Alvor is somewhere we want to try, it looked like quite the trek to the beach from the town? About how long of a walk to get to that nice sandy beach would you say?
@Doggonemotorhomeadventures16 күн бұрын
We headed for the quieter side due to taking the dogs which probably took about 15-20 mins but you could cut to the lovely big beach much earlier so maybe 10-15 mins max We thoroughly loved Alvor and is one of our favourites- vibrant small town so quiet but with plenty of restaurants etc to enjoy

Lagos is really wonderful actually! We stayed there in 2023 and had the most wonderful time, beautiful beaches and cliffs and boardwalks. We like the quiet but with some options for amenities too, just in case you ever go back I’d recommend giving Lagos a try.

Hi how much was the ferry’s and how many hours is the ferry to Italy thanks
@Doggonemotorhomeadventures4 ай бұрын
Hi - the ferry cost €364.10 from Greece to Italy and we left around 5pm and arrived at around 10am. We did the camping on board option which we found fine but our friends didn’t get a good night sleep as it also docks in igouminista to pick up other vehicles and they were parked closer to the rear and also on the edge and it did get a bit rough sailing across.

Patras to Bari - it was the same price igouminista to Bari. It was out of season (right at the end of October) and we booked it a couple of weeks before - I know a couple of weeks to sail beforehand they were fully booked and presumably price would be higher and not sure if they run throughout the winter months.

Con respecto a las "strange structures"😄, son "horreos" se usaban antiguamente para almacenar y conservar alimentos, principalmente cereales. La peculiar forma de sus patas era para evitar que los ratones pudiesen subir y comerse los alimentos que se guardaban dentro de los horreos. Están protegidos por decreto ley desde 1973. El conjunto de horreos que hay en el pueblo de Combarro estan declarados Monumento histórico- artístico. En Galicia y norte de Portugal los construyen de piedra, en Asturias los habréis visto de madera y base cuadrangular, son distintos pero cumplían la misma función proteger y almacenar alimentos antiguamente.

Muchos peregrinos que hacen "El Camino de Santiago" después de llegar a Santiago de Compostela continúan camino hasta el Cabo Finisterre. Con respecto a la bota de bronce se trata de un pequeño monumento, una bota de peregrino sobre una roca en el mismo Cabo Finisterre, originalmente eran dos botas juntas, pero una la robaron. El monumento hace referencia a la ancestral tradición de los peregrinos de quemar las ropas usadas en la peregrinación y dejar las botas. Sugerencia; no dejéis de ver, Isla de La toja, Combarro y Baiona en vuestro camino hacia Portugal o el día que podáis en el futuro. Bonito video como siempre.

@Doggonemotorhomeadventures7 ай бұрын
Hi we generally try to get to the warmth of Spain as quick as possible when we go Feb/March time (and also sometimes meet up with our friends so have little time to wander down through France). On our return leg we spend time meandering through France and use the smaller roads so it depends on what we are doing.

Great question. Using the motorways is an expensive mistake. To do the distances shown on this video using the N roads would have been easy. No red traffic jams either.

@@davidmatthews3093 agree non motorway routes are better and we try to avoid them on the return leg. We do use the n10 which is a great road and we have previously done the d910 but all the roundabouts put us off that route. Each time is an adventure so welcome suggestions.

Thanks for watching. The issues were very stressful and the ferry we caught just amplified our stress unfortunately. We had done this route many times and was usually 4 hour crossing. However when it’s later in the day, as it goes dark the ferry slows, it was in fact a 51/2 hour crossing. There were also way more motorhomes on board than ever before and we had only earmarked the Dieppe ferry. So the stresses just kept on coming.

Great video! I have been using a regular trailer covered. I guess the only issue with open trailer would be the dog might get some dirt on his eyes from the rear tire. As I travelled with my dog, I noticed on a rainy day or dirt road, he had to deal with splash/dirt from rear tire unless he faces backward. Other than that, the single wheel trailer can be a lot more safer on corners! Thank you for the video!

Thank you. We got her some doggles to protect her eyes and she didn’t mind wearing them at all. We all loved if for a year or so and better for narrower trails. However, We now use the burley tail wagon with added suspension for both dogs as I had an accident and no longer felt safe enough to manage the single wheel trailer. Great for smaller dogs but under 18kg but a bit more of a handful for 20+kg dogs I decided following non bike related accident and injury. Added suspension for the trailer is a must for us Enjoy biking with your dog
