An early start on the Sunday with the intention to leave shortly after the main gates opened – probably the coolest gates we have seen – since they use ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) to open and close the barriers for the car.

The ever helpful campsite staff had withdrawn a moveable post to allow us to manoeuvre the caravan off the pitch a little easier. They were on-hand to open barriers for us before the ANPR and wished us a safe journey.
The journey was smooth and uneventful, covering around 400 miles in some seven to eight hours, arriving later in the afternoon at Haro.

We found a nice pitch but after discovering the electrical hook-up lacked an earth grounding, we unwound all of our cables to reach a nearby electrical cabinet. Maybe we are paranoid but I put great faith in our mains tester and after all, electricity has an earth cable for a reason… At least that’s what my Physics degree taught me!
Haro has some beautifully restored “Bodegas” (wineries) which we intended on visiting the following morning. The town itself is a little “scruffy” in places but we enjoyed a beer or two outside one of the cafes and then dined in a local Tapas bar.
