Spain in a MOTORHOME: Mojacar, Almeria Vanlife Europe

We're on a 3 month motorhome adventure in Spain and France.
We're touring Europe in our Swift Kontiki motorhome and this week we're along the Costa Calida in Spain.
We're in the pretty town of Mojacar and the beautiful port of Garrucha in Almeria where we find amazing free park ups for camper vans and motorhomes.
Our Vanlife roadtrip has taken us from the UK through France and into Spain where we have been hugging the Spanish coastline.
In this episode we explore Mojacar Pueblo show you what we cook in our motorhome and find amazing free park ups along the Spanish coast.
We're Julia and Gary, full-time vanlifers who've been on the road for over a year. We love a good laugh and our vlogs have plenty of laughs as well as decent information on motorhoming.

Girl, a nice candle wouldn't have gone a miss on the table when you had dinner in the van. I'll be keeping an eye on your journey throughout and if you ever come through France again your invited for a glass of wine ( or three ) just missed you the last time :-(( Take care and stay safe. xx

[@anewlifeinthevan]

[@BonjourMotorhome]

Hi Julia and Gary, Well, we are sat here in a stormy, wet England 🌧️⛈️ and I would rather have the rain in Spain falling mainly on the plain any day of the week! Glad to see you’re enjoying yourselves out there, don’t have too much fun though! Let’s have more Gary cam, his commentary on the weather is very much appreciated and beats Michael Fish handsdown! All the best, Zoe 🦯🦮, Malish 👨🏻‍✈️, and Keeva the Pickle 🐩.

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Hi guys, you're right about the rain in Spain, it seems actually quite pleasant, and as for Gary, the guy is a natural!! 😆 Thanks for watching both and taking the time to leave a comment, lots of love Julia and Gary ❤

[@kenandersson7268]

Hi guys, you two are the happiest and funniest people I’ve ever met. Does Gary ever stop chuckling😂. Another informative and interesting video. Julia, I agree about Mojacar, looks better on film than in reality for some reason. We look forward with excitement to your next adventure, take care and happy journey x

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Hi Ken, thanks for the fantastic comment 🤩 Gary is a right jolly old soul, honestly he's always chuckling, he reminds me of Father Christmas 😂😂 so glad you're enjoying the vlogs, warm wishes Julia and Gary ❤️

[@deecherrie4121]

We miss you and I thought just because you need to take a break, doesn't mean we should. Thinking of you a lot and hoping all goes well for you all. Sending big love from a slowly warming Canada!

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Ah you guys 😍 what a lovely message ❤️ We are ok, my dad had an op last week and so far things are going well. Good to hear it's slowly warming up in Canada, we'll be back on the road soon, love to you both ❤️

Love watching you both on your travels. You put a smile on my face xx

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Ah thank you so much Heather 🤩 Glad you enjoy the vlogs ❤️

[@narrowboatpuravida]

You find really lovely places to park up 🥰 Mojacar Pueblo did look really gorgeous and interesting but definitely not accessible. At least you found the lift up the top, is that a common thing or had you heard about it before? Love when you don't rehearse, Gary is so funny. However was disappointed when he didn't say anything when you said you were on top of each other all day in the van 😂 Great vlog guys. Hoping everything is going well with your family ❤️

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Hi both 🤗 thanks for a brilliant comment 😂 Gary definitely missed a trick on that for sure 😂 Thanks for asking about the family, my dad had a heart op but seems to be doing well ❤️ love to you both 💕

[@narrowboatpuravida]

@@anewlifeinthevan glad to hear he's recovering 🥰 I thought that was the case but didn't know if you'd put it on here so kept it general. 🤞 he continues to improve well 😊❤️

[@anewlifeinthevan]

@narrowboatpuravida ah thanks, yes we're relieved he is doing well ❤️

[@garychabot4069]

Lost track of U2 can’t find you on KZbin at the moment. I hope you’re okay.

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Hi Gary, we are fine, thanks for asking 🤗 my dad had an op and we needed to support for a while...but we're back on the road this weekend and a new vlog will be out on Saturday ❤️

[@juliehill5938]

We missed you too! Hope your dad is ok

[@anewlifeinthevan]

@juliehill5938 thanks Julie, he's doing really well ❤️‍🩹 we'll be back on the road this weekend and have a vlog out on Saturday hopefully X

[@Bartonsrving]

Spain seems pretty friendly for boondockers. Your not having much luck on the pay RV park seems like everything in Spain is tight. Wow the steps that's a work out. Thank you for sharing hope your having a good day.

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Hi guys 🤗 you're absolutely spot on, boondocking out of season is relatively easy but the sites are too tight and crowded. Mojacar Pueblo is crazy steep!! Definitely not for us for too long 😂 thanks for watching and being so supportive ❤️

[@Storminatransitvan]

I don't know what happened but I've only just found this video for some reason I didn't get notified anywhere great videos usual enjoy the sun bloody freezing over here we're heading off to Portugal on the 17th of May to get some sun hopefully take care both of you 😀 ❤

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Hi guys X we don't know why you're not getting notifications...seems weird but had to go back to UK for a while to support family as my dad was having and Op. Things have gone well and we hope to be on the road again this weekend with a new vlog out on Saturday 😍 have a great time in Portugal ❤️

[@mariabooth697]

You 2 are such a lovely couple so glad I've come across your vlogs keep the laughter coming 💗

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Hi Maria 👋 what a lovely comment, thank you so much, warmest wishes Julia and Gary ❤️

[@powderpuff1964]

cant believe you've squeezed into anything your too nice

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Ah thanks very much ☺️

[@powderpuff1964]

@@anewlifeinthevan you’re always so happy. Have you ever thought about towing a scooter? So you can have more access to areas when you get there because Motorhomes aren’t the smallest things to park?

[@anewlifeinthevan]

@powderpuff1964 we thought about towing a trike as we really like them but trying to find one in our budget is a bit tricky at the moment 🤗

[@powderpuff1964]

that campsite looked iffy

[@anewlifeinthevan]

It really was...just something about it was completely off...we were well happy to leave!! 😂
