Getaria

Getaria is a little town in the shore of Euskadi. It's a great place for enjoy a weekend.

There is a car park where you can be, but only if it isn't summer. When you're there you see the beach, the sea and the port from your camping car.

There are many thinks to do. For example:

• There is a small mountain, called San Anton, that is easy to climb.
• There is a beautiful road to Zarautz that goes near the coast. It has 3,5 km, so it isn't long. At the end you can walk along the Zarautz's beach.
• For the fashioners there is the Cristobal Balenciaga museum.
• The town has a wonderful old part for be walking. It's very popular the fish and you can eat it on every bar.
• If the weather is good you can go to the beach and if the weather is bad there are going to be amazing waves.

Travel

 




This time, I travel at the weekend and on the Monday. I went to Navarra and La Rioja.

I leaved home on Saturday morning and I arrived to Briones at the noon. I visited the little town. I saw the Church with the tall bell tower, the rampart and another old buildings. After lunch I went to Alfaro. There I saw the Church in Spain with more storks. To finish the day I went to Cascante.

The Sunday I went to the thermoludic. It had a big pool with the water at 33ºC and streams for relaxing. I past all the day, but eat at the camping car. Cascante has too a good old part with some buildings and the Roman road.

On Monday I pass the morning at Logroño. It's the capital city of La Rioja. It had a very big cathedral. The day was cold and the Ebro river was nearly overflowing. At the afternoon I went back to Bilbao.

Types

There are lots of brands of camping cars, but all use one of this types:

• Motor home. This camping cars are like trucks or buses but prepared for living in. They are the most expensive. They had usually all the comfort of a house and a lot of luxury (big TVs, a car under it...).

• Camper van. It's a normal van but with the interior changed. Some people instead of buy one like that, they buy a van and do the changes that they want.

  

• There are some camping cars that look like a motor home but smaller. They usually are the second more expensive.

  

• Some models have the front part lower. It's more aerodynamic. My camping car is of this type.

 

• This one have a bed above the cabin. It's used for families with children and for people that have his first camping car.

A weekend

The camping car is for little weekend, too. This time I've been in Cantabria.

On Friday afternoon I went to Lierganes. There I visit the Roman Bridge. It isn't really built from Romans, but that's the way they call it. I past the night there and the next day I went to Alceda. There was a beautiful route that I do with my bike. The weather was so rainy and I finished wet.

I went back to Lierganes for past the night and on Sunday I went to Santoña. In the morning I had a walk along the shore. After have the lunch I came back to Bilbao.
