Luckily I felt better and driving went fine. In the area of Valencia the navigation system took an unexpected route back home via the Atlantic coast and central France. First we were hesitating, but after another online weather check we decided to give it a try as the forecast for the west of France looked better than the one for the east. It also gave us the chance to see something new instead of just following back the route we took when we came down here.
In the area of Teruel we got some blue sky and sun for the first time this day and saw some stunning landscapes. Between Saragossa and Pamplona we saw some more hillsides filled with solar panels and hilltops full of wind turbines, which was really encouraging to see.
We first considered staying in Pamplona for the night but didn’t like the possible camper parks and continued driving all the way until France. Across the border in France there are plenty of official camper parks. First we tried the one in Biarritz but there was no space left. One city further on in Anglet there was enough room for us on a large camper park where we arrive around 23:00.
