You should have had garlic alioli with the anchovies. Fantastic! Glad you are enjoying yourself. De-beard the mussels first then into a pot with onion, garlic, and white wine, hot of course. Tip in mussels, lid back on. 2 minutes and they are ready. They will have opened. Crusty bread to dip in. Yum yum. Xx
Hi. Loving your vlogs from sunny Spain. Glad to hear Dolly getting better. Just a tip about mussels, after you’ve eaten one use the empty clam as pinchers to get the rest out. I love mussels, yet to convert Brian 😂
Mr Reds, it was tights last week and now it’s Mrs Reds melons. I don’t think you should be talking about Mrs Reds attributes at this time of day😇😇 it’s really nice to see you both looking well and happy again 🙏🙏Jon 🇦🇺
I had a Rick Stein cooking experience as a gift from my daughters last year in Padstow Cornwall. And the head chef teaching us explained that if a fresh mussel is slightly open don't right it off. Tap it gently on the worktop if it's still alive it will close. So it will be fine to cook and eat. Great vlogs guys.
As you head down the coast head up to Castell de Guadalest, the drop in to villajoyosa, Alicante is worth a visit, follow the 332 down the coast - lots of interesting places. Skip Torrevieja, cut in at San Pedro del pinatar and explore the Mar Menor. Spend some time around here - cabo de palos is lovely. Cartagena is wonderful, so much to explore - Google the old bateria's then make your way to Port de mazarron. Another must is Mojacar - not just the playa but head up in to the village.
Amazing 🥰 really appreciate all your recommendations, so many places to see , we love the old towns and history .. all sounds right up our street 🥰❤️ much appreciated 🙂
We absolutely loved Denia as well! We were there in December, and had 2 nights in each of the aires you went to. If you want a good Indian takeaway, there's one on the roundabout by the marina park-up called Rani Palace. If you go along the main road and pass the 2nd marina, there's a lovely raised walkway going around the back of the marina. A great bar there overlooking the water.
It’s lovely isn’t it ! We have had a good walk over the last few days and found the walkway , it’s fab xx , we love Indian but we are on a tapas tour and it’s not stopping anytime soon 😂 thanks for commenting xx
Denia looked amazing. We have 2 weeks over Christmas. Do you think thats enough time to get down to that area? Totally newbies so pretty clueless. Thanks ❤😊
Wow ! 2 weeks over Xmas , amazing ! Yes, you’ll be fine with 2 weeks, it’s a lovely area xx people do Benidorm for the same period, and Denia isn’t as far 🙂
Yes , loved that one Redders's , I'm on catch up , missed one somewhere but I'll find it . We've come to a standstill in Benicassim but we love it here so we'll put our feet up for a few weeks and let you youngsters do the racing around and we'll watch you do it on here . Take care all , love from the older Redders's .
Great vlog again, good to see you're all having a great time, looks a brilliant place. Had redders been drinking when you had your 3 course meal?😀😀 Nothing wrong with that of course, enjoy guys 👍😀
Your motorhome looks so glossy after the treatment it had. Nice beach for poppy to enjoy. Fab photos. Think maybe we should give our van a ride out. We haven't been in it since we got back from Spain/Portugal trip at the end of Nov. 😊
Hey lovelies - great video the food looked lush I’ve not had Anchovies like that and that fruit and veg looked amazing 😻 !! So pleased to hear Dolly’s legs on the mend. Great video loved the drone shots Redders ❤ safe travels 🥰😘 xxx
Thanks guys ! Hope you are keeping well xx it’s a lovely place, Dolly is doing so well 🥰 loved the market and huge melons xx 😍 glad the drone comes back when called 🤣
@@redsgotravels you and your melons 😂😂 yeah we’re all good thanks guys busy busy though 🙄😫 the storm here tonight is horrific!! Xxx safe travels guys 🥰 xxx
Denia looks fantastic 😍 both park ups are great but good to know they don't have services, so best to turn empty. Seems strange to get a token for water from the Police station. Absolutely loving the food choices, that sea bass 🤤 we're trying to cut down...make some room for tapas in a couple of months!! Looking forward to Benidorm 🤩❤️❤️
You're right, never cook an open mussel. If it's open and you press it closed for a couple of seconds and it stays closed it's fine. Raw mussels shouldn't have any smell 😊
Please stop eating fish heads!!😂😂 We would need those filleted 😂. As for mussels 😢😢. We've travelled extensively in France and I used to really Bouillabaisse but sadly I dare nor try it now because of my allergy to molluscs. Looking like your living the dream. Dolly appears to be improving too. Stay safe guys and safe travels. PS you're missing an awful storm here. Sid and Nicola, Rugby
🤣yup ! You’ll see Redders ate the middle but , won’t eat head , butt or eyes 🤮 middle bit okay 😂 glad to be missing the storm , hope you stay safe x ❤️
I cant believe that you have travelled to spain but you missed out OLIVA, PEGO, GANDIA. Just following other vanlifers to get to Benidorm Im disappointed,
Ahhh don’t be disappointed! We have a big list and those places are on it, we are out here til March! Our preference is always going to be more authentic. Benidorm is not exactly the sort of place we prefer, but we will enjoy showing the contrasts.

