Hi, you beauties. Vinnie has served you very well. You are comfortable in him, with all of your gear in familiar places. You will be letting poor Vinnie and your viewers down if he leaves the channel! He is part of your family. Go well all of you, from a big fan of yours!
Vinny is buzzing along so beautifully. Yay. Easy for people to say "go buy a new van". It is not THEM paying for a new van. Tell them "send money". As long as Vinnie is behaving and repairs aren't too costly???? My car is an '06 but still doing beautifully....so no complaints. My son drives it. I can't drive any longer.
Like you guys I tend to hang onto my vehicles until something pushes me over the edge. Like your axle would have convinced me. I drove a ‘56 Chevy station wagon from ‘73-2010, doing a full rebuild in ‘89. My kids loved it and it was pretty reliable because it was a very simple car. The most techie thing was the power windows. I get your affection for Vinnie. Hang in there. I’ve been watching vids of homes in Italy. It looks like a nice place to ride a motorcycle, not so much for camper van touring.
Hi😊,that little red runner you called bunting is a Toran and they are usually hung above doors and windows,I have one above my kitchen window. Lovely to see you in warmer climes,I'm jell as it is windy and cold in blighty.😮. That meal looks 😋 yummy.xx
I did a self build here in spain about 3 years ago and you really don’t need expensive power tools. Maybe a jigsaw, sander, drill etc. I agree, its not easy at the side of the road, but I’ve seen the Spanish do just that in some of the small towns near me. Hardest part was finding a decent van, that wasn’t all battered up as they tend to be in spain. If you go down this route, just let me know and ill happily give you all the help and advice i can. I bought everything here in spain, either amazon, local bricos, and some camping stores. Just don’t let vinnie overhear your plans. Great video by the way
We spent from July 1995 almost all the time between Ondara, Denia, Orba Valley, Calpe, Altea, Albir, Benidorm, La Nucia, Polop, and Villiojosa. We rode on a regular basis between Calpe and Villiojosa. We had 5 years on Cap Negret Campsite which is now 3 Apartment blocks between where you parked at the music centre and Cap Negret Hotel just before the Altea bridge. We did 2 Summer season's doing Karaoke in Benidorm 1995/96 and retired in October 1996. We used to ride to all the repeater stations and there is a nice ride to the Lighthouse in Albir and the Cross in the mountain between Albir & Benidorm. Also Terra Mitica.
🇬🇧🦋🚐yah sunshine gorgeous beaches ... lovely furbabies and gorgeous couple ... Vinny is doing you both proud ,stands out from other campers , we all have hiccups as we get older ... yes you are rebuilding him ... like 6 million dollar van ... plus you know what is fixed , take care , yes save energy for Benidorm , you will love old Benidorm ... new Benidorm it is like a mini Vegas by the sea think of Margate on steroids .. keep safe lulu and Paul xx 🦋🇬🇧🚐💕
Hi Nick Sarah, I just seen your latest vlog very nice, lovely sunshine. I'm sure you love it, great drone shots nice one Nick 👍Totally agree with you with regards to vinny, I reckon he's going to be a new van anyway soon with all the parts you put on it, no need to buy a new van in my opinion 👍 looking forward to the Benidorm visit😊 keep up the good work. Safe travelling take care❤ Steve back in Wales now🏴, bit of a shock to the system rain and cold weather😢 Loved my two months in manilva👍🇪🇸❤xx
We do really appreciate being back here in Spain and not going to lie, the weather really does make you feel happy.. 30 degrees again this weekend and it’s so lovely after spending the winter up north! Thanks so much for watching..😁
You skipped the beautiful coastline of the Costa Azahar, in the area behind the coast are so many nice places for you to explore. And many places for sale! Enjoy the sun! 🌞🌡😎
I think I would give Benidorm a wide berth, like the peace and quiet of the places you seem to find. I've been watching since the time you camped out on the roof your place in Adulicia😂, you looked then to have such lovely time. Take care, fuss the doggies for me.
