    Arid regions don’t put threaded taps because water thieves will bring a tanker and fill it for ‘free’ at public expense and sell it or use it for irrigation. Sad but true…love your adventures and Sandra is the perfect traveling companion!!!

      Soy de la zona y la verdad me parece francamente difícil que un gran camión cisterna tenga suficiente tiempo los que se aprovechan del.agua para llenarlo y luego la vendan; a cuanto? no compensa no tiene sentido eso no ocurre otra cosa son los pozos de aguas subterraneas no declarados en las parcelas cultivadas ; un saludo

    How beautiful of Vincent and Kathleen to help you out and show such hospitality and generosity. These values go back to ancient times and it's nice to see people still willing to open their homes and hearts to help travellers along their way.

    Really enjoying all your videos, had an idea for the water tap problem, if you have a funnel, take the fittings off the end of hose pipe and insert he funnel.nozzle into the hose and hold under the tap, hope it works😊 take care and best wishes

    What a fantastic video. I’m not sure why I enjoy them so much, I think it’s just watching people enjoying the simple things in life, travelling, good company and enjoying every minute of it. Wishing you both good health and safe travels👍

    Hey Heidi, great vid as usual. The little orange you bit into ( naughty Sandra 🤭 ) is probably a Calamondin. They are mainly grown as ornamentals because they are exceedingly tart but they do make excellent marmalade. The other one is a kumquat, specifically a Nagami Kumquat. You can tell by the oblong shape. They are also used for marmalade and candied peel. The ones that are usually eaten skin and all are rounder ones called Meiwas. The rest of the citrus looked wonderful. 🍊🍋. Safe travels you two. 🧡🤗🧡

    It's amazing. You kept your cool despite the Police interferance. Scary as the laws in each country are all different. I noticed I was number 999 comment. Police not required thank you. Pirates and Guardian Angels must be looking after you. You got away! Where I live I used to work at a gas station & grocery store. Next door was a Biker Bar. I served Hells Angels and tattooed Pirates along with Bull Riding Rodeo Cowboys. All were and still are Guardian Angels now invisible but still active. It makes for interesting energies. Stay safe, enjoy the mountains and have a wonderful time. Lots of magic wafting your way me hearties, ❤ from Arizona. PS I was 999 comment on this vlog. 😮 We use 911 over here for emergency issues. 😊❤😊

    Hello Heidi, Sandra, Bonnie and Sandra's two fur kids ... thank you to Vincent and Kathleen for being a host to you. That was wonderful and I know you guys had a wonderful time visiting. I love the drone video portions and it is so nice to see sun and beautiful ocean scenery. Thank you for letting me ride along each week. Winter here in California (USA) has been dark and gloomy and riding along has made it so much more enjoyable. Please save me a seat for next week and give all the fur kids a scratch behind the ears. Hugs and best wishes to all ... Gramma Lainee ... may we know peace in our lifetime.

      I really enjoyed your trip down the Eastern side of Spain.
      The Spanish police are quite proactive and unless you can speak Spanish it can be quite alarming being held by the fuzz. 😂
      That's a huge water pipe you have acquired.
      By the way, don't ask a Spaniard if you can take his picture as it loosely translates to a man's thingy. 😅
      Have fun, stay safe. ❤

It's a shame that the police sent you all away just to take the ancient caravan off the site. It's really nice to see that you're going through places that I've been on holiday at over 20 odd years. Take care and all the best. Stevie

    If you get a funnel, or cut off the top of a bottle, you could stick the thin part in your hose, and hold it up to the public taps with the wide funnelly part.
    That would save splashing yourself too much..
    could work..

    Hi there. We are motorhomers who live in the province of Cadiz. Obviously you are not aware that you cannot wild camp anywhere in Spain or Portugal now, only stay on authorised sites. You may find some local councils that have their own aires but wild camping in the country is a no, no. A lot of motorhomers have been fined and if you do not move when asked the Guardia Civil will confiscate your vehicle. Paul. Hope you continue to enjoy our lovely country.😁
