We spent over two months in Spain this autumn and stayed mostly on campsites where we could use our ACSI discount card. We had an occasional night staying on an aire. These were all good and as we are trying to save money we could have done more. Most campsites were a reasonable price but the one in Toledo was exceptionally expensive. The list is below with my notes on how we found each spot.

Excellent. We spend a lot of time in campsites or just sleeping on a beach or nice grassy area. We have a van as well and travel all over with her. Her name is Amelie.

I think our campervan is the best way to travel. We have missed it very much this last few months and can’t wait to get out again. We’ll look out for Amelie (and you) when we next get to Spain 🙂