Hi guys, what a lovely video yet again. You have been to the places that we go to Altea is so beautiful, they have a great candle shop there, they make them in the shop worth a visit. You made us laugh about going to Benidorm we still haven’t been and been going to Spain for a many years 😂😂, we also say shall we go today we want to go but still haven’t perhaps one day eh!!!!. Anyway thanks for sharing this with us, take care
We were there back in November. It is a lovely area, not what you would expect being so close to Benidorm. I think Altea was in the very first Benidorm programme as it was where the middle class couple were supposed to have stayed. You can walk along the front from Altea to Albir. At Albir you can walk up to the lighthouse through a national park. You get fantastic views. Also I have seen vans parked up in Albir. The inland villages are also worth visiting. Reminded us of rural Wales!
Hi nick and Sarah 👋 just us 2 saying hi and thanks again this update. 👋 we are looking forward to seeing your view of benidorm 👋 denandsue👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌.
Hi There Nick and Sarah and Doggies Hope you Are well , Great video and Great drone filming , It looks lovely there ,And wow 25 degrees there its starting to warm up , Nice dog friendly beach , so Thanks for sharing , Take care All , 🌞☀🌞.
Nooooo! you can't get rid of Vinnie!! Transit vans have ears you know! He'll have heard every word........lol, Lovely place you're staying at at the moment, those beaches are like WOW! enjoy.... :)
Back on the road on the sunny side, looking at land to buy, and now imagining to build a new van. I am only watching your videos, but I am enjoying all the adventure with you.
you mentioning Calpe & Altea - brings back memories. My Mum and Step-father used to have a "mobile home" (static caravan - could never get my head round that, but I digress...). Visited there loads of times. Calpe's fish restaurants are fabulous. The sea is amazing at Altea - albeit a bit rough - but lovely. And when you said Valencia, I nearly cried. I should've been there a couple of weeks back to visit said mother above. But I tested positive for COVID on the Thursday evening and was due to fly on the Saturday morning. Couldn't go out to them as they are elderly and vulnerable. I was one very upset and p'd off person. Looking for flight at the moment but they are really expensive... Looks so warm. You guys are great and I've been checking all day to see this video. Safe travels and hopefully not long before you're home!! Thanks for the memories xxx
I actually think you are on the site where they're caravan used to be!!! They used to be able to use the facilities at that hotel. It's a popular place for Spanish retirees in the Summer (or used to be). Blooming heck...
I love chestnuts! I recently had truffle oil and mushroom ravioli with chopped up chestnuts and I made a sauce with pumpkin and carrot soup. It was delicious 😋
Foresty Forest did his self build in carparks and i have seen similar self builds on YT, personally i was going to buy a second hand camper for days away hill walking in Scotland but have been priced out of the market so i now sleep in the back of my Duster, seats folded enough room to get a big thick piece of foam and a sleeping bag mind you first time out -5 and frost in the inside , but warmer weather is coming soon so that shouldnt be an issue, cheers from Scotland, and keep up the awesome vlogs👍
Wow what a beautiful place that is 👍 iv been to various places in Spain over the years . Ps . Definitely keep Vinny,he will keep going for a long time now you've had those problems fixed 👍👍 Iv had my old 03 plate Vauxhall Astra van for 13 years apart from a few wear n tear items it's been as good as gold ,I do all my own maintenance and repairs which helps with cost
Arh didnt realise you were heading to our neck of woods, Albir light house walk is amazing! Also we have some lovely walks in Benidorm too, up to Cross and little castella look out point is stunning, not just high rise buildings haha. Gorgeous beach on Rincon and Poniente side, old town of Benidorm is also lovely. Please dont think Benidorm is all whats shown on Benidorm series, because its NOT😍 ( We do have Calle Gerona, which is mostly pubs, we avoid those) Takecare of each other xxx
Hello beautiful people ! Totally understand why you prefer retro van, these motorhome look at some cold room on truck☹️ (i hope what you sée what i mean). Vinnie give me memories, in the past with my man. We had a Ford transit in 90' and travel with it and our 2 dogs. See you next week lovers 😘
