Have you toured alone abroad? First time I've done this. Any tips or things to watch out for? |
I have toured alone abroad a few times.
Rode down through France to Spain in 2012.
I found camping in Spain much more expensive than France although I was mainly on the east coast and it was August.
I don't plan too much in advance. Choose your route when you get up in the morning. Go where looks interesting and stick to the back roads to see the real country.
Try to speak the lingo even if you're awful at it.
People are much more helpful if you try.
Camping wild is ok but you don't meet anyone. Campsites are friendly, there are other lone travellers and bars to get drunk in.

See my sig of my trip.
In short. There are campsites everywhere in Spain of varying quality.
I found the earth to be rock solid in the middle bit of Spain or to be dry and would get pulled out by the tent bending. So bring some chisels and a hammer to use as tent pegs.
Or bring a free standing tent.
Also importantly bring a modular sleeping bag. It can be roasting hot and it can be extremely cold during clear night skies. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

Bit surprised that you cannot find decent a decent Camping in Spain because there are lots of really good Campings. If you drop the name of a few places you are looking to stay, I can check for some sites for you. You can also have a look in this website, very useful:
https://www.eurocampings.co.uk/spain/
Also avoid road Hostals, they are terrible and a relic of when trucks did not have cots on the cabins.
If you are looking for cheaper alternatives, look for "Pension", some you share dorm, and quality differs a lot, but you can find them in most parts of the city. Out of city hotels can be found very cheap too. ____________________ A por ellos, que son pocos y cobardes. |