Most of the marina bars were shut unfortunately, but we didn’t hold back on the tapas ! 😂
Stunning scenery from the castle! Looks an amazing place, doggies enjoying it just as much as you both. Have fun. Xx ❤

Nice melons 😂😍 .. I love mussels and you was right corrin .. we didn’t get to denia , maybe next time x
😂it’s lovely ! Well worth the visit xx ❤️
Guessing you are heading for Benidorm, but you should do Moraira first. The Jewell of the Costa Blanca north. Free parking at the main car park.
Thankyou for the recommendation 🥰 much appreciated x
Great vlog. Really enjoyed. Pleased to see your three girls so happy Redders 💖
Well done trying fishy food 🦐
Hasta luego 👍
❤️🥰aww Thankyou , yes , when in Spain .. gotta be done 🌞🇪🇸 much appreciated x

Aww thanks guys , yes lovely to meet you , we feel inspired to travel to Nord app .. really sounded great xx , safe travels ❤️
@redsgotravels you won't regret it even if you stay in the South / mid Nordics I'm sure 😉 👍🏻
@tkits40 Thankyou so much x

Aww thanks guys ! It’s lovely here from you , so much better than we thought, we just got back from a tapas run , so it’s relax time now ❤️ xxx
Great information guys 😊
Aww thank Lynne 🥰
Looks great..which restaurant did you have the sea bass & cheesecake? Enjoy
Luz de Luna was the restaurant ! Very nice ❤️🇪🇸
When they're cooked, you mustn't eat the ones that stayed closed. Only eat the opened ones. 😋
Thankyou ❤️ much appreciated x
Altea is lovely, and use the tram/train
Morning Nick ! Appreciate your recommendation, it’s on the list 👌☀️🥰
You're right, never cook an open mussel. If it's open and you press it closed for a couple of seconds and it stays closed it's fine. Raw mussels shouldn't have any smell 😊
Thankyou Tanya 🙂 much appreciated xx
3 am is the normal time the local councils empty there big communal bins...I've noticed that everywhere I go in Spain ....😅
😂ok , avoid parking by them in future ! 😂
@@redsgotravels good advice 👌 😆 🤣
Indeed 😂
Enjoyed your vlog 🐩🐩😘
Thankyou so much xx ❤️🥰
Great vlog guys. We are just north of Denia on a site.
Have you found LPG easy to get ?? We are still using our from filling up at Pamplona
Thankyou ! 🥰 we are looking to top up soon, I’ve been looking but it’s not as available as other places we’ve been through x
Nearest one to Denia is in Javea it's on the my lpg website
@retro423 Thankyou , we are heading there tomorrow 🥰❤️👍
💯 right about cooking mussels. 😊
Thankyou ! 🥰 wasn’t sure x

Is the aire actually on the marina. I have found two near but not on the marina. I love Denia but it will be my first time in campervan
Yes 🥰 it’s on the marina , we put the what 3 words up too xx
Javea is nice too
Thanks for the recommendation 🇪🇸🙂
If they are open when you wash them don't eat love them make sure they are fresh when brought
Thankyou, need to be careful with them for sure , luckily all fresh here 🥰
Hi I hope you don’t mind me saying but your last few videos I think have been really bright, might just be me though.
Morning Liz ! No problem, we are in a lot of sunlight lately , and will revisit the settings 🥰
In Granada province tapas is free ❤❤
🥰❤️now that’s lovely !
Shitty tapas are free, indeed. If you want to get the nice ones, you have to pay, as you do everywhere else in Spain.
Source: Spaniard. ;)
Gracias 🇪🇸
@@redsgotravels My pleasure. Please don´t rely on free tapas to evaluate Spanish food. They´re "free"... for a reason. ;)
Best!
😂we won’t , we understand 🥰😂🇪🇸🇪🇸
Get your feet off the table! 😂. Can’t take those hounds anywhere!
🐩🐾😂she is a cheeky one alright 😂
If mussels not open when cooked, don't eat😮
Thankyou ! Good to know , much appreciated x ❤️
I cant believe that you have travelled to spain but you missed out OLIVA, PEGO, GANDIA. Just following other vanlifers to get to Benidorm Im disappointed,
Ahhh don’t be disappointed! We have a big list and those places are on it, we are out here til March! Our preference is always going to be more authentic. Benidorm is not exactly the sort of place we prefer, but we will enjoy showing the contrasts.
Thank you so any people the chance of seeing the real costa blanca, and dismiss the costa brava completely. enjoy Benidorm😀 if you can
Thankyou ! 🥰