You’re very close to my favourite place in Spain, Albir, immediately after Altea, last place before Benidorm, it’s a nice bike ride down to there from where you are - enjoy 😊
Well !, you have just been to our holiday area ,, where we had driven from just before we saw you on the road ,, ( grrrr sooo disappointed we didn’t meet grr lol x) we head there ( from Altea up to Denia ) every year ,, we stay in our fave spot shhhh ! ( Javea ) and days trips to places all along that gorgeous coast .. and yes we did the Dorm this time too , mmmm ,, bit like Marmite as I’m sure you found out lol .. safe trip home you four .. Neil , Liz and Barneyboo the Cockerpoo xxxx
I agree with you. I've been living in my van for 6 months - Sicily and Spain. I must say I saw Benidorm from a distance and by-passed. I have another 6 months in the UK before returning home. Enjoy x
With a self build you can make sure it is properly insulated, which is for us ( full timers ) one of the most important things living in an extreme climate, New Zealand, as your travels are as well.
Wow . That Costa Blanca coastline is just beautiful.. and the village area... I need to win a BIG lottery. Haahaa. All in all.. time to re-charge at home sweet home guys. Time to heal.
Hi guys, My Vaneroo is 52 years old and everyone told me to get rid of him but over the last 10 years I’ve slowly got him fixed up and now most things have been done .. things go wrong in new vans especially with all the electronics! I’d do what you want to do but you’ve invested in Vinny and he’s invested in you 😂❤xx
Repairs are still WAY more affordable than a new van. New vehicles are made of plastic, entirely electronic, more complex, and require computers and mechanics to fix. I would LOVE to find a hardy diesel van. Vinny is worth gold, guys!
I love Costa Blanca, especially Javea and Denia but haven’t been recently though. Beautiful but Busy area as you say. Wait till you get to Benidorm 😱😆. Hope Nick’s doc visit goes well 💕
Hi you two. Only just found you recently, enjoying your travels. We only about 45mins to hour away from you in this video. Beautiful part of Spain, our home for the last 17 years. Take care, safe travels . Patricia ❤️💙
Regarding updating your van.The only major issue with the van you have is rust underneath. The engines are bulletproof they are well known for doing 300 k miles plus 👍
Ah I was hoping you guys would stop in javea. Next costal town to denia. Stunning little place. Been here 23years. We will be off on our travels across spain shortly. Love your content. We really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work and enjoy
Nice, I used to love going to Altea, quite cute village. Yes boys not impressed with the dog beach, they do like to roll and chase each other and couldn't do it there. Glad you are having a good time in the"hot " weather whilst we have quite a lot of rain now. Take care all of you.
Ooh that sunshine looks fab…. I’d give Benidorm a miss…. we drove in & straight out… urrgghh. Altea looked lovely … shame about the doggy beach 🦮🐕. Hope the journey home goes ok
Most of the time it is cheaper to keep what you have and fix it when needed. It is just inconvenient. Remember you can have trouble with a new van also.
Great footage again, what was the man carrying in the back of his carriage at the beginning with the two horses?? Enjoy Benidorm !!! Just like our Blackpool although the sun shines at Benidorm!! 😂😂😂
Can't beat free park ups Thought you would have got 1 of them little metal things that campers put small pieces of wood in to cook on that fold away so you can roast some chestnuts and coffee beans while your doing it and make ameal instead of using the gas
You are right motorhomes are really expensive ours cost us £75,000 pounds, the main reason is that I have a bone condition called none sclerosing bone remodelling, it's a rare side effect of osteoarthritis that started in my thirties it causes huge bone cysts that then cause the bone to break. I've done my right ankle twice my left once and the worst one was my femur, which just snapped when I turned round, leading to eight weeks in hospital being shunted from one to another hospital while they got a diagnosis, it resulted in a hip replacement it's horrible when you are younger and you get this, my spines not good so less of the pity party, I just need a really comfortable home on wheels hence the price. Your travels look fantastic, love all the scenery and the doggies look happy. Hope you get better soon Nick safe travels all of you. By the way Iove ethnic stuff our motorhome is full of it and our house.
