Tips, Trips, and Stories From Our Worldly TravelsArnedo: A Quiet Free Motorhome Stop in La Rioja
We stopped in Arnedo during the day and found a very quiet and peaceful place to park. We were travelling out of season, so the parking area was almost empty, and there was plenty of room for our 23-foot motorhome. The surface was paved, which made parking...
Sendanatura and Sendaviva: Nature Trails and Motorhome Parking beside the Bardenas Reales
Our stop at Sendanatura, near Arguedas in Navarre, was also a convenient opportunity to spend time in the unusual landscape around the Bardenas Reales. We used the external parking area for buses and motorhomes near the Sendaviva park. We were there out of season and...
Bardenas Reales: A Semi-Desert of Eroded Hills and Cultivated Fields
We visited Bardenas Reales in Navarre, Spain, after hearing a great deal about this famous semi-desert landscape. Our experience, however, was rather different from the expectations created by the photographs and descriptions we had seen. In many places, the scenery...
Parque del Agua, Zaragoza: A Quiet Motorhome Stop in a Park Created for Expo 2008
When visiting Zaragoza, we chose the car park at Parque del Agua because the other places we considered seemed either noisy or unattractive. We were there out of season, and there were only a couple of other motorhomes scattered around the large parking area. Finding...
Riglos: Motorhome Parking beneath the Mallos
We visited Riglos and parked in the authorised parking area for motorhomes near the entrance to the village. We stayed for four hours during the day and paid €6. When we arrived, we easily found a space for our 23-foot-long motorhome in a corner of the car park....

Loarre Castle is one of the most important medieval monuments in Aragón. It stands on a rocky outcrop at approximately 1,071 metres above sea level, in the province of Huesca, overlooking the Hoya de Huesca plain. Its position was chosen for strategic reasons: from...
Bolea: A Quiet Motorhome Stop and the Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor
We stopped in Bolea towards the end of the season, when there were only two other motorhomes in the parking area. As a result, there was plenty of space available, and we had no difficulty accessing the area with our 23-foot-long motorhome. The stopover is not...
Barbastro: Motorhome Services, a Lidl Stop and a City We Didn’t Enjoy
Barbastro was not a town we particularly liked. We found it rather unattractive, with several poorly maintained areas and streets that felt narrow and cramped. Our visit was mainly practical rather than touristic: we used the motorhome service area to empty and refill...
Arén: A Basic Motorhome Stop on the N-230
We stopped at this parking area near Arén during the day. It is very close to a busy road, so traffic noise is noticeable, but otherwise it was perfectly fine for a short break. Although the location is somewhat isolated, we felt reasonably safe and nobody bothered...
Sopeira: A Free Stop beside the Escales Reservoir
We stopped at a small esplanade beside the N-230 road, overlooking the Escales Reservoir near Sopeira. Even after heavy rain, the ground remained firm, and there was plenty of space for our 23-foot-long motorhome. The location felt a little spooky, and traffic on the...
