We leave Cรณrdoba mid afternoon the GPS set for a free aire in Puerto-Lรกpice. Itโs about a three hour drive north on the A4-E5. Whilst itโs a hot afternoon we are better driving than sitting around.
A couple of highway photos as we pass out of Andalucรญa into Castilla-La Mancha, my navigator come photographer had a little nap so not as many photos today.

We arrive in Puerto-Lรกpice some three hours later. The village is a couple of kms off the A4-E5 around 130 kms south of Madrid. The aire is easy to find and we soon drive in to find just one other motorhome already there. It has a GB number plate and they give us a friendly wave. We are soon hooked up to power and the air-conditioning starts doing its job.
We enjoy a quiet and comfortable night. Our plan is to drive on this morning but decide to walk around the village as they were kind enough to supply us with motorhome services and electricity for free.
We go further down the village to find three bus loads of Chinese tourists fussing around the toilets and taking selfies around statues of Don Quijote. I doubt Don Quijote is required reading in Chinese high schools.
Finally at the end of the village this little chapel.
So thatโs Puerto-Lรกpice, we walk back to the Hymer, do the services and roll out for Medinaceli…