Good to see the Sunshine again Even if its through the computer monitor . Nick looking Sharp with the Bay watch red outfit , little treat for the Lady viewers . your dogs have a really nice life with constant exploring and love. Maybe me But i wonder when you arrive at a place and see so many other campers , Whats your initial feeling We are with our Fellow travelling family OR bloody hell theres too many of us here , Dont answer that if could stir up some Negative Vibe within the Community. Either way i look forward to seeing your journey unfold so Bye for now
You should keep Vinnie, look at some of the other Vloggers who have nearly new vans with MAJOR and expensive problems. We have an 08 Vivaro and have fixed a few things, but the older the vans the simpler they are and easier to fix and they usually get you there. You have no turbo/intercooler, no electronics, all of which go wrong, just accept you will have a few things to fix from time to time.
Question: Do you ever send up the drone to look for places to park for a night?????? or day? There's a nice train journey all the way to Alicante. Guadaleste nearby! My father died after a traffic accident in Torrevieja. ... I have just returned from Gaucin via Sevilla which I spent five nights on the van at.... my first 3 week sleeping in the Kangoo real van life road trip... scary but fun and beautiful... I left 28C at one oart of the day and in France back to the woodburner! So glad you got the van repaired... Onwards!
Just a thought. If you did want to build a camper, I built mine by buying a caravan that the body was no good but the interior was great and use the caravan to build the camper. My camper is like walking into a caravan.
Glad vinnies brakes are now sorted. A self build in uk starts from £5,000 for a small van, so Spain seems a cheaper option. Just carry on with Vinnie until he's had enough, don't think he's ready to retire 😢. Love the drone footage❤
Like us and other motorvaners this 22/23 winter you have the costa blanca bug. We loved it. Came back 10 days ago. Like you it was hot. I only had jumpers. Luckily I did have some lacey vests with me. We stayed in the many motorvan sites in this area. It is wonderful up in the mountains behind too. We will be going back. Already booked a site for xmas. We loved the area, the busy in winter bit (despite the fact we are loners) the weather. We just loved it. Not for the summer but out of season good. And the amount of north Europeans, crazy. And all the old towns as well, just like Andulucia.
👍 Cool -- your probably back south now but ma mate who lives in Algeciras msg me yesterday saying it was 20c at 11am and the bay was like a millpond -- dead calm
I just started watching the video but I think it’s really exciting that you guys are almost to 60,000 subscribers now. Yay! It’s about darn time. You know I love your channel. I never understood why others didn’t follow along faster. 🥰 I am with Nick the devil you know is is better than the devil you don’t know. The price of new vans and new homes nowadays is absolutely ridiculous.
Charlie and his ‘tippy head’ whilst listening to you guys talking ❤️ he is just adorable 🥰🥰🥰
Little Charlie is like a hug on four paws.
He’s the sweetest little doggie ever! 🥰.. Thanks so much for watching..😁
Hi, you beauties. Vinnie has served you very well. You are comfortable in him, with all of your gear in familiar places. You will be letting poor Vinnie and your viewers down if he leaves the channel! He is part of your family. Go well all of you, from a big fan of yours!
Love the way Charlie is listening to everything.
Vinny is buzzing along so beautifully. Yay. Easy for people to say "go buy a new van". It is not THEM paying for a new van. Tell them "send money". As long as Vinnie is behaving and repairs aren't too costly????
