We arrived at the very tip of Spain at Tarifa which was a haven for kite surfers with miles and miles of sandy beaches. The town itself had lots of trendy surfer type shops and a lively nightlife. We drove into Algeciris to check out the ferry prices and crossings. We good a good deal and bought our tickets for the next day.The campsite was busy with travellers from all over Europe some on the way to Marocco but was the dearest yet at 24 Euros per night.

The houses are owned by pilgrim revellers who converge on the...

It was a bit cold and windy so I popped into Zara and bought a coat as we weren´t dressed properly for the ...

We spent the first night camping on a small site and when we got up next morning it was 0 degrees and there were patches of old snow on the ground. The campsite was at the back of a small motel with a restaurant.  Later in the trip we spoke to people who came through Burgos two weeks after us and caught caught in snow storms wich dumped about 2ft of snow and caught the Spanish out as they were not expecting it and wagons and lorries were stuck on the roads a...
