Transfer day from Dolores to Begur. As luck would have it, we encountered heavy rain for the first time on the entire journey. It started right on cue with the task of stowing the outside items, moving the van and hitching up.

The preparation day previous wasn’t a resounding success as I had previously detached the removable towbar and safely stowed it under all our gear in the back of the Kia. Another lesson learnt. Even less surprising, was that the rain stopped just as we were pulling away from Sheppards Rest!

The drive was 432 miles according to the satnav and the journey was uneventful. Traffic was quiet (albeit busier in the Barcelona region) and we arrived as expected at Camping Begur just before 17:00.

Camping Begur is a 5-star site and is immaculately kept.

Everything was ready for our arrival and whilst a nice pitch had been allocated, we decided to explore the site on foot to find the perfect pitch. Having found just such a pitch, we realised that a group of Romanian travellers were almost next door playing loud music and generally doing everything possible to spoil the tranquil setting. Rather ironical that this was the day news broke in the Times of Nigel Farage’s comments about Romanian neighbours. Still we turned a blind eye to PC and quickly sought out a different area of the site.

We chose well. Peaceful plot and close to all the site amenities