My car is an '06 but still doing beautifully....so no complaints. My son drives it. I can't drive any longer.
Like you guys I tend to hang onto my vehicles until something pushes me over the edge. Like your axle would have convinced me. I drove a ‘56 Chevy station wagon from ‘73-2010, doing a full rebuild in ‘89. My kids loved it and it was pretty reliable because it was a very simple car. The most techie thing was the power windows. I get your affection for Vinnie. Hang in there.
I’ve been watching vids of homes in Italy. It looks like a nice place to ride a motorcycle, not so much for camper van touring.
One thing after another with Vinny and they only use it to go to their local shops in Spain, Portugal, France,Britain etc etc etc 😃
I'm loving seeing all the new places that I otherwise wouldn't see so thankyou xx
Hi😊,that little red runner you called bunting is a Toran and they are usually hung above doors and windows,I have one above my kitchen window. Lovely to see you in warmer climes,I'm jell as it is windy and cold in blighty.😮. That meal looks 😋 yummy.xx
Still cold and rainy here in Germany....thanks for the glimpse of sun!!
I did a self build here in spain about 3 years ago and you really don’t need expensive power tools. Maybe a jigsaw, sander, drill etc. I agree, its not easy at the side of the road, but I’ve seen the Spanish do just that in some of the small towns near me. Hardest part was finding a decent van, that wasn’t all battered up as they tend to be in spain. If you go down this route, just let me know and ill happily give you all the help and advice i can. I bought everything here in spain, either amazon, local bricos, and some camping stores. Just don’t let vinnie overhear your plans. Great video by the way

No wonder you guys left the UK lol 😂 👍
They are one lucky couple , if only we all could do you same 😢
Same in New England also. (((Brrr)))
We do really appreciate being back here in Spain and not going to lie, the weather really does make you feel happy.. 30 degrees again this weekend and it’s so lovely after spending the winter up north! Thanks so much for watching..😁
You really are a great cook, such imagination 😋
Lovely, lovely….thank you! 🤗🐶🐶🫶
Part of your charm is vini... It will be fine..carry on..love long and prosper..Sid.

So glad you are safely home guys. Bet the doggies are pleased as well. Good luck with Vinny next week. See you Thursday 🥳🎉🍷💕
I agree with you. I've been living in my van for 6 months - Sicily and Spain. I must say I saw Benidorm from a distance and by-passed. I have another 6 months in the UK before returning home. Enjoy x
That is a beautiful coastal place. Loved the blue sea. 🥰🥰
😊😊
With a self build you can make sure it is properly insulated, which is for us ( full timers ) one of the most important things living in an extreme climate, New Zealand, as your travels are as well.
Wow
. That Costa Blanca coastline is just beautiful.. and the village area... I need to win a BIG lottery. Haahaa.
All in all.. time to re-charge at home sweet home guys. Time to heal.
Hi guys, My Vaneroo is 52 years old and everyone told me to get rid of him but over the last 10 years I’ve slowly got him fixed up and now most things have been done .. things go wrong in new vans especially with all the electronics! I’d do what you want to do but you’ve invested in Vinny and he’s invested in you 😂❤xx
When I saw the 2 horse power van at the start of the video I thought you were showing us your next van.
Repairs are still WAY more affordable than a new van. New vehicles are made of plastic, entirely electronic, more complex, and require computers and mechanics to fix. I would LOVE to find a hardy diesel van. Vinny is worth gold, guys!
Fretful at times for you im sure but a good adventure -- enjoy that nice terrace o yours back at yer house -- wish I was there 🙂
I love Costa Blanca, especially Javea and Denia but haven’t been recently though. Beautiful but Busy area as you say. Wait till you get to Benidorm 😱😆. Hope Nick’s doc visit goes well 💕
Always a joy to spend time with you. Glad you're so much better.
awwwww, Thankyou☺️☺️xx
Wow the colour of that sea was amazing ,looking forward to the next video 💖💖
😊😊
Hi you two. Only just found you recently, enjoying your travels. We only about 45mins to hour away from you in this video. Beautiful part of Spain, our home for the last 17 years. Take care, safe travels . Patricia ❤️💙
Thankyou so much Patricia. It really is such a lovely part of Spain, looking forward to exploring more ❤️ x
Love the chill music!!!
