times.🙉
When we conquered the rock, we arrived quite sweaty!😅
But we had an amazing view!😍
In the underground tunnels of the rock, many ancient stories are hidden 📖:
An incredible light show underground. Definitely a highlight in Gibraltar!💥
7. Tarifa🏝
A dream for kite surfers🌊
Oops. Where have we landed here?
Beach party despite Corona? In Tarifa it was possible!🍾🎊
At every beach bar, you could hear the sound of drum music from afar. The sun shone stronger and stronger every day. The sand was bright yellow, the water clear. It didn't take long, and we were invited to BBQs or parties by other campers.
A huge mile full of like-minded people 😃.
The surf fever quickly caught on, so Max immediately bought himself a new kite surfing equipment and spent days on end in the water.🌊
Definitely still on my MUST DO list - but at that time, I had no experience at all, and other things were the focus for me.
You arrive in Tarifa and are overwhelmed by the so-called "Beach-Vibes", "Party-Vibes", and "Surfer-Vibes".
Great place!
8. Cádiz⛴
Port city in the region of Andalusia
It's time😍. Janet turns 26 years young. How time flies….. Max was super, super sweet and distributed 26 red balloons throughout the camper for me. Additionally, he woke me up early in the morning at my birth time and surprised
I contemplated the candle on my muffin... But what does one wish for when one is infinitely happy?🤔
9. Gijón🌊
Fantastic views of the sea! Many skyscrapers and wonderful sights!
10. Santander 🏦
Santander. The bank. We know it!
We took a look at the city. Once again, we zipped through the streets with our e-scooter, and what did we see: magnificent trees, the vast sea, small beaches, impressive sights, well-kept houses, and a clean city. Beautiful! 😊
