Tips, Trips, and Stories From Our Worldly TravelsVall de Boí: Romanesque Churches, Mountain Walks and Motorhome Stops
We visited the Vall de Boí towards the end of the season and used two different parking areas during our stay: one at Pla de l’Ermita and the other in Barruera. They offered quite different facilities, but both were useful for exploring the valley. At Pla de l’Ermita,...
El Pont de Suert: Shopping and Local Life in the Pyrenees
El Pont de Suert: Shopping and Local Life in the Pyrenees We stopped in El Pont de Suert to do some shopping, as it is the main service centre in this part of the Pyrenees and the best place in the surrounding area to find several supermarkets. Smaller villages nearby...
Er Espitau de Vielha: Free Parking near the Vielha Tunnel
We stopped at this parking area during the day and found it a good place to take a break. The car park is spacious, and we easily found a shaded space for our 23-foot-long motorhome at around 10 am. It was quiet and not particularly busy, despite being close to the...
La Peülla: A Mountain Parking Area near the Port de la Bonaigua
We stopped at the parking area beside the La Peülla chairlift station in the Catalan Pyrenees. The main drawback was the slope: much of the car park is quite uneven, so finding a level place can be difficult. However, we managed to find a suitable spot for our...
La Guingueta d’Àneu: A Quiet Daytime Stop in the Pyrenees
We stopped at La Guingueta d’Àneu for a short rest during the day. The parking area is relatively small and the spaces are a little narrow, but we easily found a place for our 23-foot-long motorhome early in the morning. It was an excellent place to take a break: very...
Rialp: A Practical Motorhome Stop beside the River
We stopped in Rialp at the end of September and found the motorhome area a convenient place to stay. There were many other motorhomes already parked, but we still easily found one of the three officially marked motorhome pitches. The pitches are on tarmac and the area...
La Seu d’Urgell: The Romanesque Cathedral and the Bishop Who Shares the Rule of Andorra
We stopped in La Seu d’Urgell at the end of September, while travelling through the Pyrenees between Spain and Andorra. We stayed at the motorhome area on Camí de Sant Ermengol, a very central location that makes it convenient to explore the town. By the end of the...
Andorra: Discovering a Small Country in the Heart of the Pyrenees
Our journey through Andorra took us from busy shopping streets and the modern capital to quiet mountain car parks, forested slopes and high-altitude landscapes. Travelling through the Principality in the second half of September gave us the opportunity to experience...
Ordino and the Tristaina Lakes: A Quiet Stop in the High Pyrenees
Our stop in Ordino took us well beyond the village itself, into the high mountains of the Ordino-Arcalís resort. We arrived out of season and found an enormous parking area that was almost completely deserted. There was plenty of room, nobody bothered us and we felt...
La Massana: Four Nights in the Mountains beside the Pal Arinsal Bike Park
La Massana: Four Nights in the Mountains beside the Pal Arinsal Bike Park We spent four nights in the La Massana area in late September, staying at the Caubella-Pal motorhome parking area, right beside the Pal Arinsal Bike Park. It was a very different experience from...
