Hi Simon

Thanks for responding. Yes I would be pleased to have 2 0r 3 sites you can recommend on the coast and also the road you used to cross country and the site halfway. All info will be most useful.We will be starting off from Olhao a club site down South Portugal.

Cheers

Hi hopefully this may help

Not been south of Ovar so cant help between Olhao and there but at Ovar there is a Municipal site on the beach, follow the Campismo signs from the IP1/IC1 (IP1 Junction 17) its lovely there and the town is good too

Near Porto in Vila Nova de Gaia there are 3 sites within 2 miles at Matosinhos if you are on the IP1 cross over 2 the IC1/A17 and come off N109 Espinho follow signs to Madalana You will see the sea front drive along and choose site ! There is a super bus service to Porto & also to the Port wine caves which are 10 minutes away by car/bus. Porto is a favourite of ours for its mix of old and new, river and sea, but thats just us.

We have gone in and out of Spain on 2 roads, the first which s far prettier/scenic is the IP4/E82 from Porto to Braganca There is a huge hill at Vila Real which is 10/15 mins solid climb. From Braganca follow the E82 into Spain,onto Zamora-Valladolid-Burgos etc The other route is the IP5 to Guarda linking with E80 into Spain to Salamanca-Valladolid etc.

There is a site just outside Valladolid Camping Cubillas which is fine for an overnight, the bar is a bit rough and ready but its ok If you go via Braganca there are a couple of sites there and an old citadel if you like that sort of thing

The first IP4 route has some stunning scenery/lakes and beyond Vila Real is as easy as the other route

Rather than carrying on,dont want to bore you ! If there is anything else you want to know please dont hesitate to ask

Hope your trip is good, Simon
