We are staying on a site near Vilanova i la Geltru, arrived on the 4th and are due to leave on the 13th, www. vilanovapark.es A large park with all the facilities but at the same time peaceful. At this time of year it seems to be largely occupied by British, German and Dutch, how come the Dutch speak such good English? Buses run to town from the park gate every thirty minutes stopping at the railway station offering a regular service to Barcelona. I would imagine that it would be a very busy site in the summer months. Most of the Brits that we have spoken to have been friendly and helpful. There appears to be a lot of networking with people sharing experiences. On Saturday Jan and I went for a drive to explore the area, including Aldi’s, or was it Liddls? Anyway we could see a bush fire in the hills some way off and lots of fire engines heading towards it. Don’t thing it was a very big one, however, can see how devastating they can be. Driving in Spain. The Spanish attitude in general is that there is no hurry, unless you get a parking ticket, your car will be towed away in minutes. They have lots of strips of black and white stripes that span the roads and resemble zebra crossings, do not be fooled. They park next to them, on them, have bus stops on them and even double park, cross one at your peril. It is entertaining to watch. Scooter riders play dodge the pedestrian, bus drivers will stop, if they are in the mood, and the police seem to ignore them.