Love and much envy from a windy rainy Bolton
Any wound..let air get to it !
Dont keep it covered for long periods. Keeps it moist, wont heal.
Good luck.
Spain looks beautiful. Love the doggies.
Charlie listens.....and understands everything you say......
Regarding updating your van.The only major issue with the van you have is rust underneath. The engines are bulletproof they are well known for doing 300 k miles plus 👍
Ah I was hoping you guys would stop in javea. Next costal town to denia. Stunning little place. Been here 23years.
We will be off on our travels across spain shortly.
Love your content.
We really enjoy your videos.
Keep up the good work and enjoy
Another great vlog I look forward to them.
Nice, I used to love going to Altea, quite cute village. Yes boys not impressed with the dog beach, they do like to roll and chase each other and couldn't do it there. Glad you are having a good time in the"hot " weather whilst we have quite a lot of rain now. Take care all of you.
Thankyou so much, yeah the boys definitely prefer sand over pebble beaches! Sending love to you ❤️ x
Ooh that sunshine looks fab…. I’d give Benidorm a miss…. we drove in & straight out… urrgghh. Altea looked lovely … shame about the doggy beach 🦮🐕. Hope the journey home goes ok
Another great video guys scenery was beautiful look forward to your exploits in Benidorm take care Nick hope your looking after yourself xxPat
Thankyou so much Pat ❤️ x
l think you guys might really like Benidorm, the old town is really great, people slag it off who have never been there, bon voyage!
We went to the Costa Blanca, liked it and moved in. Near Denia if you're passing.
Cover vinny’s ears 😂😂 - great vid as always - see u next Thursday
On the way back you should try and stop off for a swim in the pools and waterfalls at Les Fonts du l’agar
After so many [spooky] empty villages along the way... it's really nice to see some normal activity going on & sunny beach life. Like, a big relief!
Oh yes! We totally agree! Thanks so much for watching..😁
I really like Vinnie! He has a lot of personality!
Most of the time it is cheaper to keep what you have and fix it when needed. It is just inconvenient. Remember you can have trouble with a new van also.
Great footage again, what was the man carrying in the back of his carriage at the beginning with the two horses?? Enjoy Benidorm !!! Just like our Blackpool although the sun shines at Benidorm!! 😂😂😂
I know what you mean about seeing Benidorm, its so tacky but I hanker to see it too, :) great video guys as per usual........
Beautiful spot
Can't beat free park ups
Thought you would have got 1 of them little metal things that campers put small pieces of wood in to cook on that fold away so you can roast some chestnuts and coffee beans while your doing it and make ameal instead of using the gas
You are right motorhomes are really expensive ours cost us £75,000 pounds, the main reason is that I have a bone condition called none sclerosing bone remodelling, it's a rare side effect of osteoarthritis that started in my thirties it causes huge bone cysts that then cause the bone to break. I've done my right ankle twice my left once and the worst one was my femur, which just snapped when I turned round, leading to eight weeks in hospital being shunted from one to another hospital while they got a diagnosis, it resulted in a hip replacement it's horrible when you are younger and you get this, my spines not good so less of the pity party, I just need a really comfortable home on wheels hence the price. Your travels look fantastic, love all the scenery and the doggies look happy. Hope you get better soon Nick safe travels all of you. By the way Iove ethnic stuff our motorhome is full of it and our house.
Lovely video 😊thank you 😊love Benidorm 😊
Costa Blanca is phenomenal….. we spend the winters down there. Enjoy.
Love that doggy’s nose!
