The most amazing cave- videos.trom.tf/w/hNQGWL9YRHyQ2…
The Cave of Nerja, in southern Spain, is absolutely enormous and was inhabited by humans thousands of years ago. Explorers have found cave paintings, human bones, and evidence of cave hyenas living in the cave around the same time as humans. The Nerja Cave also holds the largest stalactite in the world, measuring around 32 meters.
This was such an amazing experience for us, it is hard to show the immensity and uniqueness of this cave in a video or photos. We were also able to get in there for free as they give free tickets away every weekday at 9:30am. cuevadenerja.es/en/

The trail “El Chorro - Las Buitreras Lookout - Convento Peak” is described as “an experience similar to the famous Caminito del Rey without the crowds and the need to get an entrance ticket”... but is that the truth?
Here’s my experience and take on this beautiful 8.2-km loop trail overlooking the El Chorro gorge- videos.trom.tf/w/rohi7CzpDDmBg…

Sasha Solo Hiking above Caminito del Rey
Sasha went for a hike above the Caminito del Rey to see how it compares with the main, and paid for, Caminito del Rey hiking that we both did. She got to see some cool eagles, nice high peaks, and beautiful views. And put her life at risk a little bit :D.

El Caminito del Rey, in the south of Spain, was once considered the most dangerous hike in the world. Now it has been repaired and rebuilt with nice little walkways that give you a spectacular view of the steep and narrow gorge in El Chorro. Well worth a visit! This was one of the most amazing places we came across while traveling Spain in our motorhome.

Caminito Del Rey, once the most dangerous hike in the world....
This was the best place we visited so far, an amazing hike through a wonderful canyon. This hike was considered one of the most dangerous in the world up until 2015 or so, when they rebuilt it all to make it safe. The views are spectacular. Hard to showcase that in a video....but we did our best :).

Gobantes, Málaga, on our way to the famous Caminito del Rey hike in the south of Spain: videos.trom.tf/w/j5wZUdhrLwhLc…
We found some amazing places to park our motorhome, but one spot was very tricky to get out of. This was the biggest challenge for our Tortuga (motorhome) so far 😁
We also did the laundry again, bought a lot of groceries for our little fridge, and went for a nice hike around the area.

We almost didn't get out of this beautiful place
We went to the famous Caminito Del Rey in the South of Spain. But before we had to do the hike, we stopped for a few days in some near-by beautiful places. On particular was very nice, but almost impossible to get out. This was the most challenging for our Tortuga (motorhome) so far. We also did the laundry again, bought some food, and went for a nice walk around the area.

Here we stayed at Castillo de Setefilla, Andalucia for a few nights and managed to capture the core of the Milky Way: videos.trom.tf/w/h4sbDdKroLKuo…
We also sealed off our motorhome to protect it from water infiltration, and overall spent some 5 amazing days in this beautiful place.
Capturing the core of the Milky Way for the first time! With a phone.
We let the phone capture the night sky for 8 hours straight and managed to capture the Milky Way for the first time ever!We also sealed all of our motorhome to protect from water infiltration, and overall spent some 5 amazing nights in this beautiful place, Castillio de Setefilla!

How we do astrophotography with an old phone?
Cerro del Hierro, a very nice place where we stayed for a few days and were able to capture perhaps the most amazing nigthsky timelapse. Us, a bench, and the rest of the universe. And we explain how we do these photos/timelapses.We were also invaded by goats and Sasha went for a small hike between the beautiful rocks.

This is in Cerro del Hierro, in the Sierra Morena Natural Park. We stayed here for a few days and were able to capture perhaps our most amazing night-sky timelapse. Us, a bench, and the universe. And we explain how you can do this easily (if you have the right software on your phone).
We were also invaded by goats and I went for a small hike between the beautiful rocks.

Terrible...

Humans have divided themselves into tribes, groups, beliefs, genders, kinds, colors, etc.. In fact we are all the same, part of the same wonderful story of evolution. Of an universe that evolved into us and many other things.
So far there is little to no sign of intelligence on this planet.

The same is true of yeast however.
Religions are insane but politics is just secular religion.
I think we gain sanity when we stop trying to force unity.
We found a super nice motorhome area with services (including electricity) for 6 euros/night, but getting out of there was a bit tricky:
videos.trom.tf/w/vewyoFQd9VmYM…
I also found some donkeys and nice scenery in the hills surrounding Fuente del Arco :)
The best paid parking? And can we get out?
Fuente De was a surprisingly good paid parking. Just 6 euros for parking, water, and electricity. But when we tried to get out we realized that the only way out was uphill and near a big hole that was not there when we parked. It was really difficult to get the motorhome out of there... But we really liked that place in terms of motorhome parking.

