I have just read previous post.
I strongly recommend that you do not wild camp in Spain with a minor - especially where there are lorries. Spain is going through a major financial depression and there are a lot of itinerant workers and no work available.

In October 2013 we spent 3 weeks doing a 3000 mile tour round Spain, even on the campsites there were men going through the bins (very sad), although we never felt that our stuff was unsafe.

As for not paying at a campsite - well you're conscience and karma will dictate your actions but I feel that things are bad enough in Spain, to steal their livelyhood as well !!!!!

I'm based in Lisbon. Toured Portugal last October for three weeks.

PM if you'd like.

Yes I agree, the Pyrinees have some amazing winding roads (try and get "lost" on the small ones when going from France into Spain). And then there is an amazing tiny little road along the rocky coast from San Sebastian to Sopelana (next to Bilbao). It goes past the campsite in San Sebastian (well its just outside of town to the west up a hill on the coast). Don't follow signs directly to Bilbao, stick to the coast.

We went from London to Lieria in Portugal August 2013. Here's our blog: Portugal Summer 2013 | followingtarmac We've roughly included the route but if you want more info, just PM

Have a great trip!

I know this is an old post. But for the sake of my-self and other's, I find I must post. If there was a religion called Karma it would be mine. I well believe that what go's round come's round. As to the camp site thing. When I pull in to a site I don't have it in my mind to rip the guy off, or get a few night's for free. But it so happen, that's what come's about. One in mind under the bridge at Millau on the A 75, in France. I pulled in to a site. No one about. And that was riding round looking. Found the office, but that was closed. In the end I see a chap with a broom and a bin cart. So asked about putting up a tent. Not only did he tell me where but walked over to the pitch and showed me. Said about paying, latter is about all I got. So latter it was. I think I stayed three night's there. Each day asking about paying, each time told latter. On the last day when I could not stay any longer. I packed up, me and the bike. Knew where the man lived in one of the bungalow's on site. Stopped knocked on his door and asked about paying. He just shook his head and told me to go. That what I mean about you can get some of them for free. I have a few more like that. Come the week end, show you a small area to pitch your tent. Come to pay. Only to be told it was free that day. It look's like the French like to help people who travel.
