A big days towing and because we had arrived late the night before in Haro, we hadn’t been able to pay on arrival. That meant waiting until reception opened at 09:00 and after engaging in a discussion about driving routes with some fellow Brits, we didn’t actually leave until 09:45.

With 760km to cover, this would be a big day but the roads were excellent and free of traffic allowing us to cruise at the speed limit virtually all day. The Sorento pulls like a train and one forgets that there is 1400kg of Caravan floating along behind. The Sorento was new late last year and this was the first Eurotrip in the beast. The built-in satnav performed flawlessly for the entire journey and we arrived in Dolores sometime after 18:00.

 

Sheppards Rest is a small site run by a British lady and has accommodation for around 6 outfits, being located in the countryside just north of Dolores.