If you update enough bits, the van could be a van version of Trigger's broom!! Swapped the head a few times, and the handle, but same broom.. ;)
That's a bloody good motor that van now MAD has serviced it and it's in good condition and a near classic so why part with it ??
Good to see the Sunshine again
Even if its through the computer monitor .
Nick looking Sharp with the Bay watch red outfit , little treat for the Lady viewers .
your dogs have a really nice life with constant exploring and love.
Maybe me But i wonder
when you arrive at a place and see so many other campers , Whats your initial feeling
We are with our Fellow travelling family OR bloody hell theres too many of us here , Dont answer that if could stir up some Negative Vibe within the Community.
Either way i look forward to seeing your journey unfold so
Bye for now
You should keep Vinnie, look at some of the other Vloggers who have nearly new vans with MAJOR and expensive problems. We have an 08 Vivaro and have fixed a few things, but the older the vans the simpler they are and easier to fix and they usually get you there. You have no turbo/intercooler, no electronics, all of which go wrong, just accept you will have a few things to fix from time to time.
Finally …I’ve been looking forward to you two heading home to that beautiful house….the terrace is waiting for you to get it ready for summer
awwwww, Thankyou☺️☺️xx
Question: Do you ever send up the drone to look for places to park for a night?????? or day? There's a nice train journey all the way to Alicante. Guadaleste nearby! My father died after a traffic accident in Torrevieja. ...
I have just returned from Gaucin via Sevilla which I spent five nights on the van at.... my first 3 week sleeping in the Kangoo real van life road trip... scary but fun and beautiful... I left 28C at one oart of the day and in France back to the woodburner!
So glad you got the van repaired... Onwards!
Just a thought.
If you did want to build a camper, I built mine by buying a caravan that the body was no good but the interior was great and use the caravan to build the camper. My camper is like walking into a caravan.
Glad vinnies brakes are now sorted. A self build in uk starts from £5,000 for a small van, so Spain seems a cheaper option. Just carry on with Vinnie until he's had enough, don't think he's ready to retire 😢. Love the drone footage❤
Spain isn’t a cheaper option. The 400-700 euro is just for paperwork.
awwwww, Thankyou.. We will! ☺️☺️xx
👍👍👍you are amazing guys
Like us and other motorvaners this 22/23 winter you have the costa blanca bug. We loved it. Came back 10 days ago. Like you it was hot. I only had jumpers. Luckily I did have some lacey vests with me. We stayed in the many motorvan sites in this area. It is wonderful up in the mountains behind too.
We will be going back. Already booked a site for xmas. We loved the area, the busy in winter bit (despite the fact we are loners) the weather. We just loved it. Not for the summer but out of season good. And the amount of north Europeans, crazy. And all the old towns as well, just like Andulucia.
La manga strip don't miss sunset..we live punta brava near Nietos
👍 Cool -- your probably back south now but ma mate who lives in Algeciras msg me yesterday saying it was 20c at 11am and the bay was like a millpond -- dead calm
Another fabulous video guys brilliant content great shots of the dogs brilliant stuff have a blessed weekend chaps 🎉
gud vid - looking forward to watching you in Benidorm
Keep Vinny ❤ As long as he stays dry inside, keep him. As you said you have fixed some big things on Vinny. You would be mad to get rid of him😊
You know what you got, and with all new parts ..... 😀
I just started watching the video but I think it’s really exciting that you guys are almost to 60,000 subscribers now. Yay! It’s about darn time. You know I love your channel. I never understood why others didn’t follow along faster. 🥰 I am with Nick the devil you know is is better than the devil you don’t know. The price of new vans and new homes nowadays is absolutely ridiculous.
Thankyou.. Yeah the channel is slowly creeping up! We’re happy.. sending love to you and hope you’re having a great weekend 😊
Dratters, thought I saw you guys & wanted to say Hi.
Unfortunately, just arrived back in UK this evening 😢