Llerena, Extremadura, in the rain: videos.trom.tf/w/sDJEbPp1R2g1n…
We had really bad weather for almost all of March this year. In this video we stumbled upon an event called “La Matanza” in Llerena, the south of Spain, but it felt like we were at some Eastern European Christmas markets 😄 Also, @Tio hates crowds and can't indulge in cheese and wine, so these kinds of events are not for him ☺️
Tio hates crowds!
We decided to stay in Llerena for a market/festival thing. It was quite crowded in the motorhome area and even more crowded where the event was. Tio hates crowds :). But Sasha loves wine and cheese. So we had an ok time overall :). But we try our best to void the crowds.

We got our motorhome stuck for the first time! videos.trom.tf/w/bxTbZkK2TYaUY…
But it happened in a super beautiful place, Cerro Masatrigo, and a very nice local man came to our rescue.
I also did a nice little hike called Sendero Fortaleza de Lares to get an even better view of this area in Extremadura (around the middle of Spain).
#vanlife #nature #hiking #travel #Spain #Europe
Getting stuck in the most beautiful place
Masatrigo looks like a volcano, but it is just a beautifully shaped hill with a roundabout around it. It looks so cool from afar, and the entire area is actually super beautiful. But it has been raining in Spain for many weeks and the soil/grass was very wet. We parked in a not so very steep place, but it was enough to get us totally stuck.Luckily a very nice old man came to our rescue.

I found a very interesting YouTube channel of a homeless English-speaking Japanese man. Why did it interest me? Because I always thought that without electricity and water, etc., without a home in short. A van or an apartment. It's very difficult. This man shows a different kind of life. There are a lot of YouTubers who live in a car or a van or a cabin without electricity, but very few homeless people (by choice. Mentally stable) who have to rely on electrical outlets in cafes and libraries, Public showers and finding a place every night to pitch a tent.

We decided to wait out the storm in yet another place- videos.trom.tf/w/bv3rpVt3GQWZ8…
Playa de la Colada, el Viso. A nice looking recreational area, pretty quiet off season, but the water was contaminated and was full of dying fish! A little bit eerie but otherwise a nice place. In the last photo you can see how flooded it was after all this rain.
Oh and we also found mold under our bed! 😯
Lots of dying fish in this lake
PLAYA DE LA COLADA: This was a beautiful yet kinda creepy place because we found a LOT of fish dying and it looked really weird. Not a water you want to go swim into. We solved the mystery later on when we red more about the place... Except that, we had a good time there and the scenery was really nice. We even did some nigthtime timelapse.

On stormy days (which there have been a lot of), we mostly stay inside and eat cheesecake 😁 videos.trom.tf/w/jwu1LtBABCHGW…
We stayed in a motorhome parking area near a little town called Alcaracejos, where we found a lot of white buildings and one very small car ☺️
Trapped in a storm for many days
Several storms hit Spain for almost a month. Raining, clouds, cold and wind. We decided to go to a motorhome parking in Alcaracejos and stay there for several days to wait for the storm to calm down. We put a lot of strain on our batteries and our patience :D.

This is how we do laundry (while living in a motorhome) 😄

How we do the laundry?
It is unreasonable to have a washing machine in the motorhome. So then, how do we wash our clothes? Interestingly it is easier than doing it at home.

We visited for free this amazing cave. I think it has the tallest formation of stalactites in the world. 32 meters.
There are people in these photos if you look carefully :D
In this care there were people living some 25.000 years ago. Nuts! And cave hyenas. And they discovered cave paintings there that could be the oldest in all human species history, some 42.000 years ago made by Neanderthals. But still they need to confirm this.

This is me down there...
Mind blowing experience. You have to visit this cave if you can. Put it on your bucket list. The photos do no justice to how amazing the experience was. And from 9:30 every day they provide free tickets if you manage to book them.
Fantastic!
Of course we will make a video about this for our TROMhome channel - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide…

This was a bit of a weird place with way too much garbage and too many garbage bins (that were strangely empty), but otherwise a very nice view from our main window! :)

This was a creepy place
We ended up in a place that was used for cultish rituals (aka: religion). Tens of big trash bins, lots and lots of garbage, fire pits...and signs about "virgins". Except that, the place was quiet and still ok :).
