Of all the beaches we've seen in Spain so far, this has to be Spain's most beautiful beach.

We have now found a super nice campsite called El Templo del Sol, a bit southwest of Tarragona.

Read moreEvery Tuesday evening Norwegians and Swedes meet in Benidorm at the El Raco campsite, at the campsite's restaurant. We live on the neighbouring campsite, but were invited by Kjell and Solveig who have the blog Kjell and Solveig's motorhome blog (http://fahlen.info/). The whole three long tables were laid out in the restaurant and it was a nice dinner.
Read moreHere are 10 things to do in Benidorm, on the Costa Blanca in Spain. Benidorm is the largest and most famous holiday resort on the Mediterranean coast, with 3000 hours of sunshine and beautiful sandy beaches. The entertainment offer is huge with shopping, bars and nightclubs. If you can't walk ... drive a permobile as many people do here. Marvel at the tall skyscrapers and drink cava in the Spanish Quarter.
Read moreWe had actually intended to make a slightly longer stop in Torrevieja, and maybe meet both bloggers and friends of friends, but that did not happen. The timing was not quite right, and then we did not find a good place where we wanted to stay either. So it was a quick visit!
