12 June 2009 - Port Barcares

We’re using campsites from a Dutch camping club called ACSI, where you get discounted rates off season. One of the good things about it is that it states the campsites that will accommodate the larger vehicles, i.e. us!

However, this was the first case where we think they may have over-estimated their ability as the trees were low and the lanes very narrow.

We found one pitch that had plenty of shade, but shade means no satellite access! Shade was more important at the time as we were right by the Med (100m) and the temperatures were in the low 30s.

This was all after we’d caused a bit of a traffic jam as nobody told us we had to park up and wander into the site, so we ended up stuck at the barrier without the code to get in and two cars behind us so we could not reverse! We sorted things out in the end but it did not endear us to the site, and they didn’t seem to cater for motorhomes.

The only reason we stayed was we’d wandered down to the Med and it looked like a nice place to visit....and there were two cycle rides we’d spotted that we wanted to do. We stopped off at a little bar and had ourselves a beer and wine then wandered back to chill out.
